March 2022 - Buys/Sells & Dividends Received (LATE POST)

     

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 pullbacks in the market, we have taken the opportunity to cash out some of our gains lately. We are hoping to spend a little of that on some income and 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 9 sells and 10 buys this past month.

Sells (decrease in Fwd Dividends: $479.08/yr): 

• OXY (OCCIDENTAL PETE CORP) - $44.20
• MO (ALTRIA GROUP INC) - $162.00
• RIG (TRANSOCEAN LTD) - N/A
• ENB (ENBRIDGE INC) - $68.80
• BMY (BRISTOL MYERS SQUIBB CO) - $20.16
• HES (HESS CORPORATION) - $10.52
• CAH (CARDINAL HEALTH INC) - $127.40
• PNW (PINNACLE WEST CAP CORP) - $30.40
• AEP (AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER INC ) -$15.60

Buys (increase in Fwd Dividends: $85.00/yr): 

• WDC (WESTERN DIGITAL CORP) - N/A
• GILD (GILEAD SCIENCES INC) - $20.92
• GM (GENERAL MOTORS CO) - N/A
• COF (CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORP) - $12.00

• IQ (IQIYI INC ADR) - N/A
• CITI (CITIGROUP INC) - $30.60
• YUMC (YUM CHINA HOLDINGS INC) - $7.20

With the activities seen above, our forward annual dividends decreased by roughly $394.08. Wow! We knew our forward dividends would be falling due to the recent sales but have to admit, I didn't think they were going to go down by this much. Look for our April buys because we made a few purchases that helped get some of these forward dividends back. :)

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.
