I have been investing in various stocks and mutual funds for over 7 years now. I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable investor, who focuses primarily on blue chip, dividend paying stocks. But I am always open to new opportunities and have a portfolio that includes many blue chips, some fliers, some small caps, some mutual funds, some short-term cd’s for cash liquidity, and even a few municipal bonds to help even things out.

 I intend to post details of my various stock and other investment purchases in this blog. This will allow me to look back over various investment decisions and decide if they were wise or not. I consider myself a fairly conservative investor, who prefers the stability and growth of blue chip stocks, but will always play around with other investment ideas. I have a goal of being able to retire by 40 - I say be able to, because I foresee myself always involved in some type of business even after 40. But just knowing I won’t “have to” work is a goal I want to achieve by 40 - I am currently 31.
