Bert’s Recent Stock Purchases – October – Part 1

Posted on by

At the end of my September dividend income summary article, I mentioned that I was extremely motivated and excited to purchase some stocks in October.   Shortly after, I put together a watch list identifying four dividend stocks that were on my radar.  It did not take long for me to put some capital to work with some of the stocks on this watch list.  When a stock price falls after you add it to your watch list, how could you say no?   These purchases were small and frequent due to our free trade credits from Ally Investing, so there will be a few different stocks in this article.  Here are the stocks I have been purchasing over the last couple of weeks!

Lanny’s Stock Purchases – August 13th through September 9th

I have been on quite the buying spree lately and have made 7 investment purchases within a 4 week window that I’m excited to share with everyone.  The stock purchases may be within a company that was already in my dividend portfolio or this could be an entire new position.  The one common trait that they all share is fairly simple – the stock purchases all produce growing dividends and pay on a quarterly basis!

Bert’s Recent Purchases – AT&T (T) and Dominion Energy (D)

This was a busy week.  After a month or so, my wife’s Roth IRA finally transferred from Capital One Investing to Ally Investing.  With this transfer came a sign-up bonus and free trades for 3 months.   So if you haven’t noticed, Lanny and I have been busy putting these free trades to work.  We’ve had plenty of small purchases!  When my wife’s account transferred over, there was some cash available from previous transfers and liquidated partial shares.  So I decided to put the money to work and add to two positions that she currently owned!
