Robinhood Buys 5/26/2022

 

Day late, dollars shot

Vanguard US REIT Fund (VNQ): $3

Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD): $3

Target (TGT): $3

PepsiCo (PEP): $3

Starbucks (SBUX): $3

Intel (INTC): $3

Hormel (HRL): $3

Paychex (PAYX): $3

Vanguard Total Market ETF (VTI): $3

Main Street Capital (MAIN): $3

VNQ has crossed the full share threshold, so if you're sick of seeing that as the opening buy, it'll be taking a break until the snowbirds (and thus, the brackets, return.)  QYLD isn't that far off, and MAIN should cross fairly quickly as well.  I'm pretty satisfied with the progress on that goal and I'm not even that far into things yet. Come October and updating this wing of the portfolio should be substantially breezier.  

Also, pretty sure I averaged down on just about all of these positions, so that was a neat little perk.

Now this is a power play

Emerson Electric (EMR): $2

ConEd (ED): $2

Vanguard Utilities ETF (VPU): $2

Chevron (CVX):  $2

Exxon Mobil (XOM): $2

Sprague Resources (SRLP): $2

SJW Group (SJW): $2

NextEra Energy (NEE): $2

Vanguard US REIT Fund (VNQ): $2.41

McDonald's (MCD): $2

Get it? "Power play"? Because most of these are energy stocks........It's a pun.

SJW is water, and not electric, but it is still a utility, so I figured it was close enough.

Adding a new position (NEE) given my previously stated goal to create more full-share positions in this wing of my portfolio may seem counter-intuitive, but it did fit the theme and it was going to be added to the roster eventually anyway.

I also ended up with some loose change again (a result of the AT&T spinoff from a few weeks back,) so it went to VNQ as that one is annoyingly close to crossing that full share threshold. Still haven't gotten there yet.  Next week's buy will carry me over, though, so that will open up a slot for other positions to grow.

Normally, Wednesday is my stock buy day, but I've got things to do, so I'm doing it a day early.  I haven't hit the pizza stocks in a while, so they take center stage.  I do love pizza.  Don't miss making it, but I still enjoy eating it.

Vanguard US REIT Fund (VNQ): $3

SJW Group (SJW): $3

Vanguard Total Market ETF (VTI): $3

Lumen Technologies (LUMN): $3

Kinder Morgan (KMI): $3

Exxon Mobil (XOM): $3

The brackets are put on hold, which means that we'll be having weekly wild card rounds for the next few months.  When "season" kicks back in, the rotation will come back as it has before.  My main goal for the next few months is to try and create as many full share positions as possible.  This is because when you cross that threshold on Robinhood, the number of digits past the decimal drops from six to two.  It is going to make updating the portfolio soooooo much easier.  I'm obviously hitting the cheaper stocks so that they can get knocked out relatively quickly, but hitting the pricier ones is also going to be necessary.  You'll probably be seeing those names pop up more frequently as I chip away at those gaps, but it will still achieve the desired result.
