THERE YOU GO! Nice job, I picked up 6 shares of IBM today at $115. I like Red Hat and think it should bode well for Big Blue.

Abbv was on my watch list but I went risky with NWL — otherwise lots of buys and for you ! I stick to only 1 or 2 a month to keep commissions down.

Nice job, I think I have completed roughly the same amount of purchases this year as you did in October! Unfortunately I can’t buy small amounts at a time, because my trading fees with my current stock trader would be killing me (10-20 €/trade).
Also added some AbbVie last Thursday as it seems to be on sale.

Nice set of purchases D&H. I like the moves a lot and that is a lot of activity happening right there. IRM was a great pickup and I’m glad we got a very solid increase from the REIT. They already had a high yield, so that was just icing on the cake. But congrats on making some nice additions during the downturn. Keep it up!
