I agree, Maybe not a good short term buy, but I think over the long run, IBM is a great company to own. <br /><br />As for OXY, been watching it for awhile and was thrilled to have had the opportunity to buy in at such a great price! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping buy and for your comment.

Most of my buys are because the stock price has reach my set limit price. Maybe not a strategy for everyone, but it seems to work for us. :)<br /><br />Hope the stock market provide you an opportunity to become a fellow shareholder in ARCP, we would be glad to have you on board. ;)<br /><br />Best Wishes and Continued Success!

Regardless of the issues it's facing, it presents a very compelling valuation, and I doubt it's in any serious danger over the long run.DividendDeveloperhttp://dividenddeveloper.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-21792788180396949252014-10-24T21:57:23.883-07:002014-10-24T21:57:23.883-07:00Some great value in your buys AFFJ!

I'm holding off waiting to see if we have another dip before I pull the trigger. Keep up the great work!

Glad I did because it has quickly recovered since. In fact, the stock is up roughly $6.50 (or 7%) since I bought just a little over a week ago! :)<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and for your comment.

I have not problems averaging down on dividend growth stocks that I plan to keep long term. :)<br /><br />Cheers to the IBM price drop!

We felt the recent dip was a good opportunity to add to our existing holdings. <br /><br />Best wishes and continued success on your personal journey!

A 14-yr dividend grower who's pay out is only 25%, I personally can't find too many reasons why IBM is not a good long term play here. :) <br /><br />OXY was really beaten down when we bought it, the stock has risen $6.52 since we bought it roughly a week ago. I also like OXY as a long term hold. We would have no problem adding to our holdings if the stock comes back down below our purchase price. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and for your comment.

I'm now so heavy in energy that I am not looking for another energy position but their metrics looks solid. IBM is top of the list if I buy a tech name right now. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your purchases!All About Interesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13412467028446944315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-90351938643328436982014-10-23T21:52:35.544-07:002014-10-23T21:52:35.544-07:00AFFJ,

I have been adding to that name for several months and it is now my largest holding. OXY seems like an interesting call too. You don't really hear that name among the dividend bloggers.
