The time has come for my monthly portfolio update. At the end of every month, I will update my portfolio and comment on any changes. I do that for accountability and also so you may glean some ideas on how I allocate my capital. You have the opportunity to learn from what I do well, so you can do the same, as well as what I do poorly, so you will not have to repeat my mistakes.

Purchases
I had some excess cash this month, which I put into Vanguard Emerging Market Stock (VWO) and a few stocks that had taken a beating lately, such as Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and Emerson (EMR). My portfolio performance this month has been poor, but I am continuing to average down in stocks that have good fundamentals, low valuations, and near 52-week lows.
Sales
None.
My monthly performance against the S & P 500 is shown below:
