Bought BIL,TPSC, WDC and am watching NVDA and may just sell and take profits. I have other stocks in the TECH sector. DG, BALL and SQM are big losers for me. Once they get below .5% of portfolio I will sell then watch them go up naturally. Good to s…
7/17/24 Looks like profit taking today for Tech and a few others. Utilities I have were on both sides of the trades. Energy positive while Industrials negative. Lost all gains of yesterday and then some.
I should lighten up on my TECH stocks, especially NVDA. Tech is 10% of portfolio even with selling 1/4 of my NVDA shares recently. I will hold for now because no place to put it. No other sector looks like a good place to go with new monies. Utiliti…
IMO neither candidate is fit for Presidential office. Why is it that there are no viable candidates on either side. Too much media scrutiny? Lies and half truths about the potential candidates? Apathy? Voters not thinking for themselves. Or maybe ju…
I am watching my Tech stocks as they are +10% of portfolio. How long can they keep going up. NVDA and AVGO lead the way for me. Do you take profit or not?
I have 40+ stocks in a stock/bond portfolio. Cash/ bonds are at 25%. NVDA started at 1% of portfolio and is now at 4%. Gain for the year as a whole is +12%. Tech and Utilities lead the way. I am pleased with stocks only so far and was lucky on a few…
I will share my bond portion as of today. My target is 25% of portfolio. RPHYX (9%),Cash(6%),SNGVX (2%),STIP (2%),TPHAX(3%). I may add to exisiting funds or add Crash's favorite of old PTIAX.
No emerging markets or International for me. My US stocks/MF's give me enough International exposure. Been there done that with OARIX, MAPTX, TEDMX and others. All high flyers in their day.
One thing I have noticed is when selling a stock at Schwab the proceeds are immediately available for trade. Not so at Fidelity, make take 2-3 days for settlement.
Crash, When I look at BRUFX it is easy to see why the under performance of late. No TECH and overweight Utilities and healthcare. The former doing great and the latter not so. Don't be surprised if you see a turnaround in the near future.
A few stocks I have to go along with WABAC 's list. All YTD. MKS +21,VST+18,URI, PH, and EW all up 13+. Thats TECH, Utilities, Industrials and Health Care. Not all about the MAG 7.
Utilities are 10% of portfolio so a rotation to this sector would be nice. Most utility stocks I own are positive for the last 3 months, negative for the last 12 months.Thankfully Tech and Industrials have kept things going in a positive direction.
If I am a cautious investor then maybe I should reduce my holdings in NVDA. I also have AVGO, another chip maker with other parts to its business. Maybe I don't need both?
I have had NVDA since 8/22. Sold 1/3 of it in 4/23 since it was over my 3% max for individual stock. We are over that limit again. What to do? YTD +2.5%.
I switched to stocks from mutual funds after I retired. Don't post much because of that. I have 9% of portfolio in Tech stocks having bought both AVGO and NVDA plus four other stocks in late summer of 2022.
