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. In November of 2014, I started making my collection of Recent Buys available on my blog for everyone. I 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)
The buying activity this past month seemed to have declined a bit. Maybe it was because February is a short month or maybe it was because in the months prior it seemed like everyone was on a bit of a buying spree. Whatever the reason, it looks like oil and energy stocks seemed to be losing a little bit of its luster as we saw people buying across all sectors of the market again this past month.
Out of a total of 24 buys found around the dividend blogging community, only 5 companies were bought by more than once. Health care lead the way this past month with Johnson and Johnson (JNJ) and Baxter International (BAX) leading the way, followed by a three-way tie for the third with TD, NOV, EMR each with 2 buys a piece. We have a limit order open for JNJ but the price has continued to rise since. We are hoping that March provides a little dip so that we can initiate shares in Johnson and Johnson (JNJ).

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 is updated frequently!
Thanks for putting this together and sharing with the community, AFFJ. It really helps in seeing all the buys in one place to see where others are focusing their attention.

You're welcome...glad to see others enjoy and get something out of it. We almost religiously use our Collection of Recent Buys as a starting point whenever we have any capital to spend.
DeleteThanks for ongoing support both here and on twitter! AFFJ
Well, I know which two I snagged (JNJ and EMR)! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting this together, always great to see what others are buying.
Both great buys W2R. Glad you like the collection. :)
DeleteIt's definitely not for everyone, but personally, I like to choose along with the masses. This is a tool I use to gauge what seems to be a hot stock or company. AFFJ
Thanks for sharing this collection. Everyone loves to see what others are buying and I'm no exception. Put me in the TD camp for Feb.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome DivHut. Love hearing all the positive feedback. It is sometimes challenging to keep up-to-date so glad to hear people appreciate it. :)
DeleteTD was one of the stocks people were buying this past month. We actually picked up a few shares in January and may consider adding more when we get more capital, if prices stay at current levels.

Hi AFFJ,
ReplyDeleteThanks for maintaining this useful summary - I went (mostly) with JNJ and EMR in February.
Best wishes,

You're welcome Dividend Life...Glad you like it.
DeleteYou're in good company with JNJ and EMR...we actually have a limit order for JNJ but may have missed our train as the prices have risen the last few days. :(
By the way, came across your blog today through your twitter account. Nice work so far buddy...keep it up. I definitely plan to follow along.
AFFJ
By the way, just added you to our blogroll...feel free to do the same. :)

Hi AFFJ,

Best wishes,

Really neat to see what other bloggers are buying in the community. Thanks for putting this together.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Tawcan...thanks for stopping by and for the positive feedback. Makes the effort all the more worthwhile! :) AFFJ
DeleteThanks for compiling the recent buys. I'd love to add more JNJ but it needs to get back down below $100 for me to be interested again. Hopefully March will provide an opportunity. I'm looking at adding some more NOV to my portfolio as well so I see I have at least 2 other bloggers that agree with me. I've got a few on my watchlist that I'm pretty close to purchasing if the share price can come down just a bit more so we'll see what this week brings.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome PIP...interesting you mentioned the $100 mark....that is what we set our limit buy at. Hopefully it dips to that mark sometime in March :)
DeleteAs for NOV, its risen the last few days so hopefully you do get that opportunity your looking for.
Regardless, wishing you nothing but success! AFFJ
Good list AFFJ. I also bought TD last week and also owb JNJ, BAX and NOV. Keep racing!
