Buys and Sells for the Week 5/13/22

Dividend raises have slowed but the occasional one still trickles in like Phillips 66 (PSX) who raised their dividend 5.24% and Algonquin Power & Utilities (AQN) with a 5.98% raise.

Only one word to describe markets…DOWN. Here are my trades for the week:

1. Air Products (APD)   – increased position – Bought the dip, can you blame me. Grabbed 1 share @ $226.37 and a 2.78% yield.
2. Vanguard Long Term Bond Index (BLV) – sold position – This no longer fits my portfolio and part of my strategy to reallocate to targeted income sources. Sold 59 shares @ 79.70.
3. Vanguard Long Term Corp. Bond Index (VCLT) – sold position – This no longer fits my portfolio and part of my strategy to reallocate to targeted income sources. Sold 58 shares @ 81.50
4. iShares High Yield Bond (HYG) – sold position – This no longer fits my portfolio and part of my strategy to reallocate to targeted income sources. Sold 64 shares @ 77.00.
5. iShares Preferred and Income (PFF) – sold position – This no longer fits my portfolio and part of my strategy to reallocate to targeted income sources. Sold 357 shares @ 33.07.
