Purchased 8 shares of EMR on 9/22/2015 at $44.25
Total Spent: $354.00

This morning, with Emerson Electric (EMR) seemingly this month's ASK THE READERS pick, we decided to place an order to buy 8 shares of EMR.  In case you missed it, we asked our readers to pick a stock between Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.B), Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD), and Emerson Electric (EMR).  At the time of this write up, the final tally was: RDS.B- 0, TD- 1, and EMR- 3.  Based on the comments and results, it is clear that even at all time lows, investors are staying clear of oil for the moment.

With the overall market in a bit of a slump lately, it has provided everyone with additional opportunities to pick up shares, or in our case average down our cost basis on a few long term holdings. 

So on Wednesday, we decided to pick up 9 more shares of EMR (Emerson Electric). We originally picked up shares of EMR back in October of 2014, and then again last month. So with our purchase this week, we now own 27 total shares of EMR in our family's dividend stocks portfolio.  I'm happy to report that the cost basis for our EMR shares went down again from $58.00 to $54.94.  Our estimated forward dividends grew another $16.92, putting our yearly dividends at approximately $3,017/year (excluding our Edwards Jones account) and $3,375/year (including our Edward Jones account).

Since we had already held EMR shares in our family's dividend stocks portfolios (WF and EJ Accounts), the portfolio remains unchanged at a total of 44 different dividend paying stocks/ETFs and also 4 companies that either don't pay a dividend our has currently suspended their dividends..

EMERSON ELECTRIC (EMR)
Purchased 9 shares of EMR on 7/07/2015 at $55.00
Total Spent: $495.00
$16.92 added to annual dividends

With the China and Greece in the news, technical issues in the NYSE that halted trading for 3 hours, and further drop in oil prices (unfortunately not at the pump), Mr. Market provided everyone with additional opportunities to pick up shares or in our case average down our cost basis on a few long term holdings. 

Back in October of 2014, we picked up 9 shares of EMR at $61.00.  On Tuesday (7/7), we decided to pick up 9 more shares of EMR (Emerson Electric) to average down our cost basis. With our recent purchase, we now own 18 total shares of EMR in our family's dividend stocks portfolio.  The cost basis for our EMR shares went from $61.00 to $58.00.  Our estimated forward dividends grew another $16.92, putting our yearly dividends at approximately $2,372/year (excluding our Edwards Jones account) and $2,754/year (including our Edward Jones account).

Tuesday's purchase, however, did not add a new holding to our family's dividend stocks portfolio, which remains at a total of 40 different dividend paying stocks/ETFs in the portfolio
