Portfolio Update July 2019: Bought 22 Stocks (9 New Buys!) and Sold 3

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
The market continued to make new all-time highs this month and will likely for a while given the Fed is expected to cut rates without a recession to boost the expansion. So even though few bargains are available, I had to buy relatively undervalued stocks to avoid cash drag.

I had sold out BIDU in May to harvest tax losses, but bought back some this month as it remains near 52-week low. Chinese stocks remain battered due to trade tension and the current prices seem reasonable to initiate new positions or add to existing position. So besides, BIDU, I also bought NPSNY (which holds 31% stake in TCEHY but trades at only 80% of its TCEHY stake, a rare bargain opportunity), YY, WB, WUBA, SINA. I am now a convert that big emerging market tech stocks are the best way to capture emerging market growth, as they offer the best growth prospects and tend to have better corporate governance as private companies rather than state-owned entities.

I also bought back MMM I had sold to harvest losses in May.

ILMN, IRBT, and DPZ dropped significantly post earnings and seem like good buys on the dip. 

SRCL and LKQ remain near lows as I added to my positions.

The smaller purchases are part of my monthly investment plans and DRIPs. In my monthly investment plan, I replaced RLI with SPGI, the latter seems higher quality with lower dividend yield.

Sales
I sold 3 stock ETFs (VSS, DGS, FNDE), which are foreign stock ETFs with high expense ratios, and reinvested the proceeds into emerging market tech stocks as discussed above. This helps reduce investment related expenses.

My overall portfolio dividend yield of 1.48% is now lower than the market. My goal in the future is to continue lowering this further by replacing dividend stocks with zeros to minimize my tax liability. Stock market downturn is a good opportunity for me to replace high dividend payers with no or low paying ones.
