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,

Stocks I bought and sold this week

This week I sold 206 shares of AUY to collect my profits. I hold this stock for over a year and earned about 54% in earnings. 

I bought 3 stocks this week:

95 shares of F at $12.68
I already have shares of Ford in my portfolio but I like dividends and this is one of these stocks which I probably will just keep forever.

100 shares if RCII at $10.86
This one I will watch for a while and if it goes up, I will sell it.

13 shares of GILD at $79.48
same plan as RCII

I am still watching WFC, MGA and VOD but it will be August purchases unless something else will catch my attention. I will keep posting my watch list if I have enough updates.

Thanks for reading and please share your thoughts.

June Passive Income Progress

June just flew by like a one day due to the fact that kids were out of school, my daughter's graduation, my mom's visit, our trip to Florida and our rental house back to market for new tenants, etc...

Unfortunately I didn't sell or buy any stocks in June. I had too many planned expenses such as car maintenance repairs/tire changes, yearly home warranty/insurance payments, tickets to Florida, etc... But at least my dividends income was automatically reinvested, which is always good. 

I started tracking my passive income summer 2014

2014 Passive income
June           $261.00
July            $209.67
