Cisco Systems (CSCO): Position Increase By 44 Percent

I’ve increased my current stake in Cisco Systems last Friday by 44 percent: I purchased 40 additional shares at $21.28 or $856 total investment cost.

Cisco yields at 3.2 percent but has only a dividend payout ratio of 33.5 percent. The company generates over $10 billion free cash flow per year and announced recently to boost its current share buybackprogramm by $15 billion.

My stake is down 15.31 percent on average and marked the highest unrealized single trading loss within the 54 position strong portfolio. 

Due to the 44 percent position increase, the current trading loss shrinks to 11.27 percent but the position size and therefore the trading risk also rises by a small amount. The overall picture looks still good with a 2.5 percent Cisco portfolio exposure. It’s also the second biggest position behind IBM.

Cisco shares should now contribute around 66 bucks per year to the total dividend income of the portfolio. The full-year estimated dividend income rises to $2,826.

--------------------------------------
For readers who are new to the matter and my dividend growth philosophy: I funded a virtual portfolio with 100k on October 04, 2012 with the aim to build a passive income stream that doubles each five to ten years. I plan to purchase each week one stock holding until the money is fully invested. The total number of constituents is expected at 50 – 70 companies and the dividend income should be at least at $3,000 per year.
--------------------------------------

Stock holdings of the Passive Income Portfolio are up 10.21 percent on average. Due to the high cash values over the recent year, the full portfolio performance amounts to 10.09. 

The full portfolio performance is not as good as the values from major indices like the Dow Jones or S&P 500. Those performed twice as good as my portfolio. But my strategy is long-term and income orientated. I like to create an income vehicle that doubles its income each 10 years from alone.
