Hello everyone......I have yet to do anything today.....I woke up thinking I should be a seller, but waited to see the developement......Stock are mixed, but trending higher..... Thought about dollar costing CNTF this morning when It was down more than 10%....I didn't and now it's up 2%....Nice buying opportunity....Missed one.... I just saw a nice move on ININ just a 20 minutes ago....I will post a graph... Good turn around going on and I am just fine with that.... Hot movers I DON'T OWN, but are on my watch list.......HBX, ININ, IIP, GNBT(Day after Day), HEB(Day after DAy), RMTI, AVNC, CBMX, FNET, RMBS, ISV, HL
CoolWEb I do not believe That I am outperforming because of my diversification......Any portfolio over 25 stocks in any one market should eliminate the same amount of Firm Specific Risk as a portfolio of 150 stocks in that same market.....I am also a very risk adverse Investor (mostly because of my age) so for me to only have 4 to 6 positions, My portfolio would deviate too much daily for me to feel comfortable.....It also would be extreme vulnerable to each of the firms individual risk along with overall market risk.... I believe I have nice hedges set up....IE...Airliners/Oil trust (daily correlation is negative, but both trend higher over the long haul).....China/Japan and Asia(Correlation is not negative, but many times china does well when Japan/Asia does not and Vice Versa with the trend of both being higher)....... I will also say I try to have a few positions in each country....To eliminate a little Firm Specific Risk in those markets.....I have recently been trying to make 1 or 2 good trades a day (If i feel very comfortable I may put 2 % of my portfolio in the trade and Pull out half when I have a nice little small return....This lowers initial cost of position that is still sitting in account and helps my daily yield) I Always Keep a healthy cash position To Dollar Cost my position If I still feel it's a long term hold or quick bounce back up...
Back to the companies I bought on Friday that reported Monday.... 4 had better than expected or in line, But PTR was a little weak and countered with a better guidance!!!! PVH-(Big Winner)+9.36% today (Up 12% since purchase) BBA-(Nice Earnings)+5.2% today PTR-(Best long term hold---Buffet owns 5% of this one) +2.61% CNTF- (Went on sale this morning)+3.6% WMS- (Great report, but it was a sell the news)-1.14% Today I have CHAP and CMC CMC--Very good report(+7.1%) CHAP- After Bell
As far as your PAAS purchase, how do you feel about silver bullion itself. I have about 2700 ozs I have been purchasing over the last three years and needless to say I am happy with what it has done so far. Do you, would you own metal outright? T
I feel that demand for silver will only get greater as it use in Tech. applications is increasing... This Silver ETF was greatly opposed to those who use it in their products....They know that demand for this ETF will reduce the supply available for use and push prices higher......Silver rallies to 22 yr high today......And the ETF hasn't even bought up an ounce..... I love the fact you anticipated a bull market in metals 3 years ago and bought yourself a nice size position in SILVER!!!!!BOOYA to you.... SIL, PAAS, SLW just a few US silver stocks I'm familiar with.... I should of also bought SIL....It looks like this one is making the real move....
What are your current positions? It seems you are still holding a lot of stocks even though you cleared out quite a lot of your portfolio to cash
