Procter and Gamble Stock (PG) Turns Down Helping Build My Profits – Trade Alert – May 20 2016

Procter and Gamble Stock which trades under the symbol PG, has been in my portfolio as long as I can remember. Twenty years ago this stock was paying an 11 cent per quarter dividend. Today that dividend is .6695 cents per quarter. This is a 508% increase over 20 years or basically 25% a year. That’s a hard number to ignore!

Since I started to trade PG Stock twenty years ago, it is up 263%. I have traded Procter and Gamble Stock (PG) throughout good and bad times but the 20 year chart below shows that every dip and every drop was a great opportunity in a truly spectacular stock. Today is my 20th anniversary of trading Procter and Gamble Stock (PG).

I started out 20 years ago with 100 shares of stock and sold options “over the counter” to have those shares paid for through the income earned in selling options, both calls and puts. Twenty years of selling options has now given me 4000 shares of the stock with a cost basis of zero. All 4000 shares have been paid for over the past 20 years through selling options for income. Basically other people’s money, paid for my shares. The latest dividend will give me $2678.00 of income for the quarter. Add to that the income earned every few weeks through selling options and my gain in the stock is well in excess of 28% a year.

This is the method I have used for decades to grow my portfolio. Sell options, earn income, eventually own more shares that are paid for from the income earned. Then collect the dividend. It took time to build my portfolio but stocks like Procter and Gamble made it easier and very worthwhile.
