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 continued to add significant money into stocks this month while prices in certain stocks remained relatively attractive, reducing much of my free cash. I added to position in Walmart and Emerson Electric, both of which are wide moat, dividend aristocrats, part of my monthly investment plan and selling at low valuations and near 52 week lows.
I also added to my positions in Mattel, Companhia Energetica Minas Gerais, and China Construction Bank. Mattel is down 30% YTD. Mattel currently has a Shiller PE around 10 and dividend yield around 7%. Unfortunately, due to a significant slide in profit, Mattel's current dividend yield is unsustainable unless business improves. I think the company can turnaround, but this a a speculative play. Companhia Energetica Minas Gerais, down 67% YTD (ouch!), and China Construction Bank, down 16% YTD, are both emerging market stocks with very low valuations.
The rest of my purchases are either part of my monthly investment plan, or dividend reinvestment.
