Stock I bought today June 20 2017

Today I bought 27 share of FDP (Fresh Del Monte) at $49.75 per share. This is kind of not very dividend oriented purchase. The stock only earns 1.22% in dividends but I like the company. I am very into healthy eating and buying shares of company which is one of the biggest providers of fruit around the world means a lot to me. Plus this stock is trading close to the 52 weeks lowest.

At this moment on my watch list GIS, KR, T and VZ

Anyone else is thinking to sell some of MCD stocks in near future?

April 2017 Dividends and Passive Income Progress

Here is my April update.

I am being very inactive this year because of too much stuff going on.

I was helping my mom with her new condo.
We purchased my mom's condo end of March and it looks like just in one month we already "earned" $10K because this month tax value of her property increased by $10K. So nice!

I am getting close with finishing my studying for real estate licence.

Back to stock market update.
