What are your thoughts about my recent purchase?

What are you buying?
Great buys, and I am considering GE and BBL as well. 3200 in annual dividends is a great sum of money. IS it all reinvested into new shares or do you take it as cash?
ReplyDeleteThanks RUE. We think both are great companies with good fundamentals with attractive dividends that appear to be stable. Would love to have you as a fellow shareholder if or when you decided to buy in.
DeleteAs for our annual dividends, we now receive them in cash and then reinvest them into a company (new or sometimes existing) that we feel is a good value at the time.
Thanks for stopping by and for the comment. AFFJ
Great buys. I really want to buy BBL once I have some US fund in the RRSP. TD is looking very interesting right now, might add to some existing position. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tawcan. We've been adding to our BBL holding lately. Hope to see you as a fellow shareholder soon. As for TD, it seems to be a popular stock lately. With the current prices, we could pass up initiating a position. :) AFFJ
Deletehi affj ,
ReplyDeletege has a debt/equity of 2.27 . is that safe ?
A debt to/equity ratio of 1 is preferred, but for a company like GE (with their credit rating and cash flow); personally, I am OK with their current debt/equity ratio. Especially, given that their debt/equity has been decreasing in recent years. It shows that management is conscious of the debt and trying to lower the ratio little by little. AFFJ
