Bought: CL, CLX, GIS, MDT, UL

Things have been crazy hectic recently as we just welcomed a new child into the family.  With the first child, everything's all new so the challenge is learning everything for the first time.  With the second child, the challenge is learning how to juggle two children simultaneously while being sleep deprived.  It's definitely been a blessing having another child; I'm just extremely tired and running on a few hours of sleep every day.

In any case, I've made some recent purchases for the month of November which I'll quickly summarize below:
  • I purchased 17 shares of Colgate-Palmolive Company (CL) at $67.4499 per share in my taxable brokerage account.  This is a dividend yield of 2.31%, adding $26.52 to my taxable dividend income.
  • I purchased 10 shares of The Clorox Company (CLX) at $112.75 per share in my taxable brokerage account.  This is a dividend yield of 2.84%, adding $32.00 to my taxable dividend income.
  • I purchased 18 shares of General Mills, Inc. (GIS) at $61.35 per share in my spouse's Roth IRA account.  This is a dividend yield of 3.13%, adding $34.56 to my non-taxable dividend income.
  • I purchased 14 shares of Medtronic plc (MDT) at $74.20 per share in my spouse's Roth IRA account.  This is a dividend yield of 2.32%, adding $24.08 to my non-taxable dividend income.
  • I purchased 28 shares of Unilever PLC (UL) at $38.9999 per share in my spouse's Roth IRA account.  This is a dividend yield of 3.64%, adding $39.76 to my non-taxable dividend income.
After these purchases, my taxable dividend income will increase by $58.52, and my non-taxable dividend income will increase by $98.40.

What do you think of my recent stock purchases?  Do you own any of the same companies?

  1. Congrats with your new baby. I remember the early days of bringing a new child home. Hearing the cries and feedings every couple hours or so. Ahhh... good memories. Of course, I'm still dealing with a 20 month old these days. I like your buys as I hold every name except MDT. Looks like you picked up some good current yield from very solid companies. Love reading about the buys! Thanks for sharing.
