i did add mo today too

eh...i have mixed feelings about certain stocks and mo is one of them, along with vz/t some others can't think about but i keep accumulating--idk--we'll see how it goes

i tend to be a doomer-gloomer when it comes to investing

last month portfolio dipped 96k and change

this month it went up 96k and change

i made zero progress

It's not about a month Ray.  You are a true investor while some of us here play with a decent size chunk of our port.  There will be times when we wish it was all just sitting in an index fund that goes up slowly everyday for months.  

Although I know longer choose to, I think it is OK for you to hold some stocks like VZ and T.  Just don't get sucked into the yield and start believing they are too cheap to pass up because they aren't.  Most of your port will outperform them over an extended time period.  IMO owning too much of these stocks will doom your port to way underperform SPY.  There is no point in buying individual stocks with a plan like that.  DRIP means nothing if you DRIP junk for years.
