The 2023 Stock Market Thread

Check your calendars damnit, it ain't 22 anymore! :flipoff2: I'm happy with my RY stocks on the TSX. Still planning to keep for another 20 years.

continuation of the above for the new year :beer:

Started off by taking my chastizing to heart from the end of the last thread. Closed my 2 USB call options expiring ~2 weeks from now for ~110% gain, good enough.

my 1 share of COIN hit the trailing stop and sold for $168, i'll happily take my $10 for a week of time :rasta:

Starting account value $10.2k which is setting me up for some high risk downfall.

Overall, took a while and I didn't get to spend the time that I'd wanted making trades and staying on top of stuff but it worked out.

edit: couldn't keep well enough alone, picked up 100 shares of HFWA with my proceeds. If nothing else, 4.5% dividend. I do believe that being a smaller regional bank means they will trend much more safely with the broad "banking revival" that I am expecting through winter and into spring. So, we'll see what happens there. If it goes up 15% over the next 3 months i'll be happy. far too little volume to be comfortable attempting an option contract

Moving most of my investments into dividend producers. I'm still working, so most are on a DRIP program, but a couple pay cash only.

currently i've got:

The stable and higher yield in my account 27% of total value

OKE at 5.4%
SPH at 7.3%
EPD at 7.5%

less stable and lower yield at 40% of total value, which should really be very stable and low yield

BP at 4.6%
USB at 4.5%
HFWA at 4.1%
WFC at 2.8%

and the remaining third of account value is options and random whims for entertainment and volatility purposes

i finished the year at 24%, but i was down over 50% 4 months ago. down 3% or so today, rolling the dice again.

yeah, it was both a wild drop in fall and a zany rally to end the year.

looking forward to 24 being a stable start and hopefully the "all hell breaks loose" end of the world will be pushed off into august-october or whenever election season is :laughing:
 
I finished 23 with about a 4% gain overall , that didn't even keep up inflation :homer:. I don't have time to day trade, so everything is pretty conservative. We should find by the end of Q2 if this is a new bull market or a bear market rally.

I look at how long their dividend has been consistently paying out. If it's 7%+ and has been doing that for a few decades, that's what I want. As a bonus, the stock prices are usually low, so you can buy a lot of shares.

I have some extra cash to spend on stocks. Suggestions?

Time Frame? Degree of risk?

Standard suggestion, dribble this into ETF's, SPY and QQQ's if your time frame is anything more than 12 months.

Set it and forget it. Because let's be honest, if you are coming to IBB for stock picks, I have to wonder if you are really "investing" or are you just gambling?

If you tell me you have several million tucked away in your IRA and investment accounts, and this is purely lotto money, I am sure I can give you some stocks that will get those gambling instincts going.
 
I have my stable growth stuff. Im looking for some risky high reward type stuff

lost a lotta money on ETP around the time they split into ET

I don't think they were paying reliable dividends for a long time

I 100% agree with this. My 401k is in SPY. 60% of my individual investment account is in VOO and QQQ. The other 40% is in some stocks. OVERALL I probably only have about 20% of my total in individual stocks.
 
Might just turn it in for the year.

Took time off the market from before Xmas to Monday. In 4 days I have made more money than the entire year of 2022 (not hard I was 6 figures red). Doubt too many of you pay to go to work for a whole year. Thank goodness I have some side gigs. :lmao::lmao:

Pretty much all trading SPX just with much improved risk management and a whole dose of patience.

Lotto trade for tomorrow is BAC options spread. They report earnings before the bell. Loaded to the gills on penny trades. Hero or zero trade with max risk defined.

Did not like the fall in the bond market. Have significant amount of treasury notes expiring starting tomorrow and in a bit of a quandary as to what I want to do.

Cannot follow my own boilerplate advice about dribbling it into ETFs as I have some big bills ahead as the shop comes to fruition and plan to pay (mostly) cash.
 
just checked, i've lots 6% on my HFWA stuff from a week ago, BUT that is way better than the ~20% I would've lost had I left them in the USB option contract :laughing: I can call that a win, regardless :rasta:

banking has decided to softly drop instead of softly raise or remain level like I'd hoped the fundamentals support :laughing:

I'm watching BA after the door failure. If it drops to around 215, I might buy some. It is down around 15% from mid-December.

I'm also still a big believer in CCL.

Well, BA dropped big again today as the bad news gets worse. Now at 201.
 
Still holding this small gamble on ENB… she’s almost in the money. It dropped a bit by the end of the day.

I was too greedy in 2021-22 and it bit me in ass. I am still down 4% but concentrating on investing in smart plays.

TFSA:

VFV.TO is on my radar (USA tech coverage)
CNQ.TO (CNQ for nyse)

RRSP:
I want to increase my position in Snap-On
I would like to find another good USA growth stock with a small dividend like Snap-On. Maybe O’reilly Autoparts

I fucked myself with AMC… a few weed plays and will tax harvest those this year. Can’t sell AMC because it’s inside my TFSA and I’m better off letting it ride to zero at this point…

I think we pull back here, then one more mega ripping run up into summer. Odds are still pretty low for a soft landing, and the feds the only thing that matters right now. This markets last run up was crazy, but very narrow.

I was hoping this would be how month 3 looks instead of month 1 :laughing:

Oh well, let's see where it goes
 
Anyone here have a recommendation for a nice monthly divy payer? Maybe in the real estate sector which I am currently not in?

RE is a bit rough right now. But I do have a position in Starwood (STWD). I like the company and the management. Div yield is 9.5%. (Div is not monthly though. Not aware of any stocks that have monthly divs. Probably need a mutual fund, either open or closed end for that)

There are a few monthly divy payers after doing a small dive into it yesterday. I don’t have any money to dump into my self managed retirement account anyway since I just paid for our trip to Mexico.
 
GameStop.
Just kidding.
I rolled my stock funds into treasuries last fall.
 
i was down 25% in january till today. RUM put a sell order in at 4.61, it went up 5% more in a few minutes. shit still going!
