Current Investing -- In Progress -- Subject To Editing And Updating -- April 7, 2026

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).
