Annual Review Time!
Over the next two weeks or so, as we usher out the old year and ring in the fresh new 2006, I'm going to do a full review of all the stocks in my portfolio.
This will be pretty simplistic, but I'm intending to just review what each stock has done recently, my reasons for holding it, and what I expect to see out of it in the coming year. I'll distill my current thinking on each of my investments into a single paragraph and publish each one as a separate post.
Then, once the list has been slogged through, I'll combine them all together into my order by preference -- I'll rank the stocks that I would most like to invest more in if and when the price or my available funding allow. I'll have some cash to allocate in the first months of the year as I fund our Roth IRAs, so this will help me to have some discipline and consider every holding in my portfolio as I make decisions about putting that money to use.
So, the next couple weeks will be a flurry of very short posts (35 of them, if I do manage to hit every holding as planned), then I'll wrap them all up. I probably won't make any new buys or do any more selling until this is done, though you never really know when an opportunity will crop up that you can't resist.
I'd appreciate any comments you might have along the way. Thanks for reading!
