I understand the recommendation issues. I wasn't fishing for a blessing, just putting my cards on the table as an one example.......I guess. I'm always open to constructive criticism or speculation, everyone's wired a little differently and the more examples the better to some degree.
Personal preference vs. portfolio balance is a real challenge at times. This stock buying is similar to balancing wants and needs in the good old fashion buffet line.
I've been researching EFT's and one will most likely be my final purchase and I'll be done with the buying frenzy with the exception of some long over-due house cleaning when the time is right, then I'll sit back and watch results and adjust as needed.
PS - I trust you more than Cramer.........besides, you're taller.
