WHIMsical TOT

Well it didn't take long to jump back into and buy the one whim I permit myself.  We bought Total S.A. (TOT), the giant energy company, this morning @ $58.69.  We have a mental stop at $53.40.



A non-US energy company paying a hefty dividend could fit in many places in the portfolio.  TOT makes up about 4% of the energy ETF (IXC) we own so it's not adding diversification.  It just a whim and we're most likely to sell soon, hopefully with a gain.

We start back to the tundra tomorrow.  78 degrees here, 20 degrees at home-- what's wrong with this picture?
