Stock Of The Month: MSFT

Going forward:  I will only be posting about stock purchases outside of the regularly-scheduled monthly purchases of AGG, HYLB, PFFD, QQQJ, QQQM, and USHY.  (It's going to get really, really boring.)

This month's stock is Microsoft (MSFT), fresh off yet another outstanding quarterly result.

Boilerplate time...

As a stretch goal: for dividend income purposes, I'd like this portfolio to eventually be as much as a 50/50 split between stocks and bonds. As seen below, it is currently 55/45.

I am in no rush to flip into bonds. I would rather let my winners run forever. However, if in any given month I see no stocks that present themselves as especially good buying opportunities, I have no reservations in simply adding to my bond and/or preferred stock ETFs. It is truly a month-to-month situation (as it has always been!).

For the foreseeable future, I want to track my Big Five Two every month, whether I buy them or not.
