Money and Finance
I'm reporting another purchase from Friday to go along with my purchases of Chevron and ExxonMobil. This one came right before the close of trading and was very much welcomed. I didn't get the cheapest price because I missed out on following the market during the 2 big drops last week, but quality time with family came first. And I still got some good deals. I've been trying to focus on adding to current positions rather than initiate new ones and luckily most of those have been going on sale. What a strange turn of events June has brought. At the beginning of the month I was frustrated about having way too much cash on hand and now I'm sitting here wishing for more. I still have enough free cash to make another purchase or two but I can't go overboard due to my open option positions, especially since they were sold on margin. Anyways, let's get into the details.

In the investing world of today, waiting for the right price doesn't take too terribly long. This is something that I need to remember as I'm currently sitting on a 25% and 21% cash position in my brokerage account and my Roth IRA respectively....
