My Weekly Stock Watch List (5/31)

This week I did not purchase any stocks. I was planning to purchase more Target stocks on Friday but price went up and I decided to wait until next week.

Here is my watch list for upcoming week*.

Stock	Name, description	price as 5/31	Dividend Yeild
ARI	Apollo Commercial Real Estate	$16.75	9.60%
SBSI	Southside Bank	$25.82	3.30%
PG	Procter & Gamble	$80.79	3.20%
PFE	Pfizer	$29.63	3.50%
TGT	Target	$56.76	3.00%
ESV	Ensco	$52.66	6.00%
ROST	Ross Stores	$68.45	1.20%

* 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... :)

I added ARI (Apollo Commercial Real Estate) to my watch list. It's a pretty young REIT company (on a stock market since 2009). Their dividends yield is high 9.60%. Their prices on shares stay very consistent through these 5 years. I read through their 2013 Annual Report and I like their financial strategies and all numbers on financial statements look pretty healthy to me. Since they " primary originate, invest in, acquire and manage senior performing commercial real estate mortgage loans" it looks to me as a safe investment, since all loans secured by real estate. 

I added PG (Procter&Gamble) to my weekly watch list because their stock price is somewhere in the middle between 52 lows and highs. I wanted to purchase this stock for a while. I guess we all know this brand and in my opinion this is one of these stocks, which is always good to have in your portfolio. So I want to keep this stock on my close watch stock list.
