What companies did I purchase over the past week: October 5, 2013 Edition

The past week was busy for me, as I made purchases for both my Roth IRA and taxable accounts. I purchased British Petroleum (BP) in the taxable and Roth IRA accounts. I also bought some IBM (IBM) and Altria (MO) in my Roth. This is in addition to the investment in Kinder Morgan from last week in the Roth. I try to tweet about those investments, and then review them on the site. After I make a few more investments in the Roth, I would likely post an article within the next one - two weeks. After I finish up making my Roth contributions in November however, I might start accumulating cash for my 2013 SEP IRA contribution. Therefore, unless the Government Shutdown creates 10 - 20 % drops in the stock market, I might not be making any sizeable purchases until sometime in 2014.

Next, I have highlighted a few interesting articles from the archives, which I find to be relevant today. The first few articles have been written and posted on this site, while the last five have been selected from other authors. I tend to post anywhere between three to four articles to my site every week. I usually try to write at least one or two articles that contain timeless information concerning dividend investing. This could include information about my strategy, or other pieces of information, which could be useful to dividend investors.

Below, I have highlighted a few articles posted on this site, which many readers have found interesting:

• Dividend Investing – Science versus Intuition
• Should I buy dividend stocks now, or accumulate cash waiting for lower prices?
• The importance of pricing and valuation in dividend investing
• Dividend Investors Should Ignore Price Fluctuations.

I read a lot about companies, and also read a lot of interesting articles from all over the web. A few that I really enjoyed in the past week include:

• Why We Are Dividend Growth Investors
• The ABC's of Dividend Investing
• Does Valuation Matter?
• Dealing With Investing Indecision
• The 10 Stealth Economic Trends That Rule the World Today

Thank you for reading Dividend Growth Investor site. As you can see, the best way to learn about my recent investments is to follow me on Twitter. This is because I might not post about them on my site for several days. If you can think of anything else I could cover, please do not hesitate to comment below.
