May Recap

I wasn't very active with investing this month.  I meant to do a couple posts but never got around it, sorry to anyone who reads this blog.  I was able to secure my dream assignment and will heading back to states soon.  I'm so excited it's hard to contain myself!  Needless to say, my mind has been focused on other things.  The awesome part is that most of my holdings don't need too much attention.  I doubt KO or PG are going out of business anytime soon.

SBSI did a 5% stock split, but held the dividend at the same rate.  The nice part here is that they round up when distributing shares.  Instead of getting 3.37 shares, they sent me 4!  Instant profit.  Normally stock splits do nothing, but I made $14 or so with this one.  Same thing last year.
