Hello everybody I hope your having a great day. I have finally made a purchase my last was in February so for the past few months I have sat back and collected my dividends. The stock that I purchased was Magna International (MG).
Magna is a leading global automotive supplier with 306 manufacturing operations and 92 product development, engineering and sales centres in 29 countries. Magna is the most diversified automotive supplier in the world, designs, develops and manufactures automotive systems, assemblies, modules and components, and engineers and assembles complete vehicles.

On Tuesday June 14, 2016 I purchased 26 shares @ $50.31 for a cost of $1308.06. This is my second investment in the company. My first purchase was on Jan 15, 2016 when I purchased 18 shares @ $48.50 for a cost of $873. With both purchases I now own 44 shares at an average cost of $49.57.
Dividend
Magna pays a dividend of US 0.25. The dividend has been raised for six consecutive years the latest increase occurred with the March payment the dividend increased to US 0.25 from 0.22. With this purchase my income increases US$13 (CDN $16.80).
So what do you think of my purchase? I would love to get your opinion.
Nice purchase, Matthew. Its a company that I really like and cant seem to figure why its so undervalued. You got in a good point here.

I'm long MGA. It's a great company and lately it seems it is landing a bunch of new contracts. Also, MGA will play a large roll in the new Tesla model. Great buy.

Thanks R2R I agree with you I'm not sure why it's undervalued. I started looking at it again when the price was $54 than I watched it come back to $50.

Thanks they have been landing some contracts lately. If I'm not mistaken Magna has $2k worth of parts on every electric car sold and I'm sure that is only going to increase.

Good buy, I'v taken a look at it once or twice before as well. I wonder if it is a bit more on the undervalued side in part iirc because the majority of voting shares are controlled by the Stronach family? Could also just be the relative softness in the auto industry/car sales in the past few years.
