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.

Recent Buy - 3M (MMM), Cardinal Health (CAH), and DOW Inc (DOW)

Well, it has been nearly 3 months since I last purchased shares of any stock.  With the recent political shenanigans surrounding trade and the Fed's anticipated actions the markets have seen some greater than usual volatility.  Today was no exception as such, seized the opportunity add to some existing position in addition to a purchase I made earlier this week which resulted in a new position to the portfolio.

Recent Buy - DOW Inc (DOW)

I've been cautiously watching the market over the past several weeks reading up on various stocks as there always seems to be at a least a handful appealing valuations hiding in plain sight.  One franchise that has caught my attention in recent weeks has been DOW Inc. (DOW).  This company was recently spun off from  DowDupont (DWDP) conglomerate that merged a few years back which disclosed the intent of eventually dividing the combined company into three separate publicly traded companies.  The material science division of DowDupont was the first to be spun-off, effective April 1, 2019, and is now known as the "new" DOW Inc. See below for details of the purchase along with some additional metrics and information obtained from the 2018 investor day.
