That is why I wish and hope to continually investing weekly If I could. So here are the stocks on my radar for November: PFE, UTX, SO, PSX, XOM, PFG, AFL, MAIN, IP, OKE, JNJ and KO.

Recent Purchase As we enter the final quarter of the year, I will be buying mostly small amounts to keep adding shares on my current stocks in my fund.
