6 Month into this new adventure and I figured I need to keep myself honest with an update
Portfolio has grown from its humble start to the following:
Here is the Current Portfolio:
T 6 shares
ORI 20 shares
KO 5 shares
WFC 2 shares
TGT 1 share
FLO 10 shares
OHI 13.27 shares
MO 10 shares
Learned a few lessons along the way, bought OHI at its peak and it was a sobering experience watching it drop, however on the positive side, it dropped so low that the first dividend was able to drip for a quarter of a share
Felt like a real hero when FLO jumped, almost made me think I could stock pick, good thing KO and TGT came along to knock that thought out of my head.
Saving up to purchase a position in O,JNJ, or hopefully if TGT stays down growing the position. Really I find myself suffering from having to many companies I want to purchase and not enough capital to buy it all at once. Struggling to figure out how to break ties between different stocks that meet all the criteria I have set. But I see that as a positive as it saves me from rushing a purchase and forces me to focus on the data.
Also keep trying to decide if growing what I have is the right course, versus buying into a new company.
Best part of all of this is I am enjoying it and trying to learn, and for the first time in a while, I feel like my money is finally working for me instead of me working for it
Watch list: O, JNJ, PEP, LMT, UNP, CVS
