November/December watchlist

Door
On the last day of October it is a good time to think about the coming months. What will my investing goals be up to the end of 2016?

I expect not to be able to invest as much as in October, with 3 buy totaling almost €800 becaus of a loan for our home we will be paying back in December. But a few 100 euros a months should be possible.

I think it is time to add at least one position to my portfolio. And I have a few companies on my watchlist.

My main focus will be on ABBVIE (ABBV) and Target(TGT). TGT is well priced at the moment with a P/E ratio of under 13 and a dividend yield of 3.3%. Also the payout ratio is around 42%, So the company has much room to keep their dividend raise streak going for a while. Theri latest dividend hike was a very nice 7%.

ABBVIE just announced another divididend raise of over 12%. However, their share price collapsed with 6% after they published their lasted figures. Their P/E ratio is just over 10 and dividend yield is now close to 4%. Before investing I should however look at their payout ratio. Comparing 2015 earnings per share with the announced annual dividend for 2017, the payout ratio is very high with 81%. 
So before investing in ABBV I shoud do some extra research. 

Looking at the dividend payout dates ABBV would be more interesting than TGT because ABBV is paying in my "off months". So an investment in ABBV will spread my dividend income better.

New position AD

Door
Yesterday I initiated a new postion. I bought 10 shares of Ahold Delhaize (AMS: AD). AD is company that was formed by the merger of Ahold from The Netherlands and Delhaize from Belgium. Ahold constists of their flagship Albert Heijn the market leader in supermarkets in The Neterlands, the largest liquor store chain Gall&Gall and the reason why Amazon doesn't have a big market share in Holland, bol.com . Most of these brands are also known in Belgium, but the main brand for Belgium is Delhaize. Aold Delhaize is also active in the United States with brands like: Foodlion Stop&Shop bfresh and many more.They are also active in Asia. I was eyeing for AD a little while but found them a bit expensive at a share price of €20 but since the announced takeover of Wholefoods by Amazon the share prices has taken a hit and closed at €16.04 yesterday. So it was now well within the price I was willing to pay for it. I bought 10 shares of AD at a share price of €16.30...

New position: WMT

Door
Today I initiated a new position. I bought 5 shares of Walmart (WMT) at $67.85 per share. Including transaction fees the cost basis is $67.95. Dividend yield is 2.9%. With this purchase my expected annual dividend income is increased with €8 to approximately €325. WMT has come down the last month. It is already climbing back up a little bit earlier this week. In the DGI community I don't see many purchases of WMT, but it is a strong company with a great divididend history. Also WMT pays dividend in the first month of every quarter, which are the off months for my portfolio at the moment. I now have initiated four new positions this year. That was one of the goals I set for 2017. The next months I won't be buying as much as the first 5 weeks of the year as we'll be paying off our mortgage more aggressively in the coming months.
