RECENT BUY - (NYSE : CVX)

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED THE FOLLOWING

CHEVRON CORPORATION (CVX)
Purchased 5 shares of CVX on 7/06/2015 at $95.00
Total Spent: $475.00
$21.40 added to annual dividends

For our last purchase in June (on 6/26), we ended up picking up a few shares of Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM), which was our readers 2nd pick from our recent ASK THE READERS post.

On Monday (7/6), we decided to pick up a few more shares of CVX (Chevron Corporation) to average down our cost basis. With our recent purchase, we now own 10 total shares of CVX in our family's dividend stocks portfolio. The cost basis for our CVX shares is now $97.50. Our estimated forward dividends grew another $21.40, putting our yearly dividends at approximately $2,928/year (excluding our Edwards Jones account) and $3,310/year (including our Edward Jones account).

Monday'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

RECENT BUY - (NYSE : XOM)

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED THE FOLLOWING

EXXON MOBIL CORP (XOM)
Purchased 5 shares of XOM on 6/26/2015 at $83.50
Total Spent: $417.50
$14.60 added to annual dividends

On Thursday, we purchased Omega Healthcare REIT Investors, Inc (OHI) based on the results from our recent ASK THE READERS post. With some extra funds laying around, we decided to also pick up share in Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM) which appeared to be our readers second pick. Since we already own shares of XOM, and the current price did allow us to average down our cost basis a bit, we decided to buy 5 shares of XOM on Friday, 6/26/15 at $83.50.

With this purchase, we now own 11 total shares of XOM in our family's dividend stocks portfolio. The 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. Our estimated forward dividends grew another $14.60, putting our yearly dividends at approximately $2,907/year (excluding our Edwards Jones account) and $3,289/year (including our Edward Jones account).

RECENT BUY - (NYSE: OKS)

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED THE FOLLOWING

ONEOK PARTNERS L P (OKS)
Purchased 12 shares of OKS on 6/4/2015 at $37.98
$37.92 added to annual dividends

We've been watching Oneok Partners L P (OKS) for a few months now. Today, the market provided us with an opportunity to add another company to our family's dividend stocks portfolio.

OKS currently has a great yield at 8.42% and a decent 9 year history of consecutive dividend increase, but looking at the payout ratio, one has to be concerned that OKS can not keep up the increases for much longer. With that said, I am buying in with the notion that there may not be more raises in the coming future, and hopefully no decreases. :)

All in all, we are happy to be shareholders at today's discounted prices. With our purchase of Oneok Partners L P (OKS) today, our family's dividend stocks portfolio now holds a total of 39 different dividend paying stocks/ETFs in the portfolio. Our estimated forward dividends grew another $37.92, putting our yearly dividends at approximately $2,872/year (excluding our Edwards Jones account) and $3,254/year (including our Edward Jones account).
