Recent buy: PM & CLX
Today I added more cigarettes and bleach. Not a large buy but nonetheless, these two dividend aristocrats will help add more income to my portfolio.

October 2017 Portfolio Summary
Last month's portfolio summary can be summed up as "business as usual".
Investing like this is boring, it isn't for everyone but the long term reward is great. Nothing spectacular happened in October. I cashed in checks that came in from my job. And I also cashed in checks that came in from my companies' dividend payments. Buys and sells have been quite slow recently. I have been quite content with holding a lot of cash. I think that as my portfolio gets larger and larger, I have a less motivation to spend my cash position immediately. The cash position even if it's in the 5-digits is not such a large percentage of my assets anymore. So I just tend to hold it and keep the "rainy day fund" untouched.
