  1. Nice potential return for such a solid company!
    Did you make the roll-out transaction on 9/17? Why not update your blog on the same day you make the transactions?

  2. Jeff,

    Thanks for the comment! I hope I start getting some more discussion going on the blog. As far as your questions go, I did make the roll-out transaction on 9/17. Unfortunately, Ive been doing a real lackluster job of updating the blog as Ive been traveling about every other week lately which has made both updating the blog, as well as updating the portfolio a tad more difficult. Hopefully the blog will be up to date by the end of this week. The current holdings on the right of the page is up-to-date.

    Thanks Again!

    Jake
