Ok, I have my new tranche in - I'd say "locked and loaded" but in today's world that does not sound good.
I did commit more $ (again) as was my 2017 plan. Basically a 50% raise (recall I am retired now, so am steadily selling my former company stock and putting to work). So, hopefully a good tranche with the larger commitment.
I did struggle to find picks I liked. I thought about keeping CSCO (kind of safe), but as it was already my largest holding, I decided better to spread $. I did go for two picks not on official list: SIMO and ICHR.
| 8/15/2017 | Start | Current | Dividend | Pct Gain | R3K Gain |
| GHC | $591.10 | $595.70 | $0.00 | 0.8% | 0.1% |
| ICHR | $19.80 | $19.80 | $0.00 | 0.0% | 0.1% |
| MD | $43.00 | $42.94 | $0.00 | -0.1% | 0.1% |
| SIMO | $43.05 | $42.95 | $0.00 | -0.2% | 0.1% |
| RHI | $44.15 | $44.03 | $0.00 | -0.3% | 0.1% |
| Totals | 0.0% | 0.1% |
So here is how my overall matrix looks, I had to add new row as I enter 6th year of this approach.
