Early March 2016 Purchases

With the stock sales and the dividend cuts from KMI and BBL, my forward annual dividends had significantly decreased by the end of February. In somewhat better news, the sales also left me with some free cash. Of that cash, roughly $3600 needs to be held in the account for...

New Purchase: More BHP Billiton

I last purchased BBL at 52.30/share back in November. I thought that price was a good entry point. After I recently got paid, I knew it was going to something that had dropped recently so that I could lower my cost basis. It was a slightly difficult choice between a...

One of his posts was talking about how cheap the diversified materials producer, BHP Billiton, had gotten. The price has declined from the low $70s in...
