Investing In Individual Stocks
Many caveats.
Simply a list for my extended family members. Not for my general readers.
Personal portfolio of directly-held stocks.
To be considered must be on the lists below:
- three sectors only;
- ten picks in each sector.
Monthly:
- allocate new money to any of the equities on your list
- no selling of current positions to add to other current positions
- can only add new money to current positions
Annually:
- reassess entire portfolio
- can sell any or all holdings in any position but must have strong rationale to do so
- must completely sell an existing position if one wants to add a new position (this is by far the hardest rule to follow).
