On top of everything else I mentioned, I'm coming down with a cold.

Pulling I lol'd when I read the title and heard some of the remarks. This was a great vid that 99% investors never bother to discuss. 'Losses.'
ReplyDeleteI don't know how Mr. Market will react to any of the noise going on so I don't really bother trading. I will try to get into stocks with a decent yield that pay me to hold them. When their yield falls its usually due to big jumps in the share price, time for me to get out and go for something else. Maybe its yield-chasing, I don't know but its been working for me.
I still think you made a great move to PSEC and don't want you to jinx it (haha) but if it falls dramatically I will happily cost-average down on my shares.
Yeah gotta keep some powder dry for the pullbacks. Accounts as large as the Effort Portfolio have problems with multiple purchases into a position.
DeleteI think I found my energy company to replace the empty slot that ERF was in.... VNR. They are an MLP so some tax complications but they seem to be focuses heavily on stability vs random dividends of some of the MLPS.
