Just being invested and/or putting cash into stocks was a great move in March. Most of the tech type stocks we mentioned in here were up even more. My IRA is my biggest account by a lot and it's the easiest to check returns on since my taxable accounts have had investments/payments. It's up 191% since the March bottom, which for me was 3/16-3/18.
We deployed 95% of the cash we had between 3/16 and 3/23 and still added more following the bottom.
I have been on a little vacation from this site the past two months.
I did an about face on DIS at $151.
I did a massive deep dig before they issued their guidance which is what has propelled the stock to these new all time highs. Remember I had owned DIS since 1995. We took massive massive profits in 2020 and also rebought it in the low 80’s and sold again at the 120’s. I was highly bearish at that point. And unfortunately was given a 2 month time out here (never had that happen before.....and never will again) and was unable to communicate my buy signal at 150 and change. My target on the stock is now $300 over the next 18-24 months. This is all based on the 180 they have taken in their business model. That was the research we had been doing with intellectual capitol we have at our disposal before it hit the street.
Anyway we have been back in at $151.25 to be exact. Was I wrong to exit in the 120’s? No not for my situation. We made a massive amount fo money. So I gave up an additional 20% upside. But that’s ok. We are long again. No body is perfect. I was able to re-evaluate and get back in. Wish I had been able to post here when I did.
I really really hope everyone picked up some BLDP when I was able to post about that one and it was around 15-16 bucks a share. I LOVE THAT COMPANY AS A MASSIVE PLAY ON HYDROGEN power cells. A real deal company.
MDU I also LOVE!!!!!! Boring utility with massive assets and sources of revenue. And a 3% yield to boot.
Also buy AMT and Emergent Bio Solutions. (EBS). Those are the buys I have now.
I would expect a pull back 1st quarter 2021 in this frothy market. The tech stocks have run like gang busters. We are due for a breather here. Remember one to three 5-7% corrections in a given year are pretty common. Even a 10% correction almost every year is par for the course.
2020 was a personal record year for me and I have zero to complain about.
I can easily see a sideways market in 2021. Yield is crucial for long term investors in sideway markets.
We did our year end tax harvesting and are sitting on anywhere from 12-15% cash right now. The rest is fully invested.
Personally I am 95% invested and 5% cash. Not concerned about the markets long term.
The master list has done amazingly well. That was a once in 10 year event folks. The back the truck up moment since March 2009.
Happy to be back. Happy New Year and happy investing. I will chime in when I see opportunity. And answer questions when I can as usual.
