Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 All this talk about the Dow up this, S+P up that, buy oil stocks now... Thought I'd start a thread to gain a few tips from some of the investors on the forum, what companies have yielded the most profit, or consistent yield (dividend or structure) ? 💰💰💰💰 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Greatly reduced my portfolio years ago. Tefron (oil transportation) Eddie Bauer (outdoor wear) Ford (no bailout auto company) Faired well for me in the past, to name a few. List em up!

I don't really know too much about the market. All I can tell you is that it's a LONG TERM INVESTMENT option. The only advice I can give you is to find solid companies that pay good dividends. DIVERSIFICATION is key!!! Don't panic when the market drops, don't sell!! Don't try to play it day by day, week by week. Let the fucking portfolio sit and smolder for year after year, with DIVIDEND- REINVESTMENT. Don't invest if you can't stand the corrections/ crashes. Let the advisers or your account manager pick the stocks for you, if you aren't sure what you want. There is ALWAYS a risk involved with the market.........ALWAYS. However, when it's going good, you can make money literally for sitting on your ass. An adviser can tell you how to manage your portfolio regarding RISK LEVEL. Younger people invest AGGRESSIVELY, older people invest with LOWER RISK. Call a brokerage house and ask to meet with an advisor, they should be able to answer all your questions, and set you up with a neat little account. I have to say, there is nothing like logging on to your account at night, and seeing that you made numerous dollar bills. You can also LOSE those dollar bills, but GENERALLY-SPEAKING the market is good for about a 10% per year growth. This past year with Trump-Head it has been about 20%. Good luck.

For almost TEN years all I basically made was about 5%. This was due to the DIVIDENDS, not the price of the stocks going up. This past year the STOCK PRICES went up, and my portfolio really mushroomed. I don't know how much longer it will continue, I'm thinking about another 12 months. Could be more, could be less. We have a lot of geo-political serious issues facing us, so anything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I don't even remember what I am in. I know I have some blackrock mutual funds, I own Procter and Gamble and have for a long time, Chevron, and I just bought Amazon. Wish I would have bought Amazon sooner. I'll have to look up the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some financial institutions want 250K min so they can advise you on how to struggle to beat inflation. I look at 3 and 5 year, as one year really means nothing.

The only part making gains are the equity portion unless you are into high yield (junk bonds), other wise you might as well have a 40% cash position. Most institutions target 4% for high wealth clients, meeting/exceeding the benchmark index is off the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 I apologize if my op was unclear. I'm was looking into playing with some stocks in the open market, similar to the ones I mentioned above. Wanted to know if anyone else has messed around with E-trade type stocks.
