Whenever I buy or sell a position in my portfolio I try to get a post up shortly thereafter discussing the reasons for the purchase and all of the juicy details. I'll usually tweet about the purchase within an hour of the purchase but I'm not always free to get a post written. If you want to find out about my purchases as quick as possible, make sure to follow me on Twitter @JC_PIP.
I'm in a great place right now as I routinely get to save a large portion of my income each and every month. The negative to that is that after the huge increase in share prices through 2013 a lot of the value has been sucked out of the market. It's a delicate balance between building up cash for better valuations in the hopes they come relatively soon and investing my savings to try and reach financial independence as quickly as possible. The solution I've settled on is to do a little of both by building my cash and simultaneously investing in some of the highest quality companies at reasonable valuations. The solution is largely predicated upon my high income/savings rate and a problem I'm glad to have to deal with. If I had less capital to invest on a regular basis I'd lean more towards building cash right now and doing as much research as possible on the best companies I can find. This past Thursday I went ahead and put some capital to work by adding to my position in Johnson & Johnson (JNJ).

It's been a busy and fun week. I've been back to the grind at work now and I can't say I'm all that excited about it. Especially now that my wife is on summer break and has loads of free time. It makes it that much more difficult...

I try to make at least one purchase a month and usually two just because of the amount of capital I usually have to work with from my savings. Since I'm trying to reach financial independence as quickly as possible I don't feel that's it's...
