Recent buy: V, KO, T, ABT
Today I bought the following. Around $3804 deployed.

Recent buy: O, MO, GD
Today the S&P500 fell around 8% when I added some buys. This was another large leg down, so I executed a few buy orders.
In previous days, I was adding more into companies with lower yields but higher long term growth potential. Today I want to add more to higher yielding companies to increase my income.
MO was down over 8%, it now yields a whopping 9%, and I find this dividend to be safe.
I added $556
O was down over 26%. Ironically they increased their dividend today. O now yields 6.8%, basically double a few days ago. The fall has been unprecendented.
I added $736
GD was down over 9%. It now yields around 3.7%, a lot for a company that usually yields in the low 2%.
I added $243
Both MO and GD are now in single digit P/E territory so they are very cheap.
My cash sits at around $25,191.
The amount of dividends that one can now receive for each dollar deployed is substantially more than it was a few weeks ago. The goal is to find companies that can maintain that dividend with good payout ratios and good financials to weather out the Coronavirus situation.

Recent buy: ADP and MSFT
The S&P500 fell around 9% today. I bought towards the latter 1-2 hours of the day on Monday trading.
Previously on last Friday the S&P rose around 10%, and the previous Thursday it fell around 10%. So we have had a lot of huge see saw movements in the S&P that has not been seen before in a long time. This level of volatility offers good bargains over time.
In times like now, it is best to avoid timing and just dollar cost average into the market. Have a predefined list of what stocks to buy and then buy the ones that move progressively lower and the yields move up.
Today I invested around $2167. Not a lot but over the days it will add up. I still have around $20K left in my cash reserve that need to be spent.

Recent buy: V
The S&P fell around 7% today.
I picked up some shares of Visa. Not a lot, just buying on the way down.
Added 4 shares for around $700 USD.
Visa is around 18% off from its highs.

Large price declines are times of great opportunity. I still have around $21,000 in cash with more on the way. As long as I have my job I will keep pouring it into the stock market as it goes lower!
In times of uncertainty, I always look for companies with the strongest financial strength and also consistently increasing earnings and sales (bottom line and top line). Companies I am eyeing right now include: V, MSFT, ADP. I have SYK and ABT also, although their financials are not as strong as the other 3, but still good. I also have GOOGL on the list even though they don't pay a dividend.
Note that my focus now is to acquire more companies that have a growth focus so the dividend yield is not as high on these types of companies.
