$Main Street Capital(MAIN)$ so it's a dividend stock. Pretty much all my dividend stocks have been rubbish this year. But still better than money in a bank account. I invest in dividend stocks cause they give me cash flow and are not volatile. Unlike my growth stocks that are extremely volatile in the short term, but give significant returns. I trade with margins so the dividend stocks have saved me from margin calls numerous times. 

My philosophy is simple, it's like the very old fable. The tortoise and the hare. Place money on the tortoise, it's slow, but it's steady. So it's safer. The hare might get there fast with a 10x in under a year, but it could easily crash and burn. 

Then again, nothing is truly Safe. All investments have risk. I think the best risk management tool is knowledge. Know absolutely everything you can about a stock. Over time this knowledge will create your wealth. 

Getting close to 1200 tigers following me now, thank you all. I love this platform. Last year was easy, this year has been tuff. But I like tuff, cause tuff teaches discipline. 

All I want from Santa this year is more money to invest, cause there's bargains out there right now. Happy holidays:)
