Last week, I added 5 more stocks to the Own Every Stock Portfolio.  Three of the companies were smaller cap stocks while two were well known larger cap stocks.  The two bigger stocks I added to the portfolio were Kellogg Company (K) and Marathon Oil Corporation (MRO).  I added Kellogg Company to the portfolio at a price of $42.57 while I added Marathon Oil Corporation at a price of $26.12.  The three lesser known companies I added to the Own Every Stock Portfolio were Electro Rent Corporation (ELRC), NutriSystem, Inc. (NTRI), and Quaker Chemical Corporation (KWR).  The prices these stocks were purchased at are as follows:  ELRC at $10.80, NTRI at $14.49, and KWR at $13.78.  I will talk more about these purchases in an upcoming post, but I just wanted to get a quick update out there.  With the addition of these five stocks the total number of stocks in the Own Every Stock Portfolio is now 129 stocks.

I hope to be able to begin posting more frequently again soon, but I have very busy on a couple other business projects as well as the holidays.  With the new year, another stock related website of mine has been taking a lot of my time updating the year end information.  In addition, I have been negotiating the purchase of a business that is getting close to a completed deal.  Finally, next week I am planning on heading up to Montana to visit some family and friends.  Thanks for stopping by the Own Every Stock Blog and my best wishes to everyone on a happy and successful 2009.
