HCP, Inc
 (HCP)
Purchased 9 shares of HCP on 5/29/2015 at $38.75
Total Spent: $348.75
$20.34 added to annual dividends
 

Our purchase of HCP, Inc (HCP) was based on the results from our recent ASK THE READERS post. On Tuesday, after the votes were tallied, we set a limit order to buy HCP, Inc at $38.75.  This afternoon, the market provided us with an opportunity to add another company to our family's dividend stocks portfolio. In fact, HCP, Inc actually set a new 52-week low today when it dipped as low as $38.53.  We didn't pick up shares at the today's bottom but we are still happy grabbing a few shares at the limit price we had established.  Plus, as typical for an initial purchase, we didn't spend a huge amount of capital.  If HCP, Inc. continues to dip into the low $30s, we wouldn't have any problems grabbing few more shares to average down our cost basis. 

With the recent purchase HCP, Inc (HCP), our family's dividend stocks portfolio now holds a total of 38 different dividend paying stocks/ETFs in the portfolio. Our estimated forward dividends grew another $20.34, putting our yearly dividends at approximately $3,196/year.
