This time around, as I said in an earlier post, I'm in for the long haul, with very few sales, if any, before a year of holding.
I've started out on a very small scale, but at the most pay $10 commissions instead of $50. I also am using an unlimited monthly purchasing plan to keep my commissions at a reasonable rate.
For the most part I've used dividend research sites, and Fool.com to pick the stocks this time around. Jim Cramer's 60-second picks have rounded things out.
I have long positions in all stocks mentioned, and receive no compensation from, or have a relationship with, any of these companies. My posts are not endorsements suggesting you buy any stock, but are just insights into the health of my portfolio at any given moment.
Dividend reinvestment is enabled for all dividend stocks.
