It is a busy month for the portfolio. Gone is ULTA Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance (ULTA), bought in January of this year, and sold at a 12% loss.
Bought are the usual suspects in NVIDIA (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA); a recent repeat in Amazon (AMZN); a new piece on the Ticket To Ride playing board in Kansas City Southern (KSU); and the stock I really want to write about: Intel (INTC).
Last bought way back in 2010(!), Intel has quietly cranked out a 120% gain since. They are not the technological leader by raw processing horsepower anymore - NVIDIA's GPUs hold that title - but they are ubiquitous. If you need a silicon chip (and chances are that you do), Intel has a silicon chip for you. With $62B in revenue growing at 9%, and a dividend yield of 2.7%, Intel is an easy stock to own.
Here's my current portfolio (buy and hold). As always, I believe in all of these stocks - until I sell them.
