Yesterday I posted my short list to pick from for my purchase.

Today I purchased DEO - Diageo plc.

 I noticed not so many people know about this stock.

I had this stock on my watch list for a while.

I like that at this moment this stock is trading close to lowest in 52 weeks. 

I also like price target summary (yahoo)

Price Target Summary

Mean Target:	125.14
Median Target:	123.78
High Target:	137.00
Low Target:	116.00

I believe people will drink alcohol good or bad times.

Even if dividend yield 2.48% not so high, in my opinion overall this is a great stock to own and looks like a good addition to my portfolio.

I plan to make more purchases next week, so I will keep posting.

Thanks for reading.

Stock pics for upcoming week 8/24 and last week purchase

I finally was able to purchase 30 shares of BNS last week. 

At this moment I am saving cash to help my mom with a purchase of her condo in Florida, so unfortunately I can't buy much stocks, but at least my dividends automatically reinvesting and building up my existing portfolio.

Although I might be able to sell some of my non dividends and maybe some dividends stocks, which already earned enough.

So many good stocks are trading at their lowest right now.

Since I am trying not to have more than 5% of each stock in my portfolio I have to skip some of good stocks for now because I already have enough of certain stocks or certain industry in my portfolio. 

This is why in "stock pics list" you only see certain stocks, which I don't have in my portfolio or want to increase holdings.

My favorites for next week:

PG, JNJ, DOV, DEO, XOM, GE, RCII, EMR

I am also watching WMT, CAT and BUD.

What's on your watch list for upcoming week?

Thanks for reading and please share your thoughts.

My Weekly Stock list (10/5)

This week I didn't buy or sell any stocks.

At this moment I don't have favorite stock, which I really want to buy, so I am still trying to decide between F, BBL, BCE and ARI. 

What do you think?

Here is my stock list for upcoming week. 

Stock	Name, description	price as 10/5	Yield	52 wks low	52 wks high	1 yr target price	Dividends paid	my opinion of holding
GSK	GlaxoSmithCline	$45.74	5.30%	$46.01	$56.73	$55.67	>15 years	long term
F	Ford Motor Co	$14.59	3.40%	$14.40	$18.12	$18.32	3 years, >15	potential long term
BCE	BCE inc	$42.86	5.30%	$40.60	$46.70	$50.10	>15 years	potential long term
BP	BP	$42.70	5.50%	$41.30	$53.48	$52.82	>15 years	potential long term
BBL	BHP Billiton plc	$52.91	4.70%	$52.44	$71.44	$71.69	12 years	potential long term
ESV	Ensco	$38.26	7.80%	$41.66	$62.25	$47.24	>15 years	potential long term
UFS	Domtar Corporation	$35.86	4.20%	$34.52	$57.88	$47.57	6 years	watch closely
NE	Noble Corp	$20.24	7.40%	$20.10	$35.54	$29.65	10 years	watch closely
ARI	Apollo Commercial REIT	$15.87	10.10%	$15.21	$17.18	$17.21	5 years	watch closely
SDRL	SeaDrill limited	$24.30	16.10%	$24.22	$47.29	$37.82	5 years	watch closely

I do not buy stocks at their highest prices. I might miss some good stocks but I prefer to sit and wait.* If I move stock to this list, it means there was a price drop or current price is somewhere in the middle.

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
