Stocks I bought today 8/26/2016

It's almost end of the month and I finally made some purchases for this month.
Today I bought

36 shares of VOD at $30.87

32 shares of KR at $32.57

If you read my blog you know I was planning to buy VOD - Vodafone for a while because it's trading low and has good dividends (4.93%).

Kroger was kind of last minute purchase. I noticed that this stock is trading low and this is one of my favorite stores to shop for grocery besides Aldi. It doesn't pay much dividends (1.49%), but I like this company.

Thanks for reading,

  1. I don't know much about Kroger and we don't have any stores near by. I have been looking at VOD for a while now. That yield is enticing for sure. Thanks for the update!

    1. Kroger is a very popular store in Texas. They have lots of organic food and good prices. It can operate under different name in your state. VOD was on my list for a while but I finally decided to jump in. Thanks for stopping by and best wishes

  2. I have started building a position in KR as well. I think they were ahead of the game as far as integrating the healthier choices and organics which helped pull market share from companies like Whole Foods. Besides we all know that the organics have better margins. As long as the price stays low I will continue to add and dollar cost average my way into a nice position. Thanks for sharing!

  3. We were Kroger customers more than 20 years ago living in Ohio!

    Interesting buys and looks like good opportunities here. Personally, I don't like ADRs so much because of the variability of the dividends. But its hard to argue against a 5% yielder!

    Happy investing!

  4. VERY popular stock among DGI investors lately! There is certainly a nice risk/reward ratio here. We like the long-term prospect of FLO...it's even better when you can collection a decent dividend while you wait for the stock price to recover. We haven't initiated a buy yet but FLO is high on our watch list.

    Thanks for sharing, Best wishes and continued success on your personal finance journey! AFFJ

    1. I am watching FLO as well but I am concerned about analyst predictions. I like to buy stocks when they are closest to lowest... and some analysts think that FLO can go all the day down to $4.00 Thanks for stopping by and share your opinion. Best wishes

  6. Nice buy, I have VOD myself and got a pretty good dividend from them for august. I haven't look into KR yet but I did look into WFM before. WFM dividend yield is a bit to low for me. I might look into KR. Keep up the good work.
