Hello everyone, I've been investing for about 2 months my goal with this portfolio (taxable account) is to focus on 4-6 companies that I believe they have:

• Strong Finances
• Good Margins
• Organic Growth
• Good ROCE

Focusing in 4-6 companies would allow me to build a good position and once my portfolio gets to 8-10k I will add couple more stocks. I am also considering adding a ETF for a core position in this portfolio, I also have a ROTH IRA that it mainly consist of $SCHD & $SCHG .

For my 4 stock at the moment I have picked the following

1.- VISA INC -> $V (-0,16 %)

This is amazing company, incredibly strong balance sheet with high return. I know $MA (-0,3 %) could be a problem later on but I honestly don't see $V (-0,16 %) going away anytime soon.

2.- SalesForce -> $CRM (-2,41 %)

The leading crm business in the US, most companies I know use this amazing software.

3.- Boston Scientific -> $BSX (+0 %)

Boston Scientific is a Medical Device Company in the past years they have growth at a good rate, currently with their new product in the Electrophysiology world dealing with Afib their holy grail product FaraPulse position themselves at the top. I believe with this technology and the introduction of other products they will grow more.

4.- Ulta Beauty -> $ULTA (-1,47 %)

Makeup, while looking for a company that is more consumer oriented, I came across $ULTA (-1,47 %) when dealing with consumer companies the worry is always that they are cyclical business and if we experience a period where the economy takes a hit people will cut the extra expenses. But let's be honest Girls want to look pretty. Every $TGT (-2,56 %) has a $ULTA (-1,47 %) inside this increases their exposure and with the expansion of ULTA outside of the US I believe they can experience a good growth.

Going forward I am planning to add $AMZN (-2,39 %) if their stock continues to drop. I Don't have a focus on dividends at the moments but I don't mind having a good stock that pays one.

I am looking forward to your feedback, any suggestions thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
