Stock Purchase: CAT





Today I added some more shares to my CAT position.

  • CAT:  20 shares @ $77.96 --- Yield  3.95%

Total capital invested is $1566.16 and will add $61.60 to my yearly dividends. It's hard to believe the yield for CAT has reached 4%. Hopefully it stays in the $70s or lower for a while longer so I can keep building my position.

    1. Div Son,

      It looks like things are really getting interesting. Unexpected expenses are depleting my capital this month so I hope things stay low for a bit longer.

  4. Wow did CAT get dozed today! I initiated a new position in it, so hopefully we see that dead CAT bouncing next week. Also initiated a new position in TROW. Great entry prices...

  6. Great minds. I added 53 more shares today @$76.70. Now have nice round 600 shares that I can do covered calls with. Also added 119 shares to DOW and have 1200 shares to do 12 covered call contracts with.

      Great job! It looks like CAT is heading for the low 70s pretty quickly!

  7. Nice pick up with CAT. Some high quality industrial names have been selling cheaper as of late. EMR and MMM and DOV also come to mind. Looks like I might start a position for baby DivHut in CAT. I'm still on the Canadian banks kick but may venture out into some industrial names. Thanks for sharing.

  8. I'm thinking about CAT - it keeps cropping up as a good buy, but I'm not invested in it yet. http://www.dividendrocket.com
