Greg - FANTASTIC THREAD... and just at the right time.

31yo who wants to build a future.

I have 20K in my account ready to invest. This morning i bought my first ($1000 in T)

So, with 19K remaining what do you think about 2K in each of the the following to start:

MCD
GSK
COST
MMM
KO

What do I do with the rest? Anything I should add in to balance things out? BTW - I have an energy stock through a DSPP and options at work.

By the way - if I have the ability to self direct my 401K, should i follow the exact same principles there?

Thanks!
Chris
