It’s a Saturday, so the stock market is closed, and there isn’t any action on the stocks. There might be a little bit going on in the aftermarket trading but that is usually so little it amounts to nothing.
However that doesn’t stop me from looking around. There are still a few companies that I am interested to invest in, but I want to stop buying for a little while and see how the things go with my latest additions.
I have two brokers that I use. One is for my investments that I did originally and then I started recently a new one because I had to use them to get to a couple special index funds that I wanted to experiment with.
Remember, I don’t ever recommend stocks. I am not experienced enough to do that. I just share what I have and how it is going for me. I am just telling you about what is happening in my head and the actions that I am taking, as my dad would say “warts and all.”
I’m currently looking at a company called Church and Dwight which is another company that has several products I used during my youth and growing up. ARM & HAMMER, OXICLEAN, FIRST RESPONSE, NAIR and ORAJEL. (please note: I didn’t use the NAIR, but I can remember it being around the house for my mother, and wife when I was younger).
I know that one of the analysts that I read says that they give Church and Dwight a HOLD rating, but my thought is, you have to have some if you are going to hold it, right? I don’t know. I am just watching it now to see what I can learn.
I am also still looking at Clorox, Colgate-Palmolive and Kroger. But I don’t know if any of them will happen. We’ll see. There are some AI stocks that I want as well. Like Micron, TSMC, Vertiv, and Dell. I am also thinking about HP INC. That’s the department that makes laptops, printers and Ink. It’s separate from HP Enterprise that makes the servers.
The problem is that I have so many companies in my portfolio now that I need to consider, either stop buying new companies and just adding to what I have or sell some and make room. I’ll let you know what I decide.
