Can't complain about that purchase! I'll be looking to continue building my UL position through Loyal3. A great company with a wide range of products and brands that won't be going away any time soon.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it better. They have great brands, several worth over $1 billion alone. I will continue to add on dips.
DeleteNice buy, I bought at $39.95 on the 2nd. I had a gut feeling I would go down further in next few days but bought it anyway. Should have listen to my gut... :(
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry too much , I think $40 is a fair price for a great company. The markets have been crazy this week. UL is already back over $40 just like that.
DeleteNice purchase! A great company that hopefully we will both become shareholders of in the future
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to having you on team Unilever. :-o
DeleteCaptain,
ReplyDeleteNice move. Really like UL at this valuation. I have 100 shares after loading up over the last few months, so that's probably it for a while. Glad to be a fellow shareholder. :)
Best regards.
100 shares sound nice ! I'm a little over 1/2 way there and looking to add on dips. I saw your post about your Unilever purchase recently and I have to admit it raised my desire to buy again. Keep up the great work DM.
DeleteUnder $40 for UL is a nice buy Captain. UL is on my watch list and I hope to be a fellow shareholder soon. Keep up the good work. AFFJ
ReplyDeleteAt the very least I think it's a fair price here at around $40. Thanks for stopping by and congrats on your VZ purchase, I've noticed a few other bloggers buying VZ as well.
DeleteGreat purchase, CD, Welcome to the UL owners club.
ReplyDeleteI'm already at 120 shares with a cost basis around $39.60 so I didn't want to pour any more capital in at these levels. If I had fewer shares I would have in a heartbeat, and did FRIP a couple shares around $39 on Tuesday.
Best,
DWC
Thanks for the warm welcome, I forgot to mention that I already owned some shares (now edited in) but this more than doubles my stake now. My average is cost basis just a tad lower than yours so I'm in good company.
DeleteLove the UL buy. It is one of my January stock considerations. Anything around $40 or below is a nice entry point. Good current yield too to be paid to wait. Happy to be a fellow shareholder with you and I may buy more before the month is over. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting tough to find value in the markets outside of big oil but there always seems to be a few options for us. I don't think you can go wrong with UL around $40. I'll be watching to see if you manage to pull the trigger this month.
DeleteGreat purchase. I would like to buy the UK share, to diversify in currency.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
CZD.
Hope to have you on the team soon. I'm think I'm stuck buying the ADR shares for the tax benefits here in the USA. I'm not sure how that works in your neck of the woods. Spain right ?

Captain Dividend,
ReplyDeleteUnilever certainly has been going around in the DGI community these past few weeks! Not without good reason, of course. Who doesn't like a well-run business with a wide range of extremely good performing products?
Glad to be a fellow shareholder,
NMW
Unilever seems to be a hot stock in the dividend community the past few months. Question, if you could only hold one position today would it be PG or UL?
ReplyDeleteIt's refreshing to read a review of a dessert that has the captain divid end recent-buy-unilever, great value, and delicious taste.
