Recent Buys - May 3 - 6 2016

Made a few small purchases over last week. Sorry for the late post

Valero (VLO)
9 shares of VLO at a price of $55.99 = $503.91

Initiated a position on what I believe is an excellent stock to own and at a good price. Will definitely add more in the future

Starbucks (SBUX)
4 shares of SBUX at $55.50 = $222.00

Averaging down on another stock I'm excited to own.

Gap Inc. (GPS)
10 shares of GPS at $21.14 = $211.40

Missed the opportunity to sell a few weeks back. Bad decision. Now averaging down and it's down like crazy again on April sales. Hopefully it will bounce back in the short term and looking to sell the stock.
