Five Buys In Two Days

Hello friends, today’s post is all about the stocks I bought last Friday and this past Monday. Last week we seen the markets take a turn downward and create some buying opportunities. Being in my mid 30’s, and being a dividend investor I wasn’t concerned about what the market was doing. I try to look to add to my positions in stocks or start a new invest. Last week I had the following motto.

For my time horizon being about 30 years before I retire I thought this was the perfect motto. In my opinion if you have a long time horizon you should buy during downturns never sell.

I made two purchases on Friday and three on Monday I will post them in the order that I purchased them.

Buy #1 (TFSA Account)

Yes I bought another bank lol. With this buy I now own five, I think this will be my last one but you never know. I purchased ScotiaBank for two reasons. The first being their operations in South America (Chile, Peru and Colombia) and Mexico. The second reason is the stock has been falling and I found it to be a buying opportunity.

The Purchase

I bought 27 shares @ $71.53 for a total cost of $1,941.26
