I’ve significantly slowed my stock buys. I’m waiting for interest rates to rise in December or for the market to panic once everyone realizes that we just elected a reality TV star into the White House. Neither has happened yet. I’m 50/50 on the odds of an upcoming rate increase. REITs have dropped in price on fears of an increase. Even with the risk of a rate hike, the price was right, so I decided to add 100 shares of Omega Healthcare Investors, OHI to my portfolio.

I bought 100 Omega Healthcare Investors shares at a per share price of $28.61, totaling $2,861. My OHI share total is now sitting at 211.16. These new shares will add $244 to my annual dividend income. Total forward annual dividend income from OHI shares is now $523 dollars.

This new OHI buy, helped to cut my overall per share cost basis to $29.88.

Takeaways

I’m slightly concerned that I could get a better deal by waiting until the Fed meeting. Rates may very well go up in December. If rates do go up, I expect REITs to fall even further. If this happens, I’ll likely purchase 100 more shares to further cut my cost basis. If prices don’t drop, I’ll sit tight with my 211 shares and collect great quarterly dividends.

Speaking of dividends, if OHI stock stays at its current price, I’ll be dripping almost 5 full shares a quarter !

What’s your opinion of Omega Healthcare Investors? Are you buying or avoiding REITs? Do you think interest rates will go up in December?
