Today, I found a couple more stocks to add to my portfolio. Actually, I have been looking at these for quite a while but just didn’t pull the trigger. Today I decided to go for it.
One stock I have been looking at for a long time now is Kimberly-Clark. They make such a great variety of products that I know about and use in my day-to-day life, so I know it will be a good one for me. They make Huggies, Pull-Ups, and GoodNites Diapers, and Kotex, and Poise feminine products, along with Depend products that I don’t need yet, but might as I get a little older. All this along with Kleenex Tissues, Scott Paper Towels, and Cottonelle Toilet Paper.
I like companies that produce several products that I have had around my house for one reason or another. I think it’s worth owning stock in companies like that.
I have also heard that they will be merging or buying Kenvue which is the company that makes Band-Aids, Lotions, and Tylenol. Since RFK Jr. came out and said that Tylenol was a cause of Autism when women take it during pregnancy, Kenvue has been suffering. Of course, no proof was given except that he couldn’t think of anything else that might be taken by pregnant women.
Anyway, enough of my frustration… I did a limit order on the Kimberly-Clark at about 13 cents below the current price, and immediately the stock price started to rise. But I let it ride, since I know that stocks go down in the afternoon if they rise in the morning, and sure enough I got a notification that it had been filled around 2 PM.
The other stock I got was Amcor. This company makes packaging for products, like pharmaceuticals, and other things that need bottles and boxes. It just so happens that here in our town is one of their factories, so to be a good hometown boy, I figured it would be a good stock to own.
I did a limit order on it as well and it was about the same time as the other one that I got the notification that it had been filled. So I’m happy with what I have now.
There are always more that I am interested in, but we’ll see how things go with these. I recently also bought Chevron and Exxon stocks as well as Campbells Soup Company (now just Campbells Company). Since we are heading into the big delivery time (Christmas and such) I bought UPS who delivers to us frequently. So those are all new additions.
I’m trying to avoid all the information technology stocks that are all involved with AI. I have a lot of them already and I think I have over saturated my portfolio with tech stocks. I have been looking for some stocks outside the big AI scene.
Today is Friday, so there won’t be any action in the Stock Market for the next two days. So I will be looking around and see if any other stocks not in the AI supply chain show up. But I want to let what I have do some work for a while before I start to order more.
