Weekend Update - November 23 2013

Over The River And Through The Woods

Hard to believe Thanksgiving is this upcoming week.  I will be going with my family to Orlando and Universal Studios. The kids really want to see Harry Potter World, I would kind of like to see it myself.  I am sure it'll be packed, but that will be part of the ambiance.

Even though I started the week with three straight down days, my portfolio rallied the final two days to end up 25 basis points.  That is actually pretty impressive when you consider that two of my largest holdings, CSCO and INTC got crushed this week.

Dividend Portfolio

Since the two stocks that got crushed this week were in my divvy portfolio, it is a safe assumption that it did not fare well.  At the start of 2014, I am going to start transitioning the portfolio to some extent. I am going to put about 50% of the funds into MFI/higher dividend stocks like VCI and MO.  But I will keep many of the core positions as this portfolio is also about income and building wealth over time.

Discretionary Portfolio

No complaints here.  GNW just keeps going upwards.  I think the market feels net, net that higher rates are good for GNW (it drops book value but raises long term income).  GTAT is volatile, but I am pleased.
