February 2022 (Recap) - BUY/SELLS & DIVIDENDS RECEIVED

    

Happy Friday everyone!! Well, this year hasn't been great for our investments in general but our family's dividend stocks portfolio has surprisingly performed well due to our somewhat heavy exposure to oil-related stocks. But with the recent run-up due to supply concerns from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we have taken the opportunity to cash out some of our gains lately. We are hoping to spend a little of that on some growth stocks since we don't need access to the money in our dividend stocks account for at least 8-10 years.

After a brief pause to do some home improvements, our family resumed active trading in May of last year. We have since resumed active trading activities each month.  Although we no longer post full details of our buys and sells activities, we had 3 sells and 6 buys this past month.

Sells (decrease in Fwd Dividends: $39.80/yr): 

• XOM (EXXON MOBIL CORP) - $17.60
• BKR (BAKER HUGHES A GE CO) - $7.20
• HP (HELMERICH & PAYNE INC) - $15.00

Buys (increase in Fwd Dividends: $222.60/yr): 

• OHI (OMEGA HEALTHCARE REIT INVESTORS INC) - $40.20
• KIND (NEXTDOOR HLDGS INC CL A) - N/A
• DIDI (DIDI GLOBAL INC ADR) - N/A
• AI (C3.AI INC CL A) - N/A
• LUMN (LUMEN TECHNOLOGIES INC) - $175.00
• INTC (INTEL CORP) - $7.40

With the activities seen above, our forward annual dividends increased roughly $182.80. Look for our March transactions as we have been very active this month. We've had 15 buys/sells in only eleven days so far! And we are looking to possibly buy more with valuations looking more attractive these days.   

What is everyone else doing? Are you buying anything right now?   

Now for what you all came to see, below is a list of the dividends/partnership distributions that we received from our family's dividend stocks portfolio.
