SOXX

The kids are asleep so I’m looking at stocks in the AM. A few months ago I discovered the ETrade website displays additional indices other than the Nasdaq and the S&P500.

I’ve been following the PHLX semiconductor index and waiting for a moment to buy in. The index itself is up 47% this past year compared to the other publicly compared indexes.

Investco has an etf that tracks that index. It’s called the Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (SOXQ) which has in a few years under its belt compared to the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) valued at 597.77 at the time of this post with 20+ years being listed.

As always need more money to buy in at such a high entry point. Time to get to work!

ADP – Automatic Data Processing, Inc.

I took a look at ADP today.

Automatic Data Processing, Inc. provides cloud-based human capital management solutions worldwide. It operates in two segments, Employer Services and Professional Employer Organization (PEO). – Seeking Alpha

The EPS seems to trend upward every year but entry point is a bit high for my blood at $235.28.

January Dividends

I don’t have any dividend stocks for a January distribution. I need to find something that fills that void in my portfolio.

I did a quick Google search and found this yahoo article. Looks like a step in the right direction.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/10-best-january-dividend-stocks-085441263.html

I looked through the top 10 and referenced Seeking Alpha for some information. I’m not sure if I’m ready to buy any, but let’s take a look at the financials at a glance.

WSM:

CAT: Catapilllar

PFE:

I don’t like to buy stocks that are on a downward trend. I like to see stability or growth in the stock chart. The dividends can be low but the stock has to have an upward trend over 5 years.

I like CAT but the buy in price seems a bit too high for me right now.

WSM seems interesting. Never would have thought cookware.

To be continued.
