Well, well, well. Hold on tight. The stock market may as well be considered big red, because that’s the only color we have been seeing as of late. And, I made another purchase. A very familiar one as you can see by the title. It’s been a very confusing blood bath out there, as I like to call it. This has made my stomach drop everyday. Everyday, only because I wish I had $30K in cash ready to just fire away at the market. It’s incredible the, as Jim Cramer from CNBC calls it, “accidental high yielders” that are out there. I believe Archer Daniels (ADM) to be one of them. Fire Away!

Lanny’s 2015 Portfolio Review
I keep a copy in PDF of my portfolio every quarter, and have a deeper dive at 12/31, but this also provides a blog’d example of where I stand, so I can always refer back on the site the historical position of my portfolio. As we have done in the prior year, this post will be a review and re-cap overall of my portfolio, the contributions, dividend going forward, dividend received, what I can analyze from the current position, etc.. It’s always fun to see what the year compiled into one snapshot of all of the hard work that goes into it. I am excited to see where it stands and what can be done going into this new year! Let’s dive on in. Continue reading
The Reminder of being a Dividend Growth Investor from KMI’s News
SMACK! The thunderous market was turmoiling, lower and lower. Kinder Morgan (KMI) was taking a beating. They just announced news about additional investments, further deteriorating the credit quality by the rating indexes. From trading at $42.81 to begin the year and then plummeting downward to a spiral collapse at $16.42 on the close of 12/7, is truly amazing, a 62% decline from one of the Nation’s biggest/largest oil pipeline companies. Management kept enamoring a dividend focused strategy, to set increases at a % growth rate each year, and then committing by showing/increasing the dividend throughout the year. Interesting how the year really can unfold… Continue reading
Lanny’s Recent Purchase – ADM
Whoa Whoa! The market has been on the slide, going downwards and man, new opportunities are unleashing! I know everyone has been busy with re-couping over the KMI decision – they will be fine, and with the large moat they have, should survive. It’s been a wild as all hell week and the capital has been unloaded. Let’s check out the purchase.
Lanny’s Recent Purchase – NWFL
So it is time for the Final Push in December to see if we can buy the best opportunity stock to hit our yearly goals we had set in the prior year. The market has been extremely choppy as of late, but it was time for me to make an investment. The investment was into my Roth-IRA account, and you’ll see why within the article. Whom did I make a purchase into? Let’s check this out.

Notable Dividend Increases during November
It has been some wild ride this month – no doubt. Companies have begun/continued to release their ever so exciting dividend increases and I’m here smiling to receive them, that’s for sure. Some have increased them at a not so high level, some right on where you’d expect and others have had surprisingly nice dividend increases. I’m sadly going to be very conceited and focus on the dividend stocks in my portfolio that have made announcements mid-way through November. I primarily will be focused on the companies, years they have increased, the impact to the portfolio and essentially, bringing it all together to show why we are dividend investors. Okay, enough of this Italian typing away, let’s get to the article. 
Lanny’s Recent Purchase – KMI
Back at it again! Finally, after I just stated I haven’t made a purchase in weeks and nothing looked appetizing, I made a purchase on October 22nd – when the market was…. ALL GREEN almost. Well, in every green day there has to be one stock that looks undervalued. I ended up buying a stock I already own after another dividend increase. Let’s see who I purchased. Continue reading
