Birchtree's Account Talk

I picked up another stock split. Trinity Ind (TRN) is doing a 2/1 of 6-19. That means I'll be buying even more with lower golden prices. I'm expecting even more stock splits this year and each one is special for the longer term. It seems my growth comes in waves - just got to be patient and let the waves return. I made some negatory comments about the restrictions placed on premium members - I mean like who really cares about those strategies - I'm not spending my money on those - but for those that do, well best to you.
 
Well it looks like more pain in the S fund and that may help me climb the tracker - that's been the plan for this year. Just sit tight with the proper allocation and let the good times come. I have a nice flock of dividends rolling in for next week and I always like golden prices so bring on the pain. Now if the stock splits begin to rack up I'll be giddy.
 
I'm going to ride the small cap rebellion down because 90% of my oceanic account is tied to small caps and many of them pay nice dividends so bring on the damage and give me golden prices. The more shares I can collect in this down cycle the better my income stream for years into the future. It's a short term sacrifice for a longer term comfort. I'm holding to my buy and hold strategy and this too shall pass eventually - I only hope the pain will last into June where I have 105 dividends waiting to buy.
 
I collected another 2/1 stock split yesterdat that I wasn't even aware of: TREX. Looking for many more to arrive so I can take opportunity to dollar cost average into. Gotta keep the oil circulating to prevent rust.
 
"Somewhere along the way, you should learn to invest and stop depending on others to make money for you. You may not be a pro, but for the pro's you pay, it's just a job. They lose half of your savings in a day and go home and sleep like a baby. Investing is not rocket science. There are many ways to do it. Pick one that suits you and get good at it."

Follow these three rules, and retire comfortably - MarketWatch

I collect 876 dividends during the year and already have 77 dividend increase announcements ytd - it's all on autopilot - I just collect the income and it's automatically reinvested. I have about 300 stocks in my Birchtree 300 portfolio so some don't even pay dividends - but I'm working on getting 1000 dividends to provide an income stream as I ride into retirement. It's such a very simple system but very comfortable for years to come.
 
Well it was a give back week but still important nonetheless: -$25K, -$63K, +$39K, -$25K, +$28K for a give back of -$46K. I'm now -$20K in the hole for the month so far - but better days are ahead. My growing dividends are helping to keep me afloat. There are two markets under way here. There's all that isn't froth, and those stocks are holding up quite well while froth gets hit day after day without mercy. It might be time to look at some FUEL at $21.98 down from around $61.
 
I have arount 15 dividends due on Friday, so if the market would just propitiate and allow my access to golden prices that would be purrfect - but with my luck we'll probably be in the middle of a raging bullish stampede - and that's fine too. When prices are golden dividends buy more shares and the next time around the dividend payout is a wee larger. Everyone seems to be anticipating a sideways to quiet summer - that's when the upside explosion may come. Just be prepared for anything to happen.
 
I believe this read has been previously posted, but it's so interesting just in case some have missed it. June would be a purrfect month for a selloff.

"The longer stocks advance without some serious selling to slice away the excessive greed and complacency that rising markets breed, the greater the odds of an imminent selloff."

Well then just bring it - I'm not going anywhere. I'll be a buyer all the way down. Perhaps with a close to a 10% consolidayion in the R2K it's already passed.
 
How about coal companies. They can export all they can dig. All the old mines have opened. I just know from common sense there is going to be a very strong rebound in coal stocks - the question is when will the market realize this reality. Until then they remain on sale in the throw away bin - just where I like to shop.
 
It would appear that the fair value dirty rats held back big time on the I fund yesterday - but no care because it will return with a vengeance at some point in the next few days.
 
There are still so many nonbelievers in this bull market - that's just the way it's supposed to happen. If you don't buy'em now they will only cost more months from now.
 
You better sit down. "If the market simply performed according to the average modern day bull markets, it would last another 3 1/2 years and rise 74%, So let the Chicken Littles, the RMI permabears and the nathering nabobs of negativity tell you why the bull market is over. If history is our guide, the bull still has a lot more gains to give us."

"This stocks stealth bull market is one of the greatest bull markets in history."

"Investors that followed a disciplined approach in 1994 were rewarded with a 37% gain in stocks." Here comes 2014.

"The peak in the stock market comes around the time of the yield curve inversion, ahead of the recession and accompanying downturn in corporate profits. Fed members do not expect to raise rates above 3% until sometime in 2017, at the earliest."

Bear market won’t come until the yield curve says so: Kleintop - The Tell - MarketWatch
