Goal Accomplished: Investing $15,000 in “New” Capital
I’m excited! I haven’t written one of these articles in a long time and it feels great to be back in the game. My last purchase of Emerson Electric was significant for a few reasons. There is the obvious significance that I now have a cost basis over $3,000 for an individual stock for the first time. It is a powerhouse position in my portfolio and will be a great foundation stock in my portfolio for many years to come. But more importantly, this last purchase helped me accomplish/defeat on of my 2015 investing goals! Let’s see which goal I conquered and how I was able to do so in the first nine months of the year.

Bert’s Recent Buy – EMR…too
Yesterday was a very fun day for me as I quickly went from a passive trader who was standing to the sideline in a matter of minutes. My purchase on Friday shared a lot of parallels with a situation from a month or two ago, which resulted in learning a valuable investing about always having a watch list prepared. The best part…the result was different and I couldn’t be happier. See why I purchased Emerson Electric (EMR) yesterday.

Bert’s Recent Buy – 3M Company (MMM)
Well everyone, Lanny wasn’t the only one on this website to take advantage of the market downturn as he purchased JNJ earlier in the week. After finishing my recent obsession of building up my stake in IBM a few weeks ago, I began hoarding cash with a new target in mind. I have been monitoring this company on and off over the last year or so and the recent downturn in the market presented too good of an opportunity for me to continue sitting on the sideline. Let’s see which stock I purchased this week!
Lanny’s Recent Purchase – JNJ
Mr. Market you can keep taking that downturn all you want. As long as us Dividend Diplomats have capital and we feel there is an opportunity, we are going to try and strike, in the words of Austin Carr – throw the hammer down. The market was on a nice decline today, came slightly back, but then took another slide in the park for us. Let’s dive in about who, why and how much I bought of a certain stock!
