Stock Purchase - Tanger Factory Outlet Centers (40 shares, $56 dividend income)

Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (NYSE: SKT) is a REIT that owns and operates outlet centers in the United States and Canada with more over 2,600 stores representing approximately 400 store brands.

I'm adding more after last month's buy bcos it's discounted even more with that div approaching 6%.

The future for future of brick and mortar retail is gloomy for many but not all. People still love factory outlets and the more expensive brands seems to do well here. 

This purchase will add $56 div income annually to my dividend stock portfolio 💪

Stock Buy - WBK (50 shares, $72 dividend income)

Westpac Banking Corporation (NYSE: WBK) aka Westpac, is an Australian bank and financial-services provider headquartered in Westpac Place, Sydney. It is one of Australia's "big four" banks.

As of November 2015, Westpac has 13.1 million customers, and is Australia's largest branch network, with 1429 branches and a network of 3850 ATMs. The bank is Australia's second-largest bank by assets. It is also the second-largest bank in New Zealand. (src: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westpac)

The US Federal Reserve is currently hiking interest rates and it will be a matter of time before worldwide central banks will follow. I believe strong financial institutions like big banks such as  Westpac will benefit and thrive in this environment. Plus asian middle class immigration is booming there as well. I'm following the smell of money down under :))

I'm "buying the f**king dip" on this bad news cycle which I think will pass in time and everyone will forget like usual ! :))

Selling a Loser - WPG (Washington Prime Group)

It's been a pain in the a** holding this retail REIT (NYSE:WPG) for the past year, watching it go down almost 50% from my buy point ! 😭 The whole retail REIT sector is under heavy selling pressure due to online competition - the Amazon Effect

However I'm still holding good long time quality retail REITs like Simon Property Group (NYSE:SPG), National Retail Properties (NYSE:NNN) and Tanger Factory Outlet Centers (NYSE:SKT) just to name a few. I'm betting the retail sector pie is big enough for everyone to share. I hope I'm right.

Adding more APPLE...

Recent stock market weakness provided a nice opportunity to add more. Their 1.6% dividend is looking good too. I also have a feeling shareholders will soon be rewarded with more buybacks and possibly dividend increases 💪👍🙏💰💰💰

Starbucks - Holding & Adding (21 shares, $25 div income)

Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) has been sleeping past 2 years since I first bought in 2015. This is especially disappointing considering the broader stock market has been steadily going up past 4 years.

After today's revenue result disappointment, I bought more shares because their business is still very much profitable, though not to Wall Street's expectations. Steady income ~2 div yield with decent growth is OK with me especially considering their global brand is so strong. I'll bet they will probably outlive most of us in this lifetime !

This addition will add $25 annual dividend income to my dividend stock portfolio

Market CAP: 82B   EPS: $1.97  Dividend: $1.20 (2.07 %) 

Stock Purchase - Store Capital (50 shares, $62 dividend income)

I added more Store Capital Corp (NYSE: STOR).

With yield above 5% and decent revenues, this is a steady income source.
I first bought this REIT last July.

This purchase will add $62 annual dividend income to my dividend stock portfolio
