I'd be quite interested to know what stocks you don't like out of such mainstream, well-known stocks and why? I'd love to hear your thoughts on what stocks you avoid out of the arch. :)
How to collect profits if you are holding for the long term? I feel stupid for asking this, but maybe someone here can give me a clear answer. I'm sure others are wondering the same thing. The stock market is pretty hot today and you would like to take profits. But are you doing it?
If you want to go long term and hold for longer, why would you take profits? And even if you do,... Read more
This is something I ask myself from time to time. It's hard, because I never know what's coming. But mostly I just shop low and hold. If I know it's a quality company and I see potential in it, I hold and don't sell. After all, for me, long-term investing is the best method and it's really not about whether or not I take profits and I don't sell when the stock is down 20% and vice versa. Of course, there are some stocks where I would probably take that profit.
Investors, how do you feel about $MC.PA and $CDI.PA? I find them to be a great investment, but the price tag is quite high, luxury brands whether clothing, alcohol, etc. will be with us forever and having customers from the 1% richest people in the world has its benefits too. How do you view these stocks? Do you own them?
It's a great business and I would love to include $MC.PA stock in my portfolio, but the stock is currently expensive. Thus, I will wait for some downside.
What stocks do you think are the best opportunities in the current market situation, despite the fact that there are a lot of overpriced titles? I'd love to be inspired and take a peek, throw in the comments with tips on stocks that seem super priced to you!
I'm looking at a little late, but I haven't looked at the results yet, so thanks for the recap. I can't judge whether it turned out positively or negatively as I don't invest in Tesla.
I know the market obviously can't keep rising at the same rate it is now forever, but I was just talking to someone and realized how potentially close that time is. If the SP 500 index maintained a 10% growth rate for the next 50 years, the US stock market would be worth approximately $4.7 quadrillion. If the economy maintains the same growth rate now ...

This is a very bad look. Firstly, because the value of the dollar and the vast majority of fiat currencies has been declining for a long time, and secondly, because the SP500 has perhaps the largest volume of investment globally.
In general, the value of stocks will generally stop rising when investors are selling more stocks than they are buying. There may be many reasons for this, but none of them are very likely, or may well give rise to counter-arguments. As for investing for retirement, this may also be one of the reasons why people are betting on dividend-paying stocks. If Altria, for example, generates 8% a year from dividends, sustainably and over the long term, then I can be happy, even if share prices don't rise. At the same time, in theory, I may not mind even in a downturn, as long as I plan to just suck dividends out of the company, and those dividends are sustainable over the long term. Generally in investing I see growth investments, but where it is important to take profits early, then hedge some of the profits in dividend funds (ideally dividend ETFs for diversification), and try to multiply the rest somewhere else. Alternatively, play around more in general, as there are companies on the markets now that have great valuations and growth potential. You just have to look and not just follow the mainstream so much.
Another factor for hedging in retirement is that one should diversify the portfolio in general and into more assets.
Given the emotions and investing, what about you and covid? When the covid epidemic hit, how did you behave? For example, I remember watching the charts and not believing my eyes day after day, but I was not yet invested in the markets, did you buy any titles at great prices or sell at a loss? Show off your moves during these times :)
At this time, probably mainly due to my laziness, I was not yet on the market. Maybe it's a good thing, because I would have probably jumped in headfirst and maybe any losses would have discouraged me from investing.
It seems to me now that even with the iPhone nothing new is happening, the last generations are actually exactly the same. It's similar with Siri, it's been around for how many years and there's hardly been an upgrade, with this one I feel like Apple slept a little bit. Then they come out with crap like their own car...
Investors, are you using debt to your advantage and how? Debt is a very dangerous tool, but listening to Robert Kyosaki, who has long seen debt as a form of net, non-taxable money, it makes me wonder if anyone is operating debt/investment here. We are all certainly familiar with debt in the form of a mortgage, which is generally regarded as ¨good debt¨ but if one were lucky... Read more
If a person wants to cram more money into investments at a particular time and the repayment will not exceed the amount of his average monthly investment, then this is a great tool. Especially if there is the use of the exchange rate (see the current krone/dollar exchange rate) and the devaluation of money and debt by inflation.
I've heard several times that we should only own stocks that we would own for the rest of our lives with peace of mind, so I'm wondering what one stock you consider to be a "lifetime stock"? I'm sure we all have our favourite, which is yours that you can never let go of? :)
Peter Lynch, a famous and successful investor, a legend in the world of investing, what are his views that he stands by and should every investor know and follow? :)
14 - I totally agree with this and I would say that too many investors are clinging to a distant future that is unclear to everyone anyway. And I need to work on 12 myself. 😁
It amazes me how few people invest in the stock market... Given how important it is to keep your savings up with inflation, it never ceases to amaze me how few people actually invest or even know how to do it or why they should do it.
It's a real shame and Czech education is one of the things that annoys me the most. I definitely think investment should be taught in schools, as not every student is lucky enough to have their parents teach them and explain it to them. After all, by using DCA in ETFs, one can make a really nice profit and appreciation in 20 years.
