Guys, I'm not talking about individual stocks - obviously if we were going to do that we would just pick the best performing one in the past and it would be any index. I'm talking about fund type things. To see if we can see whether anyone can put together 2, 3 or 4 tickers that can beat the QQQ with hopefully lower drawdown that sort of thing. And as far as how long I will run the test, I will go back to the earliest point in time when all the securities you post (and the QQQ) existed to make the test as long as possible in each case. Gotta run to go eat, but should be able to run a few and post later tonight. Thanks!
Are you drunk or something? That is EXACTLY what you asked for... Here's the title of the thread, as it stand, as of this time stamp... "OK, give me your 2, 3 or 4 securities (stocks, CEFs, ETFs) that long term you think would do best" You have pissed me off because you are changing the parameters of your request as time goes on, which means your exercise is going to serve no purpose. So you are wasting everyone's time. If you admit you were drunk or stoned when you posted this thread, I'll give you a pass. Otherwise, your retort about no individual stock tickers is reprehensible, because we gave you just what you were looking for. Stop wasting everyone's time, man, and work on a journal of YOUR own trades. Make yourself useful and catalog the real money you have made on your prescient calls with a blotter, man.
I think I'd prefer WMT or TGT over COST in that retail space.Maybe even Academy Sports and Outdoors(ASO). People in the south love their huntin and fishin!
MCD lol.... It's way over-rated. Everyone thinks it's "safe". And compared to some stocks, it probably is. But $273 is good for a 5% drop easy. $258 is in the cards by January. Use $276 for an entry. And yes @Overnight... we all know you don't trade stocks... the comment was not 4 u.
AMZN and COST.... dollar average in on the bear market over the next year and see where you are in 2-3 years. These two are stars of the consumer discretionary and staple sectors IMHO. AMAZ struggling at below $100 but in 2-3 years could be double easily. COST is always crowded...always busy...always selling products...and now gas.
Dude, the guy asked for a long-term trade that had a good risk reward ratio compared to drawdowns. The stock survived the COVID crunch, the Ukraine invasion, and the inflation crazy. If this chart of McD does not show it, then I don't understand stocks, or charts, or anything about low-risk trades in the long term... That's from the pre-covid peak until now. The thing is up 60 points since then! How terrible is that drawdown?!? Sheesh!
