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.

I added DRI Darden Restaurant group back to my watch list. Their profit declined but they pay dividends since 1995.  I know how everybody in our area loves Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse. So if stock prices would go down more, I might consider buying this stock.

My Weekly Stock Watch List (6/15)

This week I finally was able to buy some stocks.

I bought more of ARCP@11.98 and also PG@79.83.

I wrote about ARCP here. I am kind of concerned that they are selling 76 shopping centers. Read article here. On the other side I believe that they might have a good plan for acquiring new properties.

Here is my watch list for upcoming week*.

Stock	Name, description	price as 5/31	Dividend Yield
ARI	Apollo Commercial Real Estate	$16.68	9.50%
SBSI	Southside Bank	$27.33	3.30%

At this moment on my most wanted list is ARI because I really like dividend yield. This stock looks pretty safe to me but I am waiting to see if the price will go down a little.

I am happy that I finally was able to buy PG.

Read my previous post about ARI and PG last week here. ROST and SBSI here.

I probably will not be able to buy any stocks following week because I spent my play money on a new dishwasher, grill and also had to prepay homeowner and home warranty insurance. But I might sell some of my non dividends stocks and buy dividends stocks. I will keep you updated.
