My Stock Watch List for upcoming week

I was busy last week and still did not make my decision on which stock I will purchase this week.

So here is my watch list for upcoming week*.

* If I move stock to this list, it means there was a price drop or current price is somewhere in the middle.
I do not buy stocks at their highest prices. I might miss some good stocks but I prefer to sit and wait.
If I have a stock on my list, it means I like something about this stock. If I buy one of these stocks, it does not mean I plan to keep them forever. I might sell them if their price would go up a lot and I feel it's time to sell.

I love Sales on my regular shopping sprays and I use this strategy for my stock shopping... :)

Stock Name, descriptionprice as 5/9Dividend Yield
FFord$15.773.20%
PFEPfizer$29.033.50%
KMIKinder Morgan (natural gas)$32.155.20%
TGTTarget$59.132.80%
ESVEnsco$50.665.90%
CNPCenterpoint energy$23.953.90%
WFMWhole Food Market$39.321.20%


As you might notice some stocks are still on my list from previous week.

Monday I added Target and Pfizer. See post here

I added ESV after A frugal familys journey suggested it and I did my own research. Here is another analysis for this stock.

Centerpoint energy price went down and I like to have variety of companies in my portfolio. It's a stable company, which has it's own niche. This is why this stock is on the list right now.

Whole Food Market does not look like a high yield dividend stock but this is one of these stocks which I like that they are doing. Unfortunately we don't have this store close by but I went to one in Boulder, CO and I really loved it.

At this moment I am trying to decide between PFE and KMI. I already have stocks of KMI but not PFE. So I probably will pick PFE. Variety is better, right? :)

Also I might buy some of Whole Food Market Stocks as well.

I guess next week will show.

Please share your stocks watch list.

  1. ESV, PFE, and KMI look great here. Centerpoint is a great company, but the yield might be a tad low for a utility. Keep up the great work!

  2. Nice job on the blog! :)

    Of your list I own stocks in PFE and it looks reasonable currently; P/E of 17.7; the company has been reducing debt-capital ratio for the last 3 years and the payout ratio is about 40%.

    I don't have a watch list to share at the moment as I won't be in a position to purchase for another week or so and who knows what may change by then but if things stay as they are, I'll be considering stocks in the Consumer Cyclical sector (e.g. HD, MCD) that I also own.

  4. Thanks for the mention...and nice pick up! Looks like you picked up ESV at a decent price too. If you like the sector, look into SDRL as a complement to your ESV holding. Although they have less rigs, their rigs are newer and the best part, they are 100% lease for 2014. Your growing your portfolio nicely...Keep it up!

  5. Interesting list you put together. I'm a div growth investor as well and do not have any of those stocks you mention. With regard to KMI, aren't you concern about their high payout ratio of over 100%? I know we all want current yield but what about buying a lower yield stock that has a low payout ratio with room to grow a dividend. Just my 2 cents.

  6. My wife and her sisters bought 30 shares in Pfizer literally about 10 years ago. Right now, they are worth almost $200 less than when they bought the shares (at the height of Viagra). Granted they've received some dividends over that time, currently a little short of $8/qtr. They didn't set it for automatic reinvestment unfortunately, and when you look at it from the perspective of not reinvesting the dividend, they're up maybe $30 after fees and after the 10 years they've had that stock.
    My personal taste is targeting much higher dividends $2-$3/shr/yr before I even consider it. $1/shr/yr is just not my bag of tea as the saying goes, but to each his own. :-)
    The only way I would purchase PFE would be BLSH and if I picked up the divvy along the way, all the better.
    I wish you luck in your endeavors!!!

  7. Hello Chris, thanks for stopping by. I am still experiencing with my portfolio but I learned that stocks with dividends are better than ones without.
