KGB1974, I also like VG and CNO, but here's just a suggestion or thought on my part. Instead of using all your ammo on 1 or two stocks, maybe go half in on one and save some cash for the time the stock may have a pull back. (In cases when the overall market doesn't do well.) Sometimes it is very helpful to be able to average down, if ya know what I mean. I have been in your situation many a time, and wished I had more cash to average down. It minimizes risk and loss. Just my 2 cents though. GLTY.
