Well Done MM !!!!!!
Most people Invest in Stock Portfolios as a Buy and Hold Strategy !!! or to make a quick Killing.
In my opinion, one should look at a Portofolio, to use a Metaphor as a garden of Beautiful Flowering Plants that bear fruit when carefully nurtured and looked after like pruning, fertilizing, etc.
The same way with a Portfolio to succeed you need to pick up 10-20 Value Stocks and buy and sell the same stocks when they go down and up, using Technical Analysis like Fibonnacci and Elliot Wave.

Good Luck !!!!!!!

Before Everything tanked, I was making 25%-30% gain on my Siemens Stocks and was able to cash out before the crash and end my Siemens employment also, juct got lucky on the timing.

For some reason I missed your post for the rent v own thing, glad I caught it, and really helped me get my perspective right. I’d rather invest my money somewhere else than buy another real estate property in the Philippines. I’d admit I didn’t know it wasn’t tax deductible like it is here in the states. Shame on me. I’d just buy a place there when I’m ready to go live there fulltime and do business. My folks still got a house and a farmland so I could always stay there whenever I visit (though they haven’t lived there neither for deacades)

Hmm haven’t read that rent v own bit. I’m renting now and damn lucky I am with the way the economy is. At least I can sleep at night knowing I don’t have to worry about a mortgage.

can’t agree more with ariel. no jobs = unstable economy. with the dow getting close to 10,000 again i think it’s just superficial. i’m still on the sideline watching and waiting.
can’t really trust the current administration
