Summary of Recent Buys - Week of October 25

My weekly summary of buys from around the blogging community for the week of October 25, 2015.

This weeks totals:

  • 39 Total Purchases(+11 from last week)
  • 28 Uniquely Different Stocks Bought (+4 from last week)
  • 21 Different Bloggers Posted Buys(+7 from last week)
A total of $28,017 was invested in dividend stocks this week. About a $4k increase from last week. Things are picking up again this week.

Bloggers increased forward yearly dividends by  $1,458! That's a 5.2% Average Yield on Investment!

I have started something new this week as recommended by a couple bloggers in the past. I have a weekly S&P % Return vs Amount of Money invested in the market for that week. It is starting to show a correlation which does make sense, if you think about it. The cheaper stocks are, the higher dividend yield, the more interested bloggers become.


Top Purchased Stocks this week:

  1. KMI - 5 Buys
  2. VTR - 3 Buys
  3. OHI,WMT - 2 Buys
KMI was the clear winner this week as the stock has dropped dramatically and yields a greater than 7% dividend.

Here is the F.A.S.T Graph for KMI.




Here is the summary of stocks, amount invested, and which blogger posted the buy with a link to the post:

    1. Thanks D4s! It is interesting data isn't it. I look forward to see what the trend is as I get more data. Thanks for stopping in and sharing on Twitter!

  2. I really like the buys to the S&P correlation chart... keeps all us bloggers accountable to buying when stocks are cheap(er). Looks like we did a pretty good job on that last dip. It's not quite a 1 to 1 correlation because some stocks could have a decent size drop while the market stays flat but otherwise, this will be fun to see.

    Thanks for the mention too!

    1. You're right ADD... This doesn't tell the entire story. It would be interesting to see the performance of the stocks that bloggers bought vs total spent that week but that's much harder to collect. I will keep thinking about ways to improve this though. Thanks for the comment and stopping in to read!

  3. KMI has been making the rounds quite a bit among the dividend bloggers. I guess with their continued dividend increases and relatively safe business model and moat it seems like a solid long term bet especially once oil prices rebound. I added CAT and DOV during the week. I guess those haven't been as popular.

    1. Hi DivHut, Thanks for the comment! I think the only question with KMI is WHEN oil prices are going to increase again (and maybe even IF they will). I know CAT has been popular in past weeks. DOV you see a bit too but not as often as other names. Take care!
