Stocks Of The Month: AMZN, TSLA

First - a sale! Comcast (CMCSA) has been an underperformer ever since I bought it over three years ago. Additionally, inspired by this article warning of the fragility of growth via leverage (among other things), I looked at all of my stocks' cash-to-debt levels...and Comcast was by far the worst, with $5.5B in cash and a whopping $112.0B in debt. It was sold at an 18% loss (-6% annualized). Going forward, I will add cash and debt levels to my monthly tracking stats.

For the foreseeable future, I not only want to track which of my Big Five I buy in a given month - I want to track those that I don't buy.
