Markets had no fear of Friday the 13th, guess Jason goes back to his watery grave empty handed. Inflation stayed steady, unemployment numbers met expectations, and positive earning reports kept rolling in as markets continue to bump up against all time highs.
I received a dividend surprise on Thursday as Organon (OGN) initiated a dividend program with their very first quarterly payment of $0.28 per share and an annual yield of 3.34% . Here are my trades for the week:
- Lockheed Martin (LMT) – increased position – As long as LMT stays below $370/share it has my attention. Grabbed 1 share @ $359.86 and 2 shares @ 357.84 with a 2.90% yield.
- Nationwide Risk-Managed Income ETF (NUSI) – new position – This is the last reinvestment from my PPL sale last week. Grabbed 69 share @ $28.74 and 7.4% yield.
