Off-Topic Stock Market & Crypto Discussion

Figure an update for the year. That post is from February 2023

Top positions:
1) TSLA - Elon continues to keep his mouth open, but can’t wait for Cybertruck results.
2) MSFT- safest stock in the market next to Apple
3) NVDA - what a year!
4)AAPL - it’s Apple. Nuff said
5) NTDOF - the Disney of our generation- Mario movie a success. Intellectual property for this company is insane.

6)Google- time to possibly accumulate more under $130
7) BA- long term holder, waiting for dividend reestabilshment
8)AMZN- it’s amazon. Still accumulating shares. Preferably under $130
9) ABBV - 5% divy, yes please.
10)DWAC -Trump2024!

11) DIS - go woke, go broke
12)TTD- great year.
13)ISRG - davinci robot monopoly
14)Netflix- bought the dip
15)Shopify- e-commerce that takes advantage of the little guys.
16)AMAT - chips need chipmaking equipment
17)ABNB- still holding and accumulating, but still in the red.
18)Oracle- loaded up 15% of position. Been in it since before cerner acquisition.
19)WMT- slow and steady. Would love to add sub $135
20) sbux - added some last week after 10-11 red days in a row. :)
21)DE
22) TGT
23)Sony
24) AMD
25) HD
26) Dexcom
27) Uber

those account for 80% of my portfolio.


Honorable mentions- ATVI -longterm holder got bought out by Microsoft over 20% gain.

sold Adobe today for more oracle. Sold some meta for more oracle.

Positions with under 1% of portfolio, NOW, Costco, jpm, Axp, salesforce, ASML, arm, Nike, pins, crowdstrike, Cisco, meli, path, meta
small positions but have been solid. Have quite a bit more but overall it accounts for less than 20% of my stock portfolio.

After this circlejerk of 2023 it’s looking like a good area to take a little profit, but sometimes it’s easier said than done.

For those who read all this. Cheers

Evidence from Dec 12th.

It’s still AI driving the techs..
I did well with weight loss..LLY
And I’m not selling in 2024.
Dip buys from last month have been good. VZ/oracle.
Tesla has been lagging which is why I’m thinking it’s ready to run soon.
 
I’m looking for personal to upgrade. Don’t want to pay the property taxes but don’t see housing drop more than 10%- 15%. 800k for a house on 5 acres that needs 100k… just been waiting a couple years and losing patience 😂

I'm also looking for a new primary to go along with new rentals. Having some good luck finding off-market deals. Closing on one rental and hope to land a new off-market primary.

As for the stock market, I would like to buy in but I think it is difficult to see a path to big growth with rate cuts likely in 2024.

Care to elaborate on off-market deals?

Small Caps should be big winners this year?
 
Off-market deals-
You either do all the work to find them with marketing services. Mostly looking at $0 transfers(death), none owner occupied, and just randomly finding people.

Or
You network with wholesalers, look at foreclosure attorney websites for sales, have a large network…


Small cap- I already have a ton of “risk” with real estate so I am ok getting 5.5% from treasuries/CDs while I wait for the market to reset(if it does) or for me to be more comfortable with my positions

Thanks, the more info the better.

I couldn't find any properties that fit my criteria in a certain area. So, I cold called properties I was interested in, that were on the market in the past, but were pulled for whatever reason. I closed on a property with the owner and he wasn't even contemplating selling at that point.
