Recently I've been building a position in Quanta Services (PWR), which is a specialized construction company that builds grid projects. As one of the few major players in this space they have a large moat, and they have a large backlog and no debt. They don't pay a dividend but they are buying back shares.
Matching my investments in PWR with purchases of CBI, since CBI is somewhat similar but drastically on sale. I consider this a 1 year swing trade.
Started a position in TD under $50
Also chasing down UTX
I'm fortunate to have the 100 free trades a year as well. Not nearly as good as 100 a month...but not bad. I got into Wells Fargo Advisors and have had 100 free every year since. I don't use that many, but it is nice to be able to add to my positions on dips without paying fees.
