My Weekly Stock list (9/21)

This week I sold IGT (International Game Technology) and bought more MAT and also a small position of NE. For upcoming week I am trying to decide between AFL and BBL purchase as a long term and I might add a little more of offshore drilling companies stocks to my portfolio. 

Here is my list for upcoming week.

Stock	Name, description	price as 9/21	Yield	52 wks low	52 wks high	1 yr target price	my opinion of holding
MAT	Mattel (toys - barbie, fisher price, baby gear, etc)	$33.87	4.30%	$33.69	$47.94	$37.75	long term
AFL	Aflac	$58.40	2.50%	$58.10	$67.62	$68.63	long term
GSK	GlaxoSmithCline	$47.38	5.30%	$46.01	$56.73	$55.67	long term

SDRL	SeaDrill limited	$28.26	11.10%	$27.90	$47.29	$38.33	watch very close, decide later to sell or keep

* 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... :)

My Weekly Stock list (9/13)

This week offshore drilling companies are struggling even more after sanctions for my Motherland Russia.  My hope is that oil industry will clean out all this mess very soon because Gazprom, Rosneft, Lukoil and all other Russian companies are huge customers not just for offshore drilling companies but for many oil and gas companies all around the world. I don't like wars and politics but as an investor, I have to watch it closely, even it doesn't make any sense to me. When I grew up in Russia, it was a big country with many republics, then republics became independent countries. It looks to me as it would be the same as if each of USA states would become an independent country and then there would be a war between two states? It is very sad. But I am a girl and I don't understand wars at all.

But back to stock market.

This week I sold my remaining shares of WIN and bought shares of SDRL, just a little bit.

Below is my list for upcoming week. This week I added AFL (Aflac), thanks to Divhut for pointing that Aflac is trading close to their lowest. 

Also I put back ARCP and two other REIT companies SNH and SIR, which acquired part of ARCP properties last week. Here is an article about these transactions, if you didn't hear about this. 

Stock	Name, description	price as 9/13	Yield	52 wks low	52 wks high	1 yr target price	my opinion of holding
VZ	Verizon Communications	$48.40	4.20%	$45.45	$53.66	$54.50	long term
MAT	Mattel (toys - barbie, fisher price, baby gear, etc)	$34.34	4.30%	$34.25	$47.94	$37.75	long term
MCD	Macdonalds	$93.34	3.40%	$90.53	$103.78	$98.93	long term
AFL	Aflac	$59.79	2.50%	$58.50	$67.62	$68.63	long term

Will this way speed up your earnings?

I keep lots of my stocks in IRA, IRA Roth and SEP accounts.

After observing stock market for a while, I have this idea of speeding up my earnings.

Usually I try to spend at least $1,500 per purchase on my stocks. Or if I am not sure in stock or short on money, I might spend less.

My point is - most stocks keep fluctuating in pricing. 52 weeks high/low pricing is a great example.
I try to buy my stocks on bad news at their lowest or close to lowest price. Then usually after some period of time stock's price will come back to original price or even higher. Then company might have another bad report and price will fall again. If I keep stock without selling I will just earn my dividends and see how my stock's prices jump back and forth - feeling happy on good earnings reports and a little worried on bad days.

But what if I pick certain amount as a point for sale and I will try to do it every week or every other week for different stock? Lets say I pick $300 or $400. So if any of my stocks earn this amount, I sell it. Then I will buy a different stock, which is on sale. By following this strategy, I can earn between $600 and $1600 extra money per month and reinvest it. I could add between $7,200 and $19,200 to my investment portfolio without even doing much extra. I already watch market every day. Even if I do it just once a month, I still can earn an extra $3600 - $4800 on top of my dividends earning.

What do you think about this strategy?

I think I will try to follow this way and I will update you in a while.

My Weekly stock list (8/29)

This week I got bored with my regular list of stocks because there was not much changes and I decided to research and add more stocks to my list.

I updated My Dividend Stock List with all new stocks I added to my watch list. It doesn't mean I plan to buy all of them but if their prices drop one day, I might consider to buy. I added stocks, which have positive numbers and pay more than 4% in dividends.

I did not buy or sell any stocks this week. 

Here is my list for upcoming week.

Stock	Name, description	price as 8/29	Yield
NE	Noble Corp	$28.46	5.60%
MAT	Mattel (toys - barbie, fisher price, baby gear, etc)	$34.49	4.30%
MCD	Mcdonalds	$93.72	3.40%
RIG	Transocean ltd	$38.65	7.60%
PCL	Plum Creek Timber	$40.63	4.30%
ESV	Ensco	$50.48	5.90%

* 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.
