Well, maybe I should have just jumped instead of asking. I’m sure it’ll be bouncing around for a while. Just wondering if anyone else is seeing some solid opportunities.
Oh, I hear ya. I'm singing the same tune.
Think it’s mainly because higher rates are due to the expectation of higher inflation. Higher inflation reduces the value of future money. A lot of the companies getting slammed are those who don’t have much in the way of earnings now and their valuation is based solely on their future earnings......the value of which is being reduced.
Can't they just raise their prices on their pretend sales? Everyone else is raising prices.
This dog will be 4000 a share by year end lol!!!Just a note that I told you guys to sell this BowWow long before Todem did.
I am in that group (+204%) but I just can’t bring myself to do it. Every day it sits in this 3000-3300 range I want to, but it is like giving up on a family member or something. Harder, actually. I’ve given up on some family lol.
I hadn't realized earnings were yesterday until I saw it getting beat up this morning. Will want to look through their first real public report later. Already have a fairly big exposure with all the appreciation my initial stock/warrants.
I honestly don’t think this is the time for diversification when the names you mention are down 15-20% and the rotation names are at all time highs. Also tech weights should be much better now that they are down and the rotation names are up. Basically I think that ship sailed
Don’t know if I agree there. Growth has outperformed value for a long time. The move to value stocks should last a lot longer than a couple months.
Just basic valuation. The present value of future free cash flow goes down when the interest rate you discount it at goes up.
There is nothing wrong with selling half.....and diversifying your portfolio for the long term.
I am going to respectively disagree. The ship has sailed on a short term trade. Not on a long term hold based on forward multiples, dividend growth and more importantly risk management of your overall portfolio. I am sure there are a lot of people heavily concentrated in the big tech names and they are up well over 175-300% depending when they got in. I am not going to sit and say wait to get back 15% when you have a clear opportunity to cash in some of those profits and lower your overall risk and also diversify your portfolio so you get a smoother ride moving forward. Part of being a long term investor is making sure you do not allow your portfolio to drift into a place where APPL, AMZN, GOOGL etc become 20% plus holdings in your overall portfolio. I am more conservative I guess than most in being disciplined to rebalance and trim after stocks have taken monster moves and I have held them for multiple years. Some will say bahhhhh humbug AAPL will never go down. Maybe so. But when it has that 20-30% down move (because it has in the past and it will again) and 25-30% of your portfolio is in that stock....oooof. You will get very upset, maybe have anxiety and also make some brutal bad decisions in a panic when your seeing your nest egg drop like a rock during times of extreme volatility in some names that you would consider household. And it happens across all sectors, make no mistake. But mitigating that high standard deviation (implied volatility) can go a long way to better financial health long term and also....yield, yield, yield. I like to have at least 3% yield in my large cap portfolio. That dividend compounding is the golden ticket to sustainable long term wealth.
Yes....great long term dividend plays. Growth will be highly limited. But those are great income plays in the overall portfolio. The compounding alone on those stocks will be a nice long term investment.
Do you have an updated version of "The List" that you posted at the first of the year?
I have one dog in my retirement in $SRE. With the list above, how would you recommend approaching reallocation? Currently in that retirement IRA is allocated in SRE (10%) GOOGL (10%), AMZN (30%), BA (10%), MSFT (20%), and WMT (20%)
It sounds like, from the transcript, they have basically doubled their plans for the facility they are building in Georgia. This raises additional questions about how it will be funded (either debt or dilution would be my guess).
Thanks. I understand the concern but it seems like too much demand is a great long term problem to have.
Would it change your approach at all if you hadn't hit capital gains yet?
In my case, no way I trim before long term gains at this point. In mid February knowing how much they’d drop, sure, but for me, long term gains are way less than short term that I wouldn’t want to lose 20-25% just by selling it now. The chance that you make that up is too risky compared to knowing you lose it IMHO. It all depends on your taxes. Just remember that any short term capital gains will be taxed at you highest tax bracket as it’s added on to income and may even bump some into the next bracket.
Just a note - PFE is at the same level it was at in 1998, dividends included. I don't see their ability to reward shareholders changing.
I had no idea you had this going on. Sincere thoughts and prayers for you and your daughter.
Almost bought into a company which donated dog treats, bed, cage, etc for my daughter's make a wish this week. Just checked in and it's up 9% AH. (Chewy / $CHWY)
PFE at least could be considered a stable, bond type investment with 4% yield. I'm not buying, but it's not a horrible idea.
She's good now, a St jude's nurse submitted her for it. But she's doing incredibly now. To the point we almost felt guilty accepting. But it's now our third go to charity.
Its earnings day for chewy

I wouldn't feel bad. Good friend of mine was in about the same situation. His kid, with Down's, contracted leukemia. Child did really well and is still doing great (and is now an adult). He got a make a wish and spent an afternoon with Garth Brooks (who evidently was absolutely awesome with him).
It hasn't gone anywhere in almost 25 years with dividends included. All kinds of oof there. In that space I'd choose JNJ every time.
He threw a baseball around with the child and evidently got approached by a lot of folks (not surprising), but politely declined all of those to give that child his wish. Definitely a good guy.
