The Long Term Buy & Hold Investing Thread

[Kal El]

I see brehs discussing day trading options, and quick flips in the other investing threads. Some even admitting they don't even know what the hell they're doing. I don't see that ending well for a lot of folks.

This is for brehs in it for the long haul, who intend to buy and hold for the long term.


Here's my current positions -

Index/ETF's:
VTSAX
QQQ
VGT

Individual stocks:
AAPL
MSFT
V
FB

Short-Term Gambles (I know, I know, contradictory to the thread title, but this is a small percentage of my portfolio):
OPES
SHLL

Waiting for a good entry point to get in:
TSLA, SQ

As of now I’m researching the new Apple processor and 3rd party involvement.

That 37% TSLA jump would crush the buildings in your favor

Nice work man. What are your long term holdings?

Here is where I stand. I trade almost solely off of technicals though, so if the long term chart starts looking basura, I'm jumping ship with max indifference. If it looks great though, I'm working on staying in positions longer.

Index/Mutual Funds - [401k / HSA / Regular Vanguard Account]
LIVKX (Most of my money is in here)
VSMAX
VSMPX
VTIAX
VFIFX

Individual stocks [eTrade Roth IRA]
WTRH - Purchased 6/23
OMI - Purchased 7/7
GRWG - Purchased 7/7 (60% of my $ is in cash, but this is the largest stock position. I'm realizing when posting in this thread that I bought 2x what I wanted and so I am down 2x the $$ that I want to be. Barring a strong move higher at the open, I'll likely close the entire position out tomorrow)

RIOT

Spoiler

Personally, although I'd advise against it, I might liquidate all my positions and sit in cash if the markets start to head south in a major way. I did this in February and missed most of the recovery rally, so I can definitely get burned by doing it, but I don't have much faith on the US economy for the near future. I'd rather trust my gut and lose money than ignore my gut and lose money

Nice work man. What are your long term holdings?

TSLA
NVDA
CAKE
LVGO
NVAX
FSLY
CRUS

Shop has become a Long term hold for me
Twillio is growing pretty well
Uber and Lyft because they will age like wine imo
Wmt, target, & costco
Also etfs and index funds like the brehs above said

I sold SHOP at $800. big mistake.

I feel like it's ine of the most expensive stock now. Hope they crash so i can get in again.

My portfolio is way too aggressive. I gotta start getting into safer stocks. I was into dividend stocks, but i just couldnt let go of growth stocks.

Yeah I can see why you sold it
used to be a swing trading stock for me back in 2018 because it had clear rises and falls
but then I started looking into the company and realized It wasn't that bad of a platform


before February it kept staying under like $800 so I thought that was the ceiling too but after the corona drop, I was like and just went for the ride.
I'm kicking myself about not grabbing Telsa at $400 but we gotta just handle the L's to keep making more money

What's everyone's thoughts about Spotify for the long term?
I'm thinking it's replacing Radio in the next 10 years

I like Pfizer and Guardant Health....Pfizer looks like a good dividend stock with room for growth (more than just Viagra)

Guardant health I like b/c of the business of cancer biopsy screenings. Plenty of growth (unfortunately) in that field.
