British American Tobacco (BTI): Position Increase By 30 Percent

We’re going to year-end and I’ve some thoughts about the Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio in my mind.

I've planned to gain around $3k in estimated dividends by the end of 2013. This aim is nearly achieved but I also believe that the markets are more likely overpriced than the year before. 

Not enough, the sentiment is very anxious because of the FED tapering story and the high amount of margin traders on the floor.

What I believe is that it could make sense to keep the investment amounts calm. It will come better times to invest in order to make a good return over the long-run.

In order to increase current bets on losing positions, I've decided to increase shares of the British American Tobacco Stake by 30 percent.

I bought 7 additional shares and lifted the full stake to a total value of $3,070.20, the second biggest position in the whole portfolio behind IBM. The total purchase amount was only $721.

--------------------------------------

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.

--------------------------------------

Due to the new stock purchase and dividend hikes, the current estimated portfolio income rises to $2,892 per year. It will be hard to hit the $3,000 mark by the end of the year because I have only two trades in order to satisfy my own rule to buy only one stock each week.

The strategy is long-term orientated and loses ground in market with strong up-trend forces. Within the past year, the markets were very bullish and the portfolio performance suffered a little bit.

Stocks from the portfolio are up 7.98 percent while the full portfolio performance amounts to 8.32 percent.
