Latest Investments in My Portfolio
I just completed a couple investment purchases. Some stocks are looking very attractive to me and I wish I had additional cash on hand ready to make purchases. Here is what I have recently added to my portfolio:
*Note: I have included transaction fees in my cost basis
| Company | Ticker | Cost Basis* | Shares |
| Ebay | EBAY | $504 | 18.926 |
| IBM (in 401k) | IBM | $2500 | 33.921 |
| Medtronic | MDT | $500 | 10.669 |
| Pfizer | PFE | $100 | 4.358 |

Well let me frame the $100 - I have a large holding (relative to the size of my portfolio) of Pfizer stock held in the DRIP account. I have been adding to it when I feel like Pfizer is a good buy in small quanities.Since there are no transaction costs I see no reason not to invest in Pfizer in small amounts
