WoV stock portfolio
Quote: TumblingBonesWhen did you start? 41% is great if you started 2 years ago but if it was 10....
Its almost 4 years ago. I am pretty sure I trail the overall market. But in my defense, I have been putting some of this into bonds, so maybe 20% of this portfolio is now in bonds making around 3% a year. Certainly better than a financial planner would do for me recommending 40% in stocks and 60% in bonds.
How are all the previous homeless guys doing.?
FYI I have never been dumb enough to be homeless.
Quote: SOOPOONow up 41% since I started, but slowly shifting from stocks to bonds as I can smell retirement...... I am almost back to the highs after the 'correction' of two Dow -1000 days. Is this upturn a 're-correction"?
This portfolio now up 43%. Another 2% since mid February. I'll take it. As you all know the market had been down significantly ("must be Trump's fault") but has come back again! (must be in spite of Trump!)

Im interested in hearing how a doctor with a hot fiance is doing. The fact that the doctor has gone through years of schooling to better himself and complete what he started says a ton about the character of an individual. Someone who is helping others through his profession and hot relying on entitlements from family.
40% return in 2 years is outstanding and better than most wall street professional return... far more. Now can we hear more about the hot fiance? lol
I do not consider myself to be dumb. Scored in the top six percent in the nation on all that College Board and LSAT stuff, top percentile in (Iowa or Ohio) Standardized achievement tests in Junior High or something. Vocabulary scores equivalent to college senior when I was in fifth grade.Quote: AxelWolfFYI I have never been dumb enough to be homeless.
Unlucky with quacks.
And totally helpless with basic arithmetic.
For those of you who have read my Only In Horse Shoes and Grenades thread at DT, I was the brightest in the nation but undone by my "see food" diet and in that lone respect perhaps I was indeed the stupidest in the nation that day.
So yes, I am homeless but overall I am NOT dumb.

Thank you. I came from what we called a 'lower middle class' family.
It is NOT 40% in two years, I think it is now 4 years. It definitely trails 'the market' mostly because a bunch is now in bonds making 2-4% depending on maturity, risk, etc...
As far as the hot fiancee, I am very lucky. She is a dentist, so is equally educated. She works very hard, harder than I do know for sure. She is only 9 years younger than I am, but looks much younger. I read some of the comments by EvenBob here about women and I want to mention her but have always avoided it. She is interested in 'private activities' at a large multiple compared to any of the wives or girlfriends of friends or colleagues I know.
As far as how 'hot' she is, I'll allow Mike or Axel to comment.
Quote: ZenKinGYou should add the ETF QQQ to your portfolio. Thank me later
Thanks ZK. I have owned QQQ for decades. Still do. I am actually pretty sure it was QQQQ when I bought it. It's heavily Amazon and Google and Apple I believe.
As far as troop's comment that 'bonds are not safe', I understand the risk. But the risk is mostly in someone else valuing the bond at lower than I purchased it, but if held to maturity I know what I'm getting. My 7 year bond I bought paying 3.25% will pay me $3,250 every year for 7 years and then the $100,000 back at the end of year 7. If I need to liquidate the bond after 3 years I could lose money if interest rates go up enough.

It's actually much more than just a tech fund with just the big tech names, it's quite a diversified fund and at such a low expense ratio cost compared to the returns it has brought over the last 5-10 years. It is averaging close to 25% a year for the last 5 years and i believe last time I checked 15% a year for the last 10 years. Even offers a dividend of close to 1%.
I was also a fan of VGT, which is a pure tech play, but id rather have a more diversified fund. Tech is not going anywhere for the next 30 years or so and so i want my fund to be primarily tech, but it sure doesnt hurt to have some healthcare or consumer defensive picks in there etc.
Quote: WizardI made these purchases on 1/5/15:
Wynn: 75 shares at $144
MGM: 500 shares at $20.50
Current values:
Wynn: $125.64 (but it did pay a $2 per share dividend recently)
MGM: $19.66
In short, I stink at picking stocks. Not just these purchases but my whole lifetime record. I'm almost as bad at the stock market as I am with women.
Let's see how I'm doing on those. I still hold both.
Wynn: $191.63
MGM: $32.32
Not bad for a little over three years! A rare stock choice that did well. Still, my advice on picking stocks is don't listen to my advice.

QQQ was a great fund, but unless you believe Apple and a few other tech companies are going to keep doing what they did for the past decade, it may not be the fund for you. Then again, if you think those few stocks will mirror the past ten years, why not invest in them instead of a broader index fund.

Sadly, I've sat on A LOT OF BT plc shares for 30 years. Made money in the distant past but lost tens of thousands in the last couple of years. MIGHT be ripe for a take-over by Deutsche Telekom or a Chinese Telecoms group such as ZTE. That's in a real nasty downtrend. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bt+share+price
The CEO of BT is coming under a lot of flak for being an incompetent idiot. I met him once 1 to 1 at a conference, when he was a mid to high ranking manager and I was a tech. A few decades ago. We were talking about malware and some of the old style desktop 'premium rate' porn dialer scams. He told me how his parents had one and had run up a MASSIVE phone bill ( bear in mind who he works for) I asked him what he'd done to get the malware sorted for his folks and he basically had no answer. That struck me as massively thoughtless, careless and ignorant. I know it's a trivial anecdote, but I guessed when he rose to be CEO that he would be no good. So far I'm proved right. Mind you, BT has had a stream of hopeless CEOs.

Actually depending on the bond you may or may not get your money back at the end. As interest rates rise there is going to be downward pressure on bond prices and the cost of financing goes up which in turn will lead to some bankruptcies.
My advice since in reality you are making less than 1% on those bonds (taxes and inflation) is to look at stocks like (using ticker symbols) GOOD (8.8% yield REIT) "O" (REIT 5% Yield) etc for higher yields and a more stable price control, reinvest dividends and compound your earnings far quicker (GOOD at 100k investment would return $695 the first month in dividends)
if you reinvested dividends for 7 years your monthly income in month 84 (of your 7 year bond) would be $1272.40 and the stock assuming no price increase would be at roughly 181k http://www.dividend-calculator.com/monthly.php?yield=8.5&yieldgrowth=0&shares=5555&price=18&years=7&do=Calculate
If you've been considering getting into the "green rush" now's a good time to do so.
I got in a little over a year or ago and while I have a couple that are slightly under, (mostly due to a large sell off in January), I also have 7 that have 100% - 600% gains.

Yes, important vote in June. Great time to buy into the sector as a speculative play while the stocks are sold off. I have significant Holdings in Emerald and Aurora cannabis. Holding long term... but always take some profits after the first 100% return in stock and let the rest ride.

I would look at dividend/distribution paying equities vs. bonds. Lots of options paying 4-6% now and long histories of increasing payouts to share/unit holders. REITs are even given some tax preference in the latest tax bill....I like the pipeline space as mentioned although some of those have suspended dividends when the bottom fell out of energy....as long as the distribution continues, do you really care that much about valuation of your stock/REIT/MLP? These types of investments tend to ebb and flow in value, increasing as their dividends/distributions increase...best bet is to look at the historical payouts of these positions over the last 15-20 years (e.g. before and after the debacle of 2009) and see if they continued to cut those quarterly checks you can live on during those different market conditions.

Funny how the talking heads credit a Trump trade deal with Mexico as the impetus for the latest up tick. I do fear the mid term elections, and likely Democrat controlled House. If you think there is gridlock now with the minority Dems doing their darndest to block any and all Trump plans, just imagine what will happen when the Dems actually control a House!
By the way, my 'up 50%' does include dividends, as this is in a retirement account so no money leaves the account.
Unless that "downward move" is one that is also accompanied by a sharp rise in interest rates, which would induce a bear market in long bonds. (But I'd mostly tend to agree with the expectation embedded in that quoted statement, usually, in most usual equity market corrections, most of the time. Just saying: "But.")Quote: SOOPOO...<SNIP>,,, This portfolio now nearly 25% in bonds, so will lag the market up, but also lag on it's next downward move. ...<SNIP>...

You are technically correct. But I look at my bond holdings a little differently. Say I have $1,000,000 in bonds with an average payout of 3.5%. I just know I'll be getting $35k a year, regardless of what Wall Street values my bonds at. If interest rates rise, my $1,000,000 in bonds would be worth less if I have to liquidate them, but I'd still be getting the same $35k no matter what the supposed value of the bonds is. I'm not a bond trader. I'm a bond holder.

For the pitiful yields you are getting the risk in devaluation iN an economy that has to raise rates I just dont get your logic.
I would look at ticker GOOD. more than stable 8% yield. REIT triple net leases with fortune 500 companies and almost 100% occupancy
Woukd also look at ticker STOR as well

I am actually in the process of buying a gas station and once I get closed on it I want to try and take it public and start adding gas stations to the company. This thing profits about 250k a year and just reinvest profits as available into other gas stations. If I can get to 10 stations it would make for a nice little company that rewarded early shareholders.
(please let me be very very clear this is not a solicitation of funds etc just discussing an investment )
Quote: ParadigmI would be a seller of gas stations and electric utilities, lots of disruption in both of those spaces coming in the long term IMHO...I have owned STOR for a while and like some other REITS as well...it will be interesting to see how they perform in a rising interest rate environment that we are entering.
Not sure of disruptions in the gas station markets. I get utilities but not gas stations. That said I do own 445 shares of AEP with reinvesting dividends
wait.. whats going on with electric utils?Quote: ParadigmI would be a seller of gas stations and electric utilities, lots of disruption in both of those spaces coming in the long term IMHO...I have owned STOR for a while and like some other REITS as well...it will be interesting to see how they perform in a rising interest rate environment that we are entering.

(my retired mom owns $300k worth of Con Ed though employee stock purchase. she never sold)
I see two risks in utilities. Not sure of 100x odds thoughts.
1. Attack on electric grid would cause a drop in value because of a loss of confidence in them and upgrades additional security expenses etc
2. A Democrat being trump in 2020 would be disastrous because we would go back to Obama era regulations on power companies etc.
Gas stations and oil companies in the short term will be more immune from this. Big reason is the limited range for electric cars and the fact there is a whole infrastructure that will have to be built to support it
It started before I was hired by years but was open to new hires. The rule was (this is 1993) you put in $25 a pay period. Each time you invested you got a share or a percentage of a share based on current market value of the portfolio. (initial shares to start were sold at $5 each they said) They divided number of shares from previous meeting by market value and come up with a "share price". You were not allowed to withdraw until you left your job or retired at which point your shares were "sold" and you were given a nice retirement check so to speak if you started when you were hired (20 year retirement) This thing was legit with a corporation and tax id number etc.
You were assigned to a group when you joined and each group had to come back to the big group every two weeks with a stock you thought would be a good investment and almost do a presentation (people attended by phone) . So each two weeks there was 10 stocks brought to the groups attention and a vote was made on which to invest the funds into from contributions. If a super majority (7 of 10 groups) could not be had then there was a rotation of groups and whoever's groups turn it was picked the stock or had the option to roll over to the next pay period and combine the funds(this allowed each group to pick twice a year)
There was some good picks over the years. I retired in 2015 after 22 years. Over that time a few groups got together and colluded to spoil the majority for several pay periods in a row and had the money rolling over. When the 5th group picked they went all in on tesla with 12.5k or so at $25 a share (roughly may have been a little more or little less)
Facebook had similar collusion but had it was done by a larger group 7 of the 10 and they put in 17k+. Apple was bought at about 1.50 a share. it was the minimum because nobody wanted to go along with it so the group used its turn.
There were some duds as well one group picked a penny stock CMKX which may be one of the largest penny stock scams ever. We lost our roughly 2500 bucks when the SEC axed trading. Enron was owned but the group sold it before it completely collapsed though at a big loss and a few other losers. There were a couple other shots at penny stocks as well that missed and one that hit going from about 5 cents to a couple bucks. Don't remember the name but we sold it.
I put in 14.3 over 22 years and walked away with a little over 200k. I was lucky in the fact that Apple ran like crazy and had 3 splits. Tesla ran like crazy. Facebook made nice gains as well. I wish I was still involved because there was such a diverse group of minds and age groups that things like Apple got brought up by the younger groups that the older guys would have never invested in yet their was stability in the portfolio from the older guys picks such as utilities, oil and gas (which did well) and other bluechip stocks. As online brokerages etc came along they started reinvesting dividends.
Each month all the stocks were reviewed to see if anything needed to be sold and in other situations stocks could be sold if everyone agreed over the phone if situations like Enron happened.
Only real rules we had was a stock could not be bought a 2nd time if still owned without unanimous consent (which led to a few collusions so larger blocks could be bought (tesla)) which forced diversity, and no leaving until you retired or quit. You were in until the end and had to contribute or you lost your money already invested. This forced you to leave the money in for the reward at the end. If you were killed in the line of duty everyone lost so to speak because your spouse got 10% of the total portfolio which happened twice while I was in. The logic in the quit/retire thing also was it added to stability of the portfolio so people could be paid when they left so it could be planned for to liquidate some stocks if needed.
Last I heard they had about 200 people in now and had raised it to $50 a paycheck
Just to be clear this is not me trying to start an investment club at WOV though if someone (other than me) did I would participate.
Anyway I just thought I would share this because of the discussion of stocks everyone was suggesting here and how diverse they are. As someone who loves the stock market I have enjoyed reading and following this thread though it is a slow.

How are you making these investments? Generally pre-IPO/private equity investing is limited to venture capital firms and/or rich people (e.g. "accredited investors") investing tens of thousands minimum. I'm guessing you are using some app out there that has made this available to the plebes at low investment levels.

Whoa! This type of investing* smacks of Madoff/Ponzi risk - just 'potentially', of course many such operations are legitimate. If you want to get an idea how many aren't, just watch "american greed" once in a while on CNBC. I would seem there are so many scam operations out there that the show never runs out of yet another one to feature. "Loosely organized" is just exactly the thing here that puts an investor at risk.
The thing is, if you want to buy stocks and bonds, you don't need to hook up with anything like this. Just go online or call the real deal, someplace like Vanguard, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, E-trade, the list goes on and on. It has never been easier or cheaper and the risk of getting scammed [scammed outright anyway] dwindles off to near zero.
