Collection of RECENT BUYS (Summary) - July 2015

Since I began investing in dividend stocks approximately two years 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. 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 3 buys)

The buying activity around the DGI community continued its momentum throughout the month of July. Although I believe the growing number of buys is somewhat related to my continued efforts to provide a more complete list, another record was set this past month for the highest number of buys logged by the DGI community in a single month. In all, a total of 94 buys were found throughout the month of July. 

Once again, since there were so many buys logged, we have only charted those companies with 3 or more buys (we originally charted companies with 2 or more buys).  

To summarize, out of a total of 94 buys found around the DGI community, a total of 53 companies were purchased, with 23 companies bought more than once.  

1. The most popular company this past month was Emerson Electric (EMR), which was purchased by 6 different investors throughout the DGI community.  
2. In second place was Chevron Corp (CVX), which was purchased by 5 different investors throughout the DGI community. 
3. Third place was a tie between Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD), Caterpiller Inc (CAT), Wal-Mart Stares (WMT) and Omega Health Care Investor Inc (OHI) with a total of 4 buys.  

The following companies each had 3 buys (3 total): 

• Union Pacific (UNP), 3M (MMM), Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI). 

And although not included in the chart, the following companies each had 2 buys (14 total): 

• T.Rowe Price (TROW), Qualcomm Inc (QCOM),  Oneok Inc (OKE), National Oilwell Varco (NOV), Norfolk Southern (NSC), Realty Income Corp (O), Dover Corp (DOV), Ventas, Inc (VTR), Inter Pipeline Ltd (IPL), Royal Bank of Canda (RY), Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM), Bank of Montreal (BMC), International Business Machine (IBM), Target Corp (TGT).

I am happy and thankful to report that our family remained active during the continued buying frenzy this past month.  During the month of July, we picked up shares in CVX, EMR, UNP, MMM, and TD for our family's dividend stocks portfolio.  Can't wait til the forward dividends from our recent buys show up in future dividend income reports!!

 COLLECTION OF RECENT BUYS

If you have a chance, make sure you also take a look at my Collection of Stock Analyses!! As with my collection of recent buys, 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.
