The small
sell-off on the market hit me a bit with my assets and I would like to increase
two positions now for a very small amount.
First, I purchased
Cisco Systems Shares at $23.55. I bought 40 shares which resulted in a total
buying amount of $942 dollar. The stake war down around 10 percent and is now
accounted with a book loss of 6.28 percent. I believe that the company is still
healthy and should benefit from the growing web traffic.
The second purchase
was the discount retailer Target. The position was down 11.74 percent and I decided
to raise the stake by 60 percent. I bought 12 shares at $63.29. The total
purchase amount was around $759. The average position is now down 7.89 percent.

I think
both companies are great dividend growth stocks with a solid dividend in a low
interest environment. The yield is around 2.7/2.8 percent and has additional
potential to grow. Let’s look how they will develop in the future.
--------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------
The full
year estimated dividend income is now at $2,374. With still $32,000 in cash on
the account, it’s still possible to reach my goal of $3,000 dividend income by
the end of this year.
 |
| Portfolio Performance (Click to enlarge) |
The portfolio
holdings are up 5.33 percent since the date of funding. Due to the high cash
amount and slow purchasing process, the full portfolio is only up 4.59 percent,
a clear underperformance to the market. My strategy should perform better on
rainy days, days we haven’t had during the past years. However, the strategy is
not to make fast money on the market. I want to show you how you can build a
portfolio with solid dividend growth stocks by eliminating the big risks and
getting solid dividend cash payments per year. It’s a long-term strategy.
Here is the income perspective of the portfolio
