I'm sure if either drop 20% I'll look harder at drumming up some funds, but at this point I'm just happy to have them in the portfolio and I'll let them do their thing.

Forget to mention the other day, but I made the first purchase in my daughter's ESA on Tuesday with a $200 buy of XOM.

Added a little bit of OHI.
I've been experimenting with a covered call strategy and it's working out pretty well so a lot of my new funds are going towards that at the moment.

Bought CSCO today. Great looking chart, yield and I think it can trade to $48-50 by years end. To me its one of the best buy in the tech sector. But hey that's just me lol
BTW - Utilities getting hammered again today. But at least my AWK which I bought on Friday is having a nice day!

I sold out of CVS and added to D and BA today. CVS is a still a great company but I took some money off the table after gaining $14 in 3 months lol. Company is still a great name to own but with that kind of gain I cant look back. I just wish my WBA would do the same haha!

Made a couple moves in my trading portfolio today by selling WLL and HP and buying AOS and EXP.
I think AOS and EXP should benefit from hurricane reconstruction and strong economy. Neither pay much in the way of dividends, but should put up double-digit growth.

Eric, what are your reasons for selling WLL and HP? Selling WLL since it doesn't pay a dividend?
01-19-2018, 03:21 PM
Have plenty of oil and gas yet in my DGI account and still have some WLL in another cash account. I wanted AOS and EXP and needed to sell something to raise capital to buy them.
WLL was a speculative pick and I think I made around 50% on it. On to other ideas! As to HP, I think it is best of breed for drillers, but I'm not convinced that rig count will grow that much due to the high efficiency of new rigs. There is a bottle-neck of fracking crews available to complete wells, so there is no sense adding rigs if you don't have a way to finish them. I think EXP and AOS are a bit more consistent with growth as well.

I'll reiterate, that these moves are in my trading account that is for capital appreciation, and not for dividend income.
AOS does have a 24 year streak of dividend growth, but it yields less than 1%. EXP pays a dividend, but doesn't consistently raise it to be considered a dividend growth stock.

I added to GE, which I know is taboo because they cut their dividend. It's a longterm play. I figure if they cut the dividend, it's more retained earnings to invest or grow the business, and it still pays a dividend, which they will probably increase at some point down the road. I think that however it plays out, I'll be glad I bought at these levels in ten or twenty years.
