In March I bought 55 shares of HRB - H&R Block 30 shares of WFC - Wells Fargo

Okay, we all have stocks which are not doing well and stocks which are doing very well. As I wrote before, for me it's always very hard to pull this trigger and sell my winner... I know that lots of dividend stock investors think that we need to buy and keep stocks forever. But observing my dividends stocks coming through ups and downs I still feel like I do need to sell my winners. Like for example. I remember how just not long time ago my shares of KMI were $600 up and running strong. I was thinking to sell but got greedy. Another recent example is FTR -  went down to $3 in 2014, then up to $8 in 2015 and then down to $3 and now it's up to $5 again. I did sold some of my stocks but usually right after I sell they would go up and then I would feel like oh, yeah, I could just keep them. So my boyfriend suggested me an interesting idea - to sell only part of my stock total, which equal to the gain and keep initial amount I invested. This way if stock would go down, I already got...

It looks like all stocks which I had previously on my list are all up, so I was looking around for more choices. So far I am thinking: Brokerage account choices: HRB, PFE, AAPL, GEL.  Loyal3: TWX, AAPL, NOK, KHC, SBUX. Which ones do you like? What stocks are you looking at this week? Thanks for reading and please share your thoughts.

I was able to purchase shares of DEO in February and I had a post about this  here . February is usually one of the lowest dividends month for me. Dividends received in February 2016: AAPL $0.54 BMO $15.96 DRI $17.42 FCPT $2.20 KMI $8.66 NE $4.80 PG $17.14 RY $10.76 T $13.71 TD $12.95 YUM $0.34 Total $104.48 Which is $2.00 less than in 2015 but mostly because KMI and NE reduced their dividends.
