Back on January 14th of this year, our family became shareholders of TD with our initial purchase of 10 shares at $42.00. The stock had eventually recovered from the January lows and, at one point, reached the $46.00 mark for a brief moment in April.  Since April, however, the stock has been on a continuous decline and today set another 52-week low at $38.66. 

We've been keeping a close eye on the stock since it dipped below the $40 mark and today decided to pull the trigger and add another 10 shares of TD to our portfolio. Our buy today was at the purchase price of $38.88 a share.   

With our recent purchase of TD, we added $15.65 in forward dividends to our family's dividend stocks portfolio. This now puts our yearly dividends at approximately $2,691/year (excluding our Edwards Jones account) and $3,049/year (including our Edward Jones account). Today's purchase was our 5th buy of the month. Looks like July will end as another active month for this Frugal Family of 4! :)

Since we had already held TD shares in our family's dividend stocks portfolios (WF and EJ Accounts), the portfolio remains unchanged at a total of 44 different dividend paying stocks/ETFs and also 4 companies that either don't pay a dividend our has currently suspended their dividends.
