So, i believe the biggest issue fundamental investors have is the information they rely on. Often, more often than you think, it's actually wrong, or sometimes it's just calculated in a way you didn't realise. I will use two cases to illustrate, from one investor class... the dividend investor. I look at data every day, and dividend investors are looking for consistent and growing company dividend over time. Personally I want a dividend stock to be doing both. At least once a week, information about the stock I invest in is actually wrong. #arcc last week for eg on one site told me it paid a dividend of only 3 cents per share during 2 quarters of last year, totally wrong. Checking other sources quickly confirmed it to be totally wrong. Moral of the story... don't trust one source of data,

I'd quit my day job yes, travel the world but continue to invest and grow my wealth 

I would just enjoy meeting him and shaking his hand. His books have answer all of my questions over the years so I would just like to acknowledge the legacy he has created 

$NextEra Energy Partners LP(NEP)$ Ok so this stock is a utility company pays a nice and tasty dividend and has dropped recently making tue dividend even more tasty. Why did it drop you ask? Because it announced that due to sustained High interest rates, it would not be able to increase its dividend until interest rates come down.  Seriously! It got hammered by the market for announcing not that it would reduce its dividend, but that it just won't be able to increase it as it has done every year for years. But hey, if you engage your brain (not the one between your legs guys) well the share price drop effectively is a dividend increase, so its definitely on my buy list. Its what i Call a dividend engine, it powers my entire portfolio with cold

Sounds like a ploy by brokers to get more income. Why would you sell anything if you have sound investments 

I'm kinda all in at the mo, so no spare cash to buy much at all sadly. I am single so maybe I could sell my body on the street to raise a few dollars, but being a male in my early 50s, I don't rate my chances. But if I did have some spare cash, I'd be buying more of the businesses I already invest in that have dipped. Why? Because I understand them. For example $Arbor(ABR)$ has dipped, it's a property investment business, so the higher interest rate environment is impacting its price, but it's maintaining a great dividend yield of over 10%, and has a growing dividend. And interest rates will come down eventually. Buying the dip is an interesting concept to me because many of my stocks haven't actually dipped. I tend to use a counter cyclical approa

Yes would be my call but I recently sold all my $Alphabet(GOOG)$ stock, not because I don't think it's great but because I hold it in $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ it was a decision based on my circumstances, I had just over 50 individual stocks in my portfolio and it was getting to hard to keep an eye on them all. So decided I'd go to a few etfs so I could knock my portfolio back to a manageable number of stocks 

Yes the demo account is very useful for testing out theories. It has been extremely useful for me in particular with options trading. Buying a put vs selling a put, buying or selling a call for example. my understanding of buying a call for example was the first thing I tested. from what I had researched (and a lot of it was rather confusing) to buy a call means you believe the price of the underlying stock will go up over time. then it got really interesting as I brought calls at different strike prices, so far I have observed that the cheapest calls tend to be the ones with lower strike prices, that seems counterintuitive to me. But on thinking it through the lower the strike price the higher the premium. So if you go long as I do, I have to more upfront to secure something that doesn't

Ok so im going to Share one stock, not one to watch just today, but a long term good thing $Trinity Capital Inc.(TRIN)$ currently its trading at good value, considering it pays a solid and growing dividend around 14% I consider it like the foundations of a building. Yes its a dividend stock, and we all know cash is king. So buying into businesses that give you cashflow now and growing cashflow in the future are an essential part of a portfolio in my mind. The engine room of your portfolio iwould suggest. Solid management, solid strategy,and a proven track record.  My investment approach is to ignore the hype, Netflix, tesla, AI stocks, basically any stock that commentators crap on about on a daily basis are not for me. Id rather invest in com

$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ The market sometimes just lacks any reason $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ goes up on the back of terrible results, serious headwinds and a lot of bullshit about unproven products, while meta goes south on excellent performance and strong tailwinds. Meta is a buy for me

$RKLB 20260116 5.0 CALL$ brought these yesterday, another successful electron launch today after trading finished. Rocket lab has actually gone to the moon ( with a NASA payload), now just waiting for its stock price to do the same

$RKLB 20260116 5.0 CALL$ Expect big things from this play

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  A few other posts of mine have probably given you an idea that im not a fan of tesla, EVs and elton musk (but to be fair, i have never met elton, so its not fair for me to comment on him). But i do believe i need to justify my opinion on why I don't think Tesla is a winner. So, when i do due diligence on a stock, one of the most important components is to understand the industry. So im just going to discuss the robo Taxies for the mo, because thats "apparently" the savior for tesla going forward.  So i know a person that runs a taxi company. I asked her yesterday actually, what are be biggest issues for you business. Her reply was Maintainence costs on vehicles, regulation and staff. Ok so lets keep it a bit simple

$Gladstone Investment(GAIN)$ One of my fav dividend income stocks 

$TSLA 20241220 130.0 PUT$  Im betting on a looser ;) and winning, tesla all the way to $100

I tend to avoid the daily trending stocks, a mugs game in my opinion because you are just following the sheep. I prefer to seek out stocks that are cheap and pay a good steady and growing dividend 

DIGITAL CASH  Hmmm, so the reserve bank of New Zealand has just announced a new concept they are looking into... digital cash. What does this mean? Well i only just read the article, and for most of you that are not from tiny New Zealand you would be fair in saying, so what. Digital cash, it could be a possible serious threat to bitcoin, especially if other governments worldwide follow suit.  Im certainly not a conspiracy theorist, but bitcoindoes create a clear and present danger to a government's ability regarding the control of currency. I really don't know at this point how digital cash would actually manifest itself. I suppose i am just asking everyone, have you heard of the concept? Do you think it could impact on bitcoin If governments around the world bipassed b

When I first started investing in the late 1980's value investing was the thing, and my tendency toward that approach still remains. Buy It when it's cheap, when it's still got great fundamentals going forwards. Last year for example $Citigroup(C)$ $American Express(AXP)$ $NextEra Energy Partners LP(NEP)$ three no brainer buys for me, and are all up significantly. I am also a big fan of dividend stocks, and these three are all very good examples of great dividend stocks.  I hate the hype of Wall Street, to me to follow the commentary is like following a sheep. So I will not invest in companies like $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ T
