Latest Buy: KO



The stock market is having a nice pullback! Coca-Cola hit a 3% dividend yield, I couldn't pass that up. Better yet, this month Coca-Cola will announce a dividend raise, just like it did the last 51 years.

Today's buy:

  • 40 Shares KO @ $37.31

This purchase will add $44.80 to my yearly income. This is based on the $0.28 dividend KO pays every quarter, but like I said, they will announce a raise very soon. My total position in Coca-Cola is now 76 shares.

I purchased some Coca-Cola stock earlier in december 2013, where I talked a bit about the company.

Coca-Cola is the first stock that comes to mind when someone asks me what a good dividend growth stock is. It is a must have for every dividend growth investor in my opinion.

I found a fun article a while back. Charlie munger is explaining Coca-cola's strategy how to become a 2 Trillion dollar company in 150 years. A very good read.
