At the time of my last Danaher (DHR) post, it had recently released its Q3 and YTD2022 results. I concluded that I plan to slowly increase my exposure given that its credit risk is improving and its current valuation and long-term outlook are attractive. I now disclose an increase in my Danaher exposure in the [...]
This FFJ Portfolio - December 2022 Report provides an overview of what transpired during the month. The broad market pullback in late September/early October allowed investors to acquire shares in great companies at reasonable valuations.

On January 3, 2019, I acquired 300 Apple (AAPL) shares @ $143.6168 (1200 shares and ~$36/share when we account for the end of August 2020 4:1 stock split). I disclosed this purchase in my January 4, 2019 post at which time I suggested investors load up on AAPL shares. Following that post, AAPL's share price [...]

In my December 2, 2021 Visa (V) post at Dividend Power, I lay out why I considered it to be an attractive long-term investment. I followed up this post with my April 27, 2022 post on this site where I suggest accumulating V shares on pullbacks. I once again revisit my largest holding in this [...]
I last reviewed Genuine Parts Company (GPC) in my guest post at Dividend Power. At the time, GPC had recently released FY2020 results and FY2021 guidance. In that post, I concluded GPC was a slightly overvalued Dividend King. We now have Q3 and YTD2022 results. With just under a month before FYE2022, I revisit GPC [...]
In this brief post, I explain why Blackstone's (BX) headwinds make it a buy. I last wrote about BX in this October 24 post at which time it had just released Q3 and YTD results. BX has been in the 'penalty box' of late and Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust Inc.'s (BREIT) challenges are likely [...]
This brief FFJ Portfolio - November 2022 Report recaps what occurred with this investment portfolio during the month. Looking for attractively valued companies was like shooting fish in a barrel in late September/early October. Unfortunately, the tide turned after this timeframe thereby making it more difficult to identify attractive investment opportunities. New Positions I have [...]
