Would love to hear what everyone is buying, holding and selling on a regular basis. Don't just stick to blue chip stocks!

Right now, I'm intrigued by
  • Accuray
  • Aurora Cannabis
  • iShares Currency Hedged JPX-Nikkei 400 ETF
Also trying to be patient with Fitbit and Delphi Technologies.

Just opened an account last week so I can buy/sell shares actually. My first purchase was 100 shares of Aurora cannabis.
 
Been researching about Bitcoin/crypto for the last few months. Crypto enthusiasts basically all say that the Federal Reserve is evil and they print money to invest in stocks, hence the forthcoming recession. I bought some Bitcoin and hodling it.

Buying Vanguard S&P 500 ETF or any similar index of theirs seems to be the easiest way to make money in stocks.
 
If I had any sense about investing, I'd be doing it. Instead I've leave it to my wife, (who actually studied in school).

That said, I've only made gains when buying the most volatile shit on the market.
 
Where was that one dude who used to run there investing threads? Haven't seen him for a while.

About a year ago I finally agreed that passive investing is the best for the US equity markets. The 'market' beats 4 out of 5 managers. I sold all my US stocks except Brk.b and bought VOO in US$.

My Canadian investments are in individual stocks, a lot of oil & gas and financials, some others such as Maply Leaf Foods and Rogers Communications.

I am 100% in equity markets. Fixed income offers nothing but safety at this point. 5 years bond yield needs to hit a minimum of 3.5% for fixed to even to be close to worth thinking about.

There are some lingering concerns about Canadian Cannabis and impending legislation along with supply/demand concerns, but I'm going to play it out.

I've seen close to an 11% gain since buying Aurora.

Risky bet. I don't want this to be a crypto thread. But the short story is that it's a speculation tool. Not an investment tool.

Safe bet

I would strongly encourage you to have your wife explain everthing to you.

  1. Both of you need to know what's going on, if you're both investing.
  2. If your relationship should ever go sour (heaven forbid) she won't be able to hide things from you
  3. If she gets sick or dies, you will know your options
  4. If you both develop contrasting plans for retirement, you will know your options
  5. You can make your investing mirror your values and world outlook.

What exactly is Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, is it a listing of stocks?

Interesting perspective. I don't agree when it comes to dumping all American stocks. But investing in Birkshire and VOO are obviously safe bets in today's economy.

3.5% return is nice. What's the minimum for kind of return?
 
I’ve been putting off opening an investment account to buy ETF’s for months now. Currently all my investments are in mutual funds. Would rather pay less fees with ETF’s though.

I also have a couple hundred oz. of silver that I’ve accumulated over the last 10 years that I want to offload.

Try Robinhood or Acorns?

I dumped US stocks to purchase VOO. All funds stayed in the US equity market. I'm glad you understadn brk.b. Last time I posted that I got 2 or 3 sherbors calling me out b/c they did not realize there was a cheaper brk.
 
bought 10 more shares of TSLA when it collapsed to 260 on Friday planning to wait and see if it sank further this week but FML Elon made a deal with the SEC and the stock came roaring back today. Thought he'd have a drawn out trial with tons of bad press for great opportunities to buy TSLA at huge discounts.
 
I'm just curious how many of you are talking about your retirement accounts or taxable accounts? People love to talk about trading and individual stock, but what about your goals?

Anyone want to share how much they put into retirement for themselves (or including spouse), because I see many out there looking for short term gains, but not do nearly enough in their retirement accounts.

I have some friends that invest in 4-5 different individual stock/bonds/commodity, but put barely anything to nothing in their 401k or IRA.
