Trade - Buy

I added more shares to my position to International Business Machines Corp. (IBM)

7 shares @ $161.27 on 11-07-2014

This will increase my forward 12-months dividend by $7.70 to a total of $2,069.56

I updated my Portfolio to reflect the change.

Sorry for taking so long on posting this new buy.


Here we see that based on fast graphs that IBM is very under value.

5 year estimated return.

We see that IBM PE is lower then its own 5 year average. Also its forward PE is lower then its current PE.

Here we see that the dividend yield is at its highest point in the past 5 year.

Again sorry for the delayed post.Thanks for reading.
