Just saw this thread.
I started out like many here. Chasing quick bucks but I changed strategies and went the long-term route (sticking together like flour and water to make that slow dough ... for the Outkast fans). I try to buy good companies with history of rebounding after tough quarters. CAT, AXP, NKE fit that profile. Dividends make it easier to stomach the pain.
- I bought some Ford calls this morning. $11 w/ 5% dividend. WIll drop a lot here after the high from the new CEO wears off. They will announce a special dividend or stock buyback in next 3 months.
- Eating good on Lumber Liquidators. I jumped this around $11 last Feb. Was a long slow ride, but sitting on $30 this morning. That one paid off big. I sold 25% of my stake at $26 to lock in profit. Riding it to 40+ with the rest.
- Jumped on some UAA (Under Armour) too.
Otherwise, I'm waiting on dips and not getting to overextended so I can make a move next time Trump does some Trump-ish shyt.
