My weekly stock list (9/6)

This week I bought shares of RIG and ESV. 

It looks like many of offshore drilling companies are trading at their 
lowest this week.

Here is my list for upcoming week. I added some extra columns

Stock	Name, description	price as 9/6	Yield	52 wks low	52 wks high	1 yr target price	my opinion of holding
NE	Noble Corp	$26.60	5.60%	$25.06	$35.54	$31.38	watch very close, decide later to sell or keep
MAT	Mattel (toys - barbie, fisher price, baby gear, etc)	$35.10	4.30%	$34.30	$47.94	$38.00	long term
MCD	Mcdonalds	$93.07	3.40%	$92.22	$103.78	$101.39	long term
RIG	Transocean ltd	$37.60	7.60%	$37.33	$55.74	$37.63	watch very close, decide later to sell or keep
PCL	Plum Creek Timber	$41.18	4.30%	$40.24	$50.08	$44.22	potential long term
ESV	Ensco	$47.46	5.90%	$46.43	$62.25	$50.96	maybe potential long term
EC	Ecopetrol SA	$34.84	6.80%	32.88	49.45	36.96	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 (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%

My Weekly Stock List (8/24)

I spent my last week in Samara, Russia. You can see Volga river on my picture. This is an old Russian town. It was my first time there and it was an interesting experience. But I am so glad to be back home! Everything feels perfect when I am at home! 


While I was in Russia, there was 9 hours difference, so the stock market was open by the time I was back to my hotel room. 

This week I sold one of my non dividend stocks - BJRI. I bought more shares of MCD and GSK and also added EC to my portfolio. 

Here is my list for upcoming week. It did not change much since last week.

Stock	Name, description	price as 8/23	Dividend Yield
GSK	GlaxoSmithCline	$47.68	4.70%
MAT	Mattel (toys - barbie, fisher price, baby gear, etc)	$34.99	4.30%
MCD	McDonalds	$94.45	3.40%
ESV	Ensco	$50.01	5.90%
EC	Ecopetrol SA	$33.13	6.80%

My Weekly Stock List (7/26)

This week I did not sell any stocks but I bought shares of MCD@95.46. So I told my daughter that now I own a small piece of McDonald's and every time she or her brother buy food there I actually am getting some money back. :)


This picture was made in Russian McDonalds in 2000. :)




Here is my list for upcoming week:

Stock	Name, description	price as 7/26	Dividend Yield
GSK	GlaxoSmithCline	$48.60	4.70%
DRI	Darden Restaurant group	$44.66	4.40%
MAT	Mattel (toys - barbie, fisher price, baby gear, etc)	$35.30	3.90%
MCD	McDonalds	$95.72	3.20%
RCII	Rent-a-Center inc	$24.13	3.20%
WFM	Whole Food Market	$36.88	1.20%
ROST	Ross Stores	$63.46	1.20%

As you can see I added a new stock to my current watch list.

GSK - GlaxoSmithCline is trading at 52 weeks low due to not good earning report and I guess news about bribery in Syria. I have this stock on my main watch list for a while but finally price went down. 

We all know this drug manufacturing company, which manufacture most of vaccines, some specific prescription drugs as well as over counter medicine and everyday products like Aquafresh, Sensodyne, Tums... Plus they are in process of Research and Development on many new drugs and vaccines.

4.7% Dividend Yield paid for more than 20 years sounds great to me.

PE 13.81, 1 Year Target price is $58. 

Read my post about ROST - ROSS Dress for Less stores - here, 

DRI - Darden Restaurant group, RCII - Rent-a-Center  here, 

MAT - Mattel - here

By the way if you are a big Harley Davidson (HOG) fan, check out their stock. It is trading in the middle of 52 weeks low/high. But their dividends only 1.5%, although projected 1 year Target price have room to grow.

My Weekly Stock List (7/20)

I did not buy or sell any stocks this week.

It is reporting time for many companies, so we might see more stocks selling at bargain price.

if you visit my blog regularly, you might notice that my Weekly stock list is longer this week.

Stock	Name, description	price as 7/19	Dividend Yield
CAG	ConAgra Foods inc	$30.67	3.10%
ARI	Apollo Commercial Real Estate	$16.55	9.50%
MAT	Mattel (toys - barbie, fisher price, baby gear, etc)	$36.20	3.90%
ROST	Ross Stores	$63.31	1.20%
DRI	Darden Restaurant group	$44.38	4.40%
MCD	Mcdonalds	$98.99	3.20%
RCII	Rent-a-Center inc	$24.77	3.20%
WHR	Whirlpool corp	$139.50	2.20%
CPB	Campbell Soup	$43.95	2.70%
WFM	Whole Food Market	$37.10	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 noticed that MCD(Mcdonald's) shares price went down this week. This is one of the stocks I really want to have in my portfolio. Even if I am a healthy freak, I still like Mcdonalds. I believe they do have some "healthy" fast food options. My favorites are yogurt with fruit for breakfast, salad with grilled chicken or snack wrap for lunch or dinner.

ROST Ross Stores was trading at their lowest this week $91.90 on Thursday.
Read my post about ARI  here, ROST here.

I wrote about DRI - Darden Restaurant group, RCII - Rent-a-Center  here, WHR -Whirlpool here, CAG - Conagra food here

I already have shares of WFM - Whole Food Market which I purchased in  May. The stock is trading at lowest now and if you believe in organic food market, you might consider this stock as a small addition to your portfolio.

I have shares of MAT - Mattel, which I purchased at their previous not good report. I added this stock back to my watch list because this stock is trading close to 52 lows. Everybody is saying "bye bye Barbie' but MAT - Mattel is not only Barbie. They also sell Fisher price toys, baby gear - seats, chairs, swings, nursery furniture, Polly Pocket, Hot Wheels, My American Girl, some Disney toys, etc. If you have a child, you know that we always will buy toys as well as Fisher price baby gear.
PE: 14.75, Dividends Yield 3.9%, paying dividends every year since 1990.
I believe this stock is a great addition to anyone portfolio.

I added CPB - Campbell Soup to my watch list. The dividend yield 2.7% is a little low for me but if the price of stock will keep going down, I might consider to purchase this stock. As I mentioned before I don't like to buy stocks when they are trading over 1 year target price. 1 year target price for CPB now is $41.27. PE 26.54.
