Since I began investing in dividend stocks approximately a year and a half ago I've been keeping a personal log of what other dividend bloggers and dividend investors are buying. Until now, I've just done it for my own personal knowledge and it has proven to be a great resource I use when I have no idea what I should buy.
The collection essentially highlights the recent buys I have discovered throughout the dividend blog community. I always like to see what others are buying. And with this collection, one can easily see all the buys in one centralized source. And just last month, I started making my collection of Recent Buys available on my blog for everyone. Hope everyone has found it to be a great resource!
In case you just want a quick summary of what everyone has been buying this past month, below is a chart that depicts just that! :)
(The chart and table above only includes companies with more than 1 buy)
This past month saw people buying a little of everything. Unlike the last few months where we saw oil and energy stocks dominating the buys, we saw people buying across all sectors of the market. Out of a total of 32 buys found around the dividend blogging community, only 7 companies were bought by more than once. The most popular stock this past month was Toronto Dominion Bank (TD), followed by Unilever (UL). There was a five-way tie for the third most popular purchase.
As with my collection of stock analyses, my goal is to make this collection also become a centralized source for everyone. It could become a place where one can get ideas on what to invest in next, to establish a desired stock purchase price, or simply to see what your favorite bloggers are buying. Whatever your reason, my hope is that this collection proves to be a great reference tool and helps provide you that little extra advantage that you are looking for in order to succeed with your investing.
Please make sure to check back periodically as
the list will be updated frequently!
Well I was one of those popular TD buys in January. Also added to my EMR as well. Looks like Feb. will shape up to be Canadian for me as well as all the large Canadian banks have been beaten down along with oil in recent months. Thanks for sharing this compilation.
ReplyDeleteDivHut - We also bought TD this past month. Great value with Canadian banks right now. I might be joining you with some more buys in large Canadian banks this coming month. :) AFFJ
DeleteBought CFR but mine don't come out till the next time I do one of my screens. It is sort of related to energy sector taking a hit since the bank is located in TX and presumably has a ton of energy clients.

Evan - I will keep my eye out for your post and will add it to our Recent Buys collection when I see it. It sounds like a nice company to own. I especially love the 22 consecutive years of increasing dividends. Not a bad yield either! I'll have to keep an eye on it myself. Thanks for sharing. AFFJ
DeleteAFFJ,
ReplyDeleteThose 7 stocks are on my watchlist, has attractive valuation and yield. Don't you wish you have more capital to invest to keep on buying?
We own 5 of the 7 stocks mentioned. And yes, all are great companies to own. Some are just going through some short-term challenges right now.
DeleteYes, I sometimes wish I had more capital. I am still very thankful and feel blessed just to have money each month to invest. But I credit that to having a plan and a budget. With both, you should theoretically know exactly how much you can invest each month. All you need to you then is find things to invest in. AFFJ
Great post AFFJ - it is always interesting to really see how the DG community is investing. Of course, thank you for curating this - much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome W2R. Glad you like and appreciate the post. This data has been very useful to me and my investing. Hope it proves to be useful for others...if nothing more, at least provide everyone with some ideas or stocks to add to their watch list. :)

UPDATE: With 5 NEW Recent Buys added today, NOV is now tied with UL for 2nd most popular with 3 buys. Other 4 new purchases did not alter the chart/table. AFFJ
