Drip Transactions

Below is a list of the monthly investment transactions made by the real-money Drip Portfolio. Every month we save $100 and invest it in our various companies. The Drip Portfolio's first purchase was Intel in September 1997. Our second purchase was Johnson & Johnson in November of that year, followed by Campbell Soup in April 1998 (we closed that position in January 2002). Mellon Financial was our fourth buy, announced October 1998. Fifth was PepsiCo. Our sixth new purchase was payroll-services provider Paychex, first bought in February 2002. We hope to invest regularly in these leading companies to reach our $150,000 portfolio value goal by 2017.

For more details on these holdings and for the research that led to the buy decisions, please see the portfolio Stock Information pages.

Step by step, and drip by drip, we're working to build value. Imagine what this page will look like 19 years from now, including all the reinvested dividends. (A bittersweet nightmare!) Fool on!
