  1. Nice job AFFJ and congrats on this buy. The recent hit in the stock price makes TGT a nice value right now. We love target and spend way too much there every month.

    1. Thanks Captain. TGT has been a popular buy lately after it sharply dropped from their highs in the 80s, to the current prices in the high 60s. AFFJ

  3. AFFJ,

    YOU!!! Cannot believe you got it at that price! I've seen other purchases in TGT, but they were grabbing it in the $68=$69 range, looks like you were able to capitalize at the almost near bottom point during the last week or so - congratulations and GREAT addition!

    1. Thanks Lanny. It was luck. Who knows, we might see another dip and you can grab shares at an even lower price than I got. haha.

      Thanks for visiting and commenting bud. Best wishes! AFFJ

    1. Thanks. Great minds. I just lucked out on the pricing though. Just glad I was able to pick up shares to replace the ones I sold not more than a month ago. :)

  5. Hi AFFJ,

    I bought 29 shares of TGT at about $59 a share in 2014 and plan to hold for the long haul. It has been growing its dividend nicely since then.

    Also, I have recently been working on a dividend laddering excel spreadsheet I would like to share with the DGI community over at http://www.appliedcss.com/dividend-laddering-spreadsheet/. You put in your stocks and share count, it automatically builds your dividend payouts based on historical data from yahoo finance. Let me know what you think!

    1. You made a great pick up of TGT at $59...we actually did the same and recently sold a few shares when the price reached the low 80s. Glad we were able to buy back our share at a lower price point less than a month later!

      I will definitely check out your spreadsheet. Thanks for sharing. AFFJ

    2. Just checked out your spreadsheet. Nice tool to visually see and plan out your monthly dividend income. I've seen other bloggers maintain a similar spreadsheet but your spreadsheet has likely simplified things for all since it automatically builds your dividend payouts for you. Great way to estimate your dividends and plan our your payouts without much effort. Thanks again for sharing. AFFJ
