Been busy in the first few days of January 2025. Sold my position in $Redwire Corp.(RDW)$ because i own $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ And there is alot of overlap. Brought into $Globalstar(GSAT)$ With the profits because rklb launches their satellites and it's backed by apple. So its a similar play to owning $AST SpaceMobile, Inc.(ASTS)$ but with asts trading at over 10x that of gsat, gsat looks cheap and asts looks expensive.
In other moves, ive increased my position in $Trinity Capital Inc.(TRIN)$, MAIN, GLAD, GAIN, and a number of other long held dividend stocks, and will continue to do so this month as funds permit. My thesis here is simple. They give me cash every month and are not volatile. The growth stocks i own are highly volatile. Its not uncommon for me to wake up in the morning and see my $50k portfolio down $4k or conversely up $4k. Today it was up as much as $7.8k.
Im a carpenter by trade, and i realise that my portfolio has turned into a very flash apartment complex with very small foundations. Thats not a good look for me. My portfolio was up just over 1000 percent in 2024 due to growth stocks. Beautiful yes, but also frustrating because huge gains one day become huge losses the next day, on paper.
So am i taking profits on the growth stocks to buy more foundational stocks? No, thats just silly, because they are far from done yet. Instead, im just holding the growth and using margin and liquidity to buy more dividend stocks.
Will this strategy work? Well i guess the proof will be in the pudding come December 2025. Will i make over 1000% this year too? Its a very high benchmark given that last year i was in the top 1% of all tiger traders. I'm going to be more cautious this year. But also have reflected on my approach last year. And will rinse and repeat my successes. I will be buying way more calls on growth stocks and selling some to excise others with the profits, but these calls will be leaps, based on when very positive news is likely to be imminent.
Im not being that specific regarding which stocks will go nuts this year, because I cannot predict the market. But if you follow me, you will be the first to know. Well the first to know my thoughts, but you should not base any investment decision on one person's thoughts. Investigate for yourself, draw your own conclusions.
Im betting on RKLB big time, then SOFI, then... well still working on the others. Got in on both of those cheap. Now they are not cheap, but the upside is still huge. Average cost for rklb is $4.32, for sofi its just over $9. I still have leap calls i can excise on both, it will raise my cost on both a bit, but there is no rush.
I have small positions in paypal, global star, spotifi, and panantir. The latter two are expensive, the former two look cheap. But my positions are small for a reason... i have enough confidence to pull the buy trigger on all four, but not enough conviction to go in hard.
Happy new year everyone, may all your tiger trades be rewarding
