Week in review

I've made some good progress this week on a few various items. It's been important to see this as a journey and make incremental steps each week.

  • 39 of the 59 holdings are now in the DT Screener. 5 are rated Super Stars, 9 are Excellent, 6 are Fine, 16 are Okay and 3 are Poor.
    • Prior week 29 of the 62 holdings were in the screener, so this is an improvement.
    • The screener still needs tweaks adjusted for sectors. For example, Utilities sector generally ranks low relative to other sectors due to low value & quality scores. 
  • Technology, Financials and Consumer Cyclical have been rebalanced and will remain relatively unchanged unless I add positions.
  • Consumer Defensive, Healthcare will remain relatively unchanged.
  • Dividends have finally started arriving from the initial portfolio investment mid-October. This week we received $254.54!  
    • ABBV - $61.10
    • HAS - $36.72
    • ABT - $4.50
    • HRL - $6.13
    • ABT - $1.35
    • KMI - $87.21
    • O - $22.66
    • ZION - $22.04
    • ONL - $12.83
  • I opened up 4 options this week, 2 covered calls and 2 cash secured puts.  I will count these as options income/loss as received/closed. Any equities secured via cash secured puts will be listed at the strike price.

  • Another $1K contributed towards the portfolio.
Items to work on:
  • Take another look at Industrials, Communications and Materials.

  • Continue too tweak the screener for better representation of sector quality.
Overall some good progress this week.
