Recent Buy - DOW Inc (DOW), Delta (DAL), and 3M Co (MMM)

It feels like it has been forever since I made my last purchase and cash has been piling up in the meantime.  When it comes to investing, we all know that patience is most certainly a virtue one needs to exhibit on a regular basis, whether it comes to waiting for reasonable valuation to present itself or simply buying and holding a basket of investments in an attempt to delay the gratification of what a sum of dollars can buy today and instead investing that sum of money in a security and then waiting for it to exponentially grow into a greater sum of dollars over a decade or two in sum cases much longer.  Well, with the ongoing global coronavirus scare and the number of confirmed cases growing on a daily basis, Mr. Market has begun to panic and as a result has agreed to sell me some shares at much more reasonable valuations than what he was willing to do just a few months ago.  In response to Mr. Market's panic, I've put $7,500 in capital to work in the past month with the average yield of 4.0% for an additional $297 in annual dividend income. See below for the details on the latest transactions in recent weeks.
