I'll always be grateful to this board for helping me get where I am today. I think I followed Dabum here, from some swing-trading or energy-related board, before he turned to soup and fled to SA (g). Which led to reading Lowell Miller's book a few times, the David Fish (RIP) spreadsheet, and many other useful resources.
I'm a great advocate of "don't just do something, sit there" when it comes to investing, and strongly feel this is one of an individual investor's greatest advantages over the pro's: make a small number of quality decisions, and then just leave well enough alone. More activity, more decisions, more trading, will generally lead to some poor decisions along the way.
So I could post real-time what I'm doing, but that would be months and months of no trades. I'm not really here looking for new stock ideas, and I do try and refrain from commenting on those where I have no interest (although I did compose a few "WTF are you thinking???" posts in my head when some of you were hot on TIS <g>).
Here are the tickers I own, I expect the list to be the same a year from now, perhaps minus VIAB if/when they re-merge with CBS:
| ABT | | BAC | | BAC-PL | | BBL | | BDX | | BF-B | | BP | | BRK-B | | C | | CL | | CLX | | CONE | | CVX | | D | | DE | | DEO | | DLR | | DUK | | GIS | | HSY | | IBM | | IIM | | JNJ | | KMI | | MA | | MCD | | MSFT | | NAD | | NKE | | O | | PAYX | | PEP | | PG | | PM | | RDS-B | | SBUX | | SJM | | SO | | TXN | | V | | VIAB | | VTI | | WEC | | WPC | | XOM |
If I lose my mind and go all in on a Chinese Crypto-cannabis Casino IPO, I'll be sure to post it here first! |
