That's what I finally decided. Instead of buying two, I'd spend what I had at the time and buy what looked good/decent from a price P/E perspective. I will circle back and build these up next month as I can, if everything looks okay.

I would now start backfilling your positions when prices become reasonable again before I'd venture into another big add in company count.
Great job!
LOL, I know about the tech! Especially IBM, since I intensely dislike their sales tactics and terrible hardware & systems software. (Except AIX) I plan to circle around this grouping next month and add to the ones I didn't catch this month. It feels like herding.
I could KICK myself for not buying T when the price was good. The only reason I didn't was that I am trying to keep my individual positions to A- or higher credit ratings. Maybe that's wrong thinking.
Thanks for your input. I'll update this thread again when I have enough input.
