Recent Buys – LMT and AMGN

Fall is upon us and it is time to most my recent buys – LMT and AMGN. These are two new stocks added to my portfolio. After months of saving and with the recent market dip, I decided to pull the trigger and purchase some new stocks. Other then that, temperatures have started cooling off and it has been quite mild outside. Since I walk to work (and just about everywhere else) for 2.3 miles each way, it is nice to not be sweating in the hot summer heat. The leaves will start to change color soon and it should make for some beautiful sites while hiking this Fall.  But without further ado, here are my recent stock purchases!

Earlier this week I bought 9 shares of Lockheed Martin (LMT). As a result, LMT became the 46th stock in my portfolio. This purchase added $93.60 to my forward annual dividend income. In addition, I also bought 9 shares of Amgen Inc (AMGN). Thus, AMGN became the 47th stock in my portfolio. This purchase added $63.36 to my forward yearly dividend income.

All in all, these stock purchases added a total of $156.96 in dividend income to my portfolio (not including the recent LMT dividend increase). Not too bad at all. Thus concludes my recent buys – LMT and AMGN. Keeping this short, quick, and to the point. We are just about in the final quarter of the year and have to make this one count.

As of this post, my portfolio is set to generate $11,968 in dividend income over the next 12 months. Wait what?! Do you guys see that! I am $32 away from achieving the $12K dividend milestone! Wow, oh wow! This will likely happen within the next 4 weeks. I am really excited about hitting this mark! This is it! I am sliding into home plate as I continue down the path to achieving my goals and financial independence! I continue to build my dividend dynasty!

So, what do you think of my recent stock buys? Do you own LMT or AMGN? Also, are there any milestones you hope to cross in the final quarter of the year? Let me know in the comments below!
