Last Friday
I increased like Warren Buffett my bets on oil and gas and bought my first
stake in Chevron. The corporate is the second biggest oil and gas company in
the United States by market capitalization of 237.4 billion.
Warren
Buffett bought recently a bigger stake of the larger competitor Exxon Mobil
which was in my view a very good decision. I personally don’t like commodity
stocks because one day all oil and gas is consumed and nobody knows how they
would like to make money in a world without oil and gas reserves. But they
generate huge amounts of free cash of which the most is also reinvested to
stimulate the current production level.
Oil stocks
have a high correlation to the economic activity, which is also expressed in the oil price. An economic shock like the Lehman
collapse resulted in a sharply oil price decline and earnings of the big producer followed.
I still hold a small stake of ConocoPhilips in the Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio who spun-off its
downstream activities pay now a dividend of 3.73 percent.

It looks
that the big energy stocks made tons of money by drilling and selling oil
reserves all over the world in the past decades. The rush will end one day, that’s sure but for the
time being, it’s still a question for the next decades.
However,
let’s come back to my recent trade. I purchased 10 shares of Chevron at $124.03
which resulted in $1,240 total investing costs. The new energy stock should
bring me around $40 per year in additional dividend income.
The current yield of chevron
is 3.23 percent, a value higher than Buffett’s choice but lower than my current
holding in ConocoPhillips. In the end, the stake will keep the current yield on cost above the magic 3 percent mark.

--------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------
Stockholdings
of the Dividend Yield Portfolio are up 11.49 on average. The total performance
amounts to 10.89 percent due to the high cash value over the year. The slow
purchase process was strategic but did not bring a better return because of the
rising stock market.
