Back From Outdoor Ed

I haven't had much time to keep up with stocks or news due to my Outdoor Ed trip, so all I can do at the moment is present current stock standings as well as those for new purchases. I will meet with my mentor on Monday to present to him a more balanced and dividend yielding portfolio, rather than one full of risky investments.

Totals for May 10, 2013:

• BioDelivery Sciences International (BDSI)- Open $5.06 Close $5.15
• Total for 230 shares: $1,184.5

• T-Mobile (TMUS)- Open $18.12 Close $18.64
• Total for 26 shares: $484.64

• Rambus Inc. (RMBS)- Open $7.69 Close $8.01
• Total for 150 shares: $1,201.50

• ConocoPhillips (COP)- Last Price $62.23
• Purchase 50 shares: Total= $3,111.50
• Expensive, but has up to 4.24% dividends every three months

• Pfizer Inc. (PFE)- Last Price $28.69
• Purchase 65 shares: Total= $1,864.85
• Company has 3.3% dividend every three months

• Treasury Bond: $2,000

After purchasing some dividend yielding stocks, my total cash dropped from $5,153.23 to $176.88. Thanks to dividends, this number will grow every three months as companies reward their investors periodically. I currently have $9,846.99 in invested assets, including the treasury bond which totals $10,023.87, a gain of $23.87 over the course of the project.
