Gold miners looked to have bottom in early Jan. Price action looking promising, esp the juniors

 

[Chiron]

Strong ytd performance for the miners, esp Feb. US stock market also looking to break new high

 

[Chiron]

GC and miners probably will pull back next week to consolidate. Looking at QQQ options as a play for the Nasdaq.

USA Stocks discussion - 2015

Realised that most people are only doing Singapore Stocks.

I am diversifying and dabbling in American stocks, hope to share with more likeminded people here...

American stocks is 100 shares per lot.
(though some brokerage allows odd unit, but I just stick to my Interactive Broker to buy/sell american stocks, as I want to sell options on my USA stocks too)

Picked or picking up these (i have not bought all these stocks, just looking around)

Apple Stocks - AAPL
Reason - Apple Pay, Apply Watch, and the last quarter sales of iphone 6

Disney Stocks DIS
Reason- The new starwars going to be a money-spinner

Horton works HDP
Reason - big data is getting more important

FXCM - FXCM
Reason - small punts. It was devasted by the swiss currency tsunami, and I am wondering if a revival alike Citibank is in the near future...

 

[Perisher]

Am a active investor in US stocks, I hold AAPL and DIS. Won't mention the others.
I think AAPL and DIS still have big potential ahead barring any catastrophe happening in the market. Check out GILD too.

Anyway, I can buy 1 share, and afaik buying 1 share is the norm, buying min 100 isn't.
I use scb but I exchanged my USD when it was still 1.2+

 

[Bedokian]

AAPL and BRKB.

VEA from NYSE for exposure to other parts of the world.

Will be looking at SPY and GOOG if I have additional funds. I set my portfolio as 10 to 15% for overseas holdings.

FXCM - maybe they might do a "LVS"?

Uhm, share your other pickings if it is not too personal?
Good to hear you also holding AAPL and DIS.

really? i tot 100 shares is standard size. hmm.
anyway i doing 100 coz i tend to sell covered calls on my USA stocks.

though im a bit overleveraged, IB give 200% leverage so I actually holding more stocks than my capital inside.....

 

[Perisher]

I don't mind sharing, but it's so ridiculously diversified, it won't make sense to show hand... I'm lazy anyway.
The bigger positions and a few words...

JNJ steady riser
AAPL on the rise
BRKB always up
DIS on the rise, looks good for a long time
MAIN monthly div plus yearly special div
KO hold
MO steady riser
PEP rising
BLK speculative
O monthly div
MSFT rising
LEG rising
BA rising
OHI rising
GILD big potential

and alot of others... I'm trimming, haha.
Bonus, use seeking alpha, damn good.

Btw, you do covered calls, so you are more pro than me already. I'm just pure long, cut loss.

 

[wahkao3]

my current position

1) small bank
2) insurance company
3) utilities company

oh! u are definitely healthy in diversifying... meaning u really buy 1 or 2 per stocks those kind?
wah! steady!!


ok will read seekingalpha more.. a bit tired sometimes reading it

and covered call is REALLY easy.
no big deal. key is the broker.. just get IB or TOS (thinkorswim) and any stock u have, just sell the covered call.

nothing to it.

im collecting a few tens of dollars per 2 weeks on my AAPL stocks just to sell at a price that I am happy at.

 

[Perisher]

Haha, been thinking of starting IB, coz of it's cheap comm, and spot currency exchange. But don't think I trade big enough to cover the min fees. Need 100k to avoid the min trade comm fees right?
