Today I purchased DEO - Diageo plc.

I had this stock on my watch list for a while.
I like that at this moment this stock is trading close to lowest in 52 weeks.

I believe people will drink alcohol good or bad times.
Even if dividend yield 2.48% not so high, in my opinion overall this is a great stock to own and looks like a good addition to my portfolio.
I plan to make more purchases next week, so I will keep posting.
Thanks for reading.
We actually looked at DEO as a potential purchase this past month but ended up purchasing TGT instead. Would love to add DEO in the future. Love that market sector.
ReplyDeleteHello Tawcan! Thanks for stopping by! I have TGT in my portfolio too! :)
DeleteGreat buy. Love DEO and have owned it since 2007. Very solid business and recession resistant especially with the number of great brands this company owns. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHello DivHut! Always enjoy your comments! Thanks for sharing your opinion! I wanted to buy DEO for a while and I think now I've got my chance finally jump in! :)
DeleteHey HHWG,
ReplyDeleteSeems like a decent choice! In Holland we have Heineken, but they don't pay (much) dividends I think.
However, the only Heineken family member still alive (5th generation), is in the top 3 of richest persons of the country.
So yea, I guess it's a good business to own!
Best wishes, DfS
Hello DfS, thanks for stopping by! yes I totally agree. People will drink in any economy - good or bad... I like Heineken beer! :) no surprise that owners are rich!
