Project: Dividend Stocks for Teenager July Dividends update

I wrote how we started Dividend Stocks portfolio for my daughter and keep track of our progress here.

We didn't purchase any new stocks this month. Although she has enough money to invest in her bank account due to her low spendings (and me paying most of her bills right now :)). Next month she will need to purchase books for school.

August 7 is going to be one year since we purchased her first 7 stocks. At least 3 of them (T, JNJ and SE) earned 25% or close to 25%. I am thinking I might sell them and rebalance her portfolio. By doing this we will collect earnings and we can add an extra stock to her portfolio. I think she wants to do it. But we will see how market will act in next week.

Overall portfolio gain so far is +12.98%, the only stock which is lacking is still LHO.

July Dividends was only LHO $19.46

Here is her dividends month by month:

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.
