Recent sells and future buy targets

Today I have shaved off profits off of SO, T, and VZ. My capital gains were nice on SO and T since I held them long before their long climb up and the flight to high yield. I still hold positions in all 3. These 3 positions I classify as very slow growth and they are great companies but I am overweight in slow positions and I want to take more growth risk as a very young investor.

SO: Sold $3257
T: Sold $5165
VZ: Sold $3871

Last week I have done some work categorizing my portfolio into 5 categories. The growth numbers below are averages total returns with dividends reinvested using YTD returns for past years spanning 3, 5, 10, and 20+ years  (however far back the data can go) on each of the category's stocks that I have invested. I place more emphasis on more recent 3 5 and 10 year trends. For example, Very high growth represents the group containing (HD, MA, MO, ROST, SBUX, V, HRL, RAI) in my portfolio. Although past performance cannot predict future performance, they do give an idea of which categories certain companies fit under. Additionally companies for the most part continue from the past 3 to 5 years momentum barring an economic disaster. For example AT&T is slow and steady while Ross Stores is a high growth company.

- Very high growth   (average 20-22% growth)
- High growth           (average 15-19% growth)
- Medium growth     (average 12-15% growth)
- Slow growth           (average 8-12% growth)
- Very slow growth   (average 6-8% growth)

For this year I am re-balancing my portfolio to be around
- 50% Very high growth and high growth
- 25% Medium growth
- 25% Slow and very slow growth
50% will be responsible for growth and 50% will provide the foundation.

I took some time to sit down to look at growth trajectories and past performance for my various holdings. I analyzed the EPS growth, dividend growth, cash flow growth, ROIC, and P/E trends relative to past P/E. I grouped my portfolio picks into various names into those 5 categories which I color coded below.

Notice that the high growth names are usually those with lower yields and high dividend growth, such as ROST and Visa. Altria (MO) and Realty Income (O) are sort of exceptions since they have produced immense returns while maintaining a high yield. The medium growth are many of your staple dividend growth names but they do not have high yields, many have around 1.5-2.5% yield. The slow growth areas belong to high yielding names that are very stable blue chips. This category holds most of my highest quality blue chips.

I will be adding to the neon green and dark green categories which are growth in the coming days since I have a large cash position waiting to be re-balanced
.
Names that I am eyeing to add in the next few days include:
MO, HD, NKE, V, MA, SBUX, ROST, TJX
I find NKE and SBUX undervalued. HD and MA are fairly valued. The others are on the expensive side but appear worthwhile if one is paying up for future earnings.
