Loyal3 Buys, April 2016

Post Allergies Gremlin here again to talk about how I've been improving my portfolio via Loyal3.  This portfolio keeps growing and surprising with how quick it is snowballing.  Loyal3 has allowed me to build several positions from the ground up a few dollars at a time, not a thousand at a time that I would otherwise with a traditional brokerage.  I am not always getting the best deal, but I usually am getting a decent one.  Using cost averaging and knowing I have a long time frame allows me to invest perhaps with more freedom than people who desire instant returns.  The account also features those with higher growth potential (often), but lower upfront yield.

Company	Ticker	$ Invested	Shares Purchased	Annual Income Added
American Express	AXP	$120	2.0315	$2.36
Disney	DIS	$100	1.0342	$1.47
Dunkin Brands	DNKN	$50	1.0551	$1.27
VF Corp.	VFC	$70	1.1043	$1.63
YUM! Brands	YUM	$80	1.0433	$1.92
Totals		$425		$8.65

A total of $425 was put to work, a decrease of 13.2% from last month when I added $490.  It adds $8.65 of annual income to my 12-month forward outlook.  It is nice to increase my invested amount, it shows that some finances are starting to really turn a corner for us.  In terms of valuations, AXP is still probably the best value.

Going forward my intent is to keep up the push until July, then back off during summer time.  Part of this is due to vacation, part of it is due to the fact that my wife is a teacher.  So some cash needs to be saved.  Going forward there are still a few positions I'd like to start at Loyal3, but I am just waiting for the right time.
