Two more dividend raises this week, IBM (IBM) gave a paltry 0.6% raise and Discover Financial (DFS) gave me an unplanned 20% raise.
Markets once again drastically sell off before a Friday close. Maybe I should hold all my buys until the last 15 minutes of trading on a Friday lol! Here are my trades for the week:
- Air Products Inc (APD) – increased position – Not the bargain it was a couple months ago but still reasonably priced. Grabbed 1 share @ $238.48 and a 2.72% yield.
- Leggett and Platt (LEG) – increased position – .Made my monthly ROTH IRA contribution and this made a nice contribution. Grabbed 15 shares @ 36.32 and a 4.63% yield.
- Independent Bank Corp (IBCP) – increased position – Used the last of my cash to close out April buys. Grabbed 4 shares @ $20.05 and a 4.39% yield.
Simple Dividend Growth 
Nice!
I put some money in the semi conductor business with 1 share of ASML and 6 shares of BESI.
Monday I receive my bonus, so I’ll probably expand my positions. TROW and SWK dropped nicely as well.

Congratulations on the bonus, I am sure it is well deserved!
ASML is just such a solid buy and so critical for the semi conductor business. I’m a little cautious with TROW but all the tooling stocks look good; SWK, SNA, HSQVY an ITW.
