Can we get another article out about dividend stock purchases or what?  Yes, this is yet another dividend stock purchase article, covering my last two weeks of activity.  I am going to start doing this now, from an article standpoint, as my dividend stock purchases are becoming more frequent, due to certain life events and brokerage changes.  Though the stock market has continued to roar, set new highs and show the bullish signs, there are always dividend stocks being undervalued out there.  Therefore, I made a few purchases over the last two weeks and let’s find out what I bought!
