ETFs Of The Month: HIBL, SOXL

This month, I bought two new triple-levered ETFs - HIBL and SOXL, representing high-beta and semiconductor stocks respectively - under the investing thesis previously posted here.

Boilerplate time...

As a stretch goal: for dividend income purposes, I'd like this portfolio to eventually be as much as a 50/50 25/75 split between stocks and yield.  As seen below, it is currently 38/62.

I am in no rush to flip into yield. 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, preferred stock, leveraged ETFs and/or covered call ETF/Ns. 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.
