not all of that is this year, moreso the last couple years. my speed at gains is much improved though this year as i've been alot more active the last 4-6 months. planning on buying a home in a year. i have like 60k left on my school loans but am debt free otherwise. will spend the next year saving alot of money and investing more heavily. buying a house sooner won't stop me from investing anyway. planning on doing a zero down doctor loan.

mortgage rate is all time low and inventory is so low in most region.

put down 20%, pay off your student loans, and rock that 2.9% rate. you will fly.

Best financial year of my life, and it’s not even close. Just saving cash right now as this run up has been too good.

Winb have any Tesla shares? I think we may need to ban him from thread until he does haha.

Went to buy more of a stock a few days back but it ran up and didn’t take my order. It’s doubled since then. Been a bit mad until I looked at my account balance, can’t complain.
Only 5 shares of Tesla.

i'm planning on doing a physician loan so I can do zero down and still pay no PMI. I'll use the extra liquidity to invest, pay down school loans, and get a fun/weekend car. we can get a nice house for much cheaper in the suburbs, but wifey wants to be closer to the city. she's a super saver/extremely financially conservative even though she makes very good money as well, so her wanting to spend more on a house tells me how much she prefers city living. happy wife, happy life :manny:

thats the beauty of investing, you can choose your own risk tolerance & strategy. If brah wants high dividend payouts let him rock :manny:

I'm just not the kind of person that looks at a portfolio and enjoys holding shares that once I sell them that's it.

With dividends it generates an income that I don't have to work for. As long as the dividend is paid I can hold those shares for life and they'll continue to generate that income and usually it will grow.

10 years from now the income my dividend portfolio generates could help pay for my housing or could pay some of my other living expenses. On top of that whatever capital appreciation I get if I had to sell I could.

With stuff like Facebook, Uber, and Tesla I've branched out a lil from dividends but primarily I'm a dividend investor not a growth investor.

I thought you were all dividends, but you got a bit of Tesla and unethical but vr leader fb.

I had bac and Apple but sold both, so I’m opposite right now and no dividend. Which can definitely be criticized.

I would say you could maybe get one small cap. I got planet13 and it’s run a lot. Smaller then I wanted position in very good foods, and that’s tripled.

5 better than nothing. :manny:


You should check out the Closed End Funds if you into the dividend game. Think I posted some links two or three weeks back. They paying decent dividends and it's a variety of companies. I gotta look into them more myself but gotta increase my cash flow first before making any moves. But look like something that'll benefit you.

this is a hell of a first post, repped :salute:
nah
go two months back...
Go back to the march drop if you're really serious......

Thanks. I have been lurking in the thread for 4-5 weeks trying to learn something.

I guess I took the challenge from @Serious seriously. I've read the 25,000 posts since the March crash.

For newbies like me, I highly recommend going back into the thread and reading from the March drop. Here are a few of the big picture things that I learned:

1. The importance of developing a consistent approach to DD including reading the balance sheets and earnings call transcripts.

2. The value of being a part of a community. Here, you can state your thesis. You might get push back, asked to elaborate, re-think, and/defend your rationale. That only makes you sharper. For example, the recent debate between you and @Doomsday about DASH has been fire. Both of you brought heat, and we all are better because of the exchange of ideas.

3. The importance of collective DD. For example during the DASH debate, other members also brought facts, graphs, and analysis to the table. We are all busy, and the collective learning and sharing is crucial.

4. The need to keep your ear to the streets. Back in late March and April, airlines and casinos, especially BA and ERI, were at the center of the conversation in here. Things have changed so much right now. Those two rarely are mentioned now because better plays exist.

5. The embrace of the Ark Invest philosophy. Members have different strategies, tacitics, and timeframes. Yet, it is clear to me how much the Ark philosophy has become damn-near universally accepted, at least for now.

6. I have insights into the blue chip dilemma. My ex-girl is a VP at a Fortune 25 company. Her job is to find small- and mid-cap disruptive companies for her company to acquire. It is almost impossible for her to convince the higher ups to buy industry disruptor companies. As an outsider, I could see how these companies were a threat.

The CEO was focused on keeping the stock price stable and paying the dividends. She could not convince him that sometimes you have to cannibalize your business to save your company.
Seems like so many blue chips struggle to balance profits and investing in innovate through acquisition.

That makes these blue chips sitting targets.
