Ah…. smell that fresh roast of coffee? The beans rattling in the container and the vroom sound from the grinder. It’s Saturday every morning, afternoon and night. It’s non stop, it’s busy and it’s quiet. It’s a memory, a relationship connection, it’s a get away. The moment that they call your name and hand you the special cup with the sleeve – you instantly become excited, as that moment gives you the sense of control, promise and forward-looking. I speak of the Starbucks (SBUX) corporation and I’ve been tempted to make an investment into this life-connecting organization.

Lanny’s Recent Purchase – HCP
November is underway folks! The market has had a blood bath out there and it was time for me to re-up in a position that I already had a stake in. Let’s just say – it was about time to pump my retirement accounts back up, since I haven’t contributed to that bad boy in months. Let’s see what purchase transaction I had!

Lanny’s October Watch List
It’s been a while since I’ve come out with a post. Just for the readers – I’m a public accounting firm in a top 10 firm that audits SEC registrants and the last week I’ve been in the middle of our own regulators inspection process on the audit work that we perform – therefore, my days have been approximately 12-15 hours long, depending on the day, been a whirlwind, but thank God for Bert, the other Diplomat for continuing to write away. Thank you Bert. I’ll also do a spin off with him and write about my October Watch List. Let’s see what stocks are high on my list and which one’s I would actually consider to invest into. “There’s only one October!”
Seagate Technologies (STX) Stock Analysis
Now seems to be a pretty good time to perform a stock analysis as we approach the middle of the month! We have had ups and downs within the Market and it really can’t decide which way it truly wants to go. With interest rates remaining on hold (thanks Fed… – was really hoping for a bigger discount, kidding!), the market has been a tick upwards over the last 1-2 weeks. I wanted to hop into a sector and stock that has been beaten down this year with what is perceived to be sound dividend metrics. How about the technology sector? Seagate Technologies (STX) – you are up!
Lanny’s Recent Purchase – EMR (x3)
Well – I am sure you can read from the subject line – I was back at it again with a wonderful dividend aristocrat stock. It’s hard to keep staying away from this stock when the market wants to keep throwing the discounts and sales in your face! I was fortunate to have capital and make a stock purchase limit order yesterday on October 1st, 2015. I purchased Emerson Electric (EMR) for the third time in the last 2 months! Let’s find out why:
Lanny’s Recent Purchase – EMR
It’s the middle of the month and well, you know the Dividend Diplomats have a tough time sitting on the side lines during market movements! Given that the market has been on a rollercoaster ride lately, and mostly down over the last few weeks, it was time to add more income for less and take advantage of a discounted aristocrat of a company I already owned. I was excited to round the position out even further, and thought – I think the future me will be happy for it. Let’s take a look at the recent add to my current position of Emerson Electric (EMR):
Procter & Gamble (PG) Stock Analysis
It’s close to the middle of the month and the market has still been extremely volatile. With that, I know that opportunities are out there, wonderful opportunities, especially dividend stocks that are aristocrats. Yields are looking fairly unusually high for a few of the aristocrats that do not historically have them at these levels. This makes us all extremely motivated and excited investors as our dividends are reinvested at better valuations and also opens up the table for buying potential! With that, we will analyze one of the dividend aristocrats in Procter & Gamble or PG.
