The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

[Andrew12gauge]

Mine is mostly tech- which can be very good or gut wrenching....but on the risk scale it's not even in the same ballpark risk wise as some of those small stocks discussed here where they can go to Zero. I did own MLPX and BRK-B but they were underperforming so I dumped them.

I'm in TSM, META, GOOG, QTEC, GS, VGT, AMZN, ANET, MU, PFE and a little of the dud I bought for a trade ARLP. I manage risk by the % I have in the market with the rest in ST money markets. I was about 60% in for most of the year. I don't sell much in my Taxable accounts but manage market exposure by selling/buying in our IRA's. I'm up to appx 80% in the market right now.

Yeah, I've had some wild swings- thats what you get being overweight in one sector- but its worked well for me over the decades. A few years there it was (Obama admin) Health Care...and (Bush) Oil....but I always had a big chunk in Tech ETF's- VGT and QTEC. I've owned a pretty good % in Oil off and on for a lot of years...but now I'm all out. Same with HC. I'm a ride the wave in individual sectors guy- easy to do now with ETF's.

FWIW, I wouldn't rebuy that exact portfolio I have right now- some of those are overvalued. I would re-buy QTEC, MU, META.

Hat tip to @MThoundhunter, I'm going to take a deeper look at SLDP and solid state battery tech over Christmas. That tech will be huge. A good start for those interested in this is HERE at Matt Ferrell's Undecided website, article "Solid state batteries, Hype vs Reality"

You seem like the kind of guy who might be interested in JOBY and ACHR, they are EVTOL aviation companies which seem to be at the forefront of that industry.

Appreciate the suggestions BUT otherwise they both have terrible charts and negative earnings....there could be some recent breakthroughs, I didn't look past basics...... those are way too risky for me.

I have a feeling that they will continue to keep printing. I look for the markets to keep going up

 

[Pharmseller]

Oops, down 45 cents.

Up 28 bucks!

I know this thread is more about stock ideas.....BUT This is a good time to re-evaluate investment portfolios like 401k's, IRA's and what investments you have that stuff in.

For example, my wife has one small retirement account and I was checking the funds she has it invested in and they are TOTAL DOG funds [+ 8%]. Its my fault, at the time I told her to put part of it in a small cap fund- for a little diversification (which I believed in more at the time) That small cap fund has underperformed like crazy. It's such a small account I never really look at it....well I should have as over a decade long period it really matters. That particular account has crap choices...bummer I can't move it to something good.

I have another account that is probably a lot like the 401k or investment accounts many here own for retirement. Screen shot is the available investments in an easy to evaluate chart. Partial chart, it's actually 3 pages with this outfit. Keep in mind, with these Funds, the best in one year might underperform the next.


Just saying, it's worth eyeballing these every year just to make sure we are on the right track. Merry Christmas guys.

My 401k was at 17% this year. Overall, I'm happy, but feel like I could have done better had I managed it a little better. I trade 10% of it in 401k brokerage and the other 90% is split amongst 3 funds.

 

[Danny Hoey]

I’m down 1% for the year in my brokerage account thanks to my yield max plays. But up 72% in my ROTH due to KULR, BSKY and APLD. 457 is sitting at 15.2% which is just in general mutual funds. So if I average it all out I would guess it’s all about the same for me.

Love Contafund for the long term in a company 401k w/o a lot of options.

Agreed, I've owned it for over a decade. The top 4 funds is what I have this one account in. That Contrafund has done 12.5% over a 10 year period- thats not bad especially in this account where I don't have to pay the taxes on their trades/changes.

I stick to ETF's in my regular account which build tax deferred, We only pay the tax when we sell them.
