My current stock holdings. What's yours?

I'm busy looking all of these up. Not.

Your portfolio leads me to believe you suffer from FOMO. Lots of good stocks though. If you hold them for 10 years you'll be happy you did.

In the morning I will take a look at your list and give some thoughts and tips and or ideas that I have.

Impressive! The only stock I am holding is a stock photo I purchased for promo purposes.

Get out of NKLA while you can. The company is a scam.

I hold Occidental, Marathon Oil, Boeing.

all in all not a bad portfolio. You might be a bit over diversified though

Good video of Warren Buffett on diversification :

Some clarification on my FOMO comment.

Take plug for instance... 37...
This leads me to believe that you either bought it on the way up or you bought one of the dips after the surge in January for almost all meme stocks and alternate fuel stocks. So it seems that you were chasing a bit.

However.. look at the ticker for one year. Notice the slower trend line and if you drew it out you'd be around 32 right now if the surge never happened. Also realize that there was a smaller surge in December.. So it might take about 3 to 4 months to get back to 37. But if and when it does, this time it will be there because it's supposed to be there and not because of volatility or wall street bets.

You have a ton of stocks in this situation in your portfolio. To be honest, your portfolio reads more like my day trading menu than a long term hold portfolio.

You might pick 8 to 10 really solid stocks and sell, convert all others into them. You'll take a nice loss on many of them, but that will help to offset any gains tax wise.

36 Bitcoins. I prefer is simple.

Bought PLUG at $7.70 - did NOT sell at $70...

HODL!

Prior to purchase, I did a quick read what others published about them. Per the articles, they appeared to be untrustworthy and unstable. As the buy in was low, the brand name itself is strong, and there is this crazy influence playing out by retail hobby investors, I decided that it was worth the gamble.


I had my eye on Marathon, and Boeing. I look at Boeing as a stable company, and just wanted to see them come out of the weeds first with resolving the aircraft issues and see more pending orders coming in.

I agree with your comment and appreciate the link to the video. Will watch it tonight. Since most companies stock proces were effected by the COVID pandemic, and I had enough money I was prepared to lose, but was hoping to see it double within 18 months, I decided to spread the bet on most horses running down the track.

I agree with most of what you wrote. The wide spread, was due to the volatility, and my wanting to see the potential short term (3 to 6 months) crazy big gains.

That's why there was 60+ stocks (early weeks of March and April 2020), now 45+ ( November December 2020 January February 2021) and now I am looking to see what plays out in the upcoming few months, to close out another 15 or so stocks, and focus on 20-30 at the most.

Currently I keep a XLS, and maintain the published details (buy, sell, hold, Under, Fair, Overvalued, P/E, Highs and Lows for the previous 12 and 24 months, including the post 2008/2009 market crash highs and lows for 12 and 24 months). To spread out the risk, without doing a intense study on each company, I do my best to keep an equal amount of money invested in under value, fair and over valued companies.

Bought PLUG on the big dip.


I bought 1 share of PLUG in March 2020 for around 6 or 7 USD to serve as a reminder to keep an eye on it for the future. Even with all the hype, I held off, figuring the volatility would show off how high it could go, which is in the 67-70 range. When that same volatility brought it to half the price, I felt better about the investment at 30 something for long term.

XOM - Exxon
SAIC - Science Applications International Corporation
SFTBY - SoftBank
EXC - Exelon Corporation

A few jumped out as being hyped by that WallStreetBets Reddit crowd for being heavily shorted.

My favorite is Apple - bought them at $15 (based on the current price - I bought them 2 or 3 splits ago)

I bought GME at $40 and did not hold at $270.
I do this with a lot of wall street bets stocks.
I do not have diamond hands, but I do have diamonds worth of money in my account.

I got plug at 2.67 and holding. They will hit close to 130 I think in the next 2 years.

I would agree. Short sellers betting this company would go to zero 0$ .

I only invest in the S & P and a couple other indexes.
Long term it's a better bet than buying/trading individual stocks IMHO.

Best strategy ever.

For most S&P500 (VOO, VFIAX, TAKE YOUR PICK) or Total Market.

The problem with the S&P and DOW is that for the most part they are so high in cost most can not afford it. Yes on some sites you can buy a fractional share and that's nice. Eventually you will get a dividend worth it. But it make take forever. So buy fractional shares but also look for other options.

There are plenty of other options to buy into that will also grow with dividends and a lot faster for less investment.

You just need to check and watch your investments and change when needed.

Good stuff!

Sad but true...

LOL - All my green stocks lost about 8-12 months of gains over the last 3 weeks. I'm glad I got in early and dont plan on selling for many years.

I bought Intel below $50, I think the risk is low with growing demand of chips.

Most agree (I dont have Intel stocks because I dont have time to understand the sector)

I think the simplest strategy is to just buy, say a little once a month during your life.

Certainly. Less risk. I suggest you VTI too.
