The Long Term Buy & Hold Investing Thread
- Thread starter Kal El
- Start date
I sold my position at a loss in March for $121
I held on to it for a minute before I sold but it just wasn’t moving
Long term I still believe it will be difficult for them to be profitable in the future even with their podcast acquisitions
Now if they buy out SiriusXM....
Question specifically for this thread:
What do yall do for your long term positions during Earnings Report? I've got 3-4 coming up in my portfolio.... Do you lock in some gains? Buy puts for downside protection? Do you just assume it's going to go higher or are you content with whatever happens because you are in it for the long haul?

How do dentists feel about SDC, is it a disruptor?I’m long SQ AAPL and WMT. I don’t ever see myself selling AAPL
My worst performer is MO but I’m only holding for the fed legalization of weed
General dentists don’t have a problem with it, it’s the Orthodontists that do because it cuts them out.
It’s definitely a disruptor
That's pretty much it for me. If I believe in the company for long-term I'm investing regularly like I would if it was an index fund.
Long term for me is 7-10 years. Keep in mind I'm 43...so when I get to be 50 or so I'm going to start minimizing my risk.
I'm going to recommend Investopedia.com...you can start with this article: How to make a winning long-term stock pick
The general common rule is a company with a solid history of maintaining a profitability, a reasonably low p/e ratio and pays dividends.
I Know This Is A Long Shot To Ask But Anyone Here Ever Buy Music Royalties?
I think the question should be asked is, what do you guys consider a long-term. 7-10 years for me (or until early 50s age). Once you hit your 50s I think you should start reconsidering your allocations.
That said, here are some holdings that I plan on keeping for the next 20 years or until retirement age.
Individual stocks. All are dividend paying stocks that I still see around in 20 years:
Duke Energy
Exxon
McDonald's
AT&T
ETFs/Index Fund:
QQQ ETF (Has good percentage of FAANG and Microsoft).
Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund
Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund

Couple changes since I made the thread. Added TSLA. Also added SE, TDOC, and MGM on dips. Sold V. Took another gamble with WKHS and betting they get part of the upcoming USPS contract. Missed the boat on SQ

One month update:
Index/Mutual Funds - [401k / HSA / Regular Vanguard Account]
LIVKX (Most of my money is in here)
[New] VOO - Purchased 8/5
VSMAX
VSMPX
VTIAX
VFIFX
- I am switching HSA providers for a greater investment selection. I had to liquidate my existing positions (VSMAX, VSMPX, VTIAX).
- Switched from VFIFX to VOO so that I can set a stop loss instead of having to actively manage the position.
Individual stocks [Roth IRA]
[New] TWTR - Purchased 8/6
[New] FCEL - Purchased 8/6
WTRH - Purchased 6/23Exited 7/24
OMI - Purchased 7/7Stopped out
GRWG - Purchased 7/7Stopped out
- Switched brokers for my IRA (eTrade -> ThinkOrSwim). ThinkOrSwim is just a better platform for my trading strategy.
- I exited the position but WTRH is easily my biggest winner ever in my Roth IRA. Lost track of the exact winnings since my cost basis was screwed up when I changed brokers but I think I made 10x what I risked.
- The majority of my Roth IRA is in cash doing jack shyt. I think I should allocate maybe 50% to a general benchmark ETF like QQQ, and staple a trail stop on it to lock in gains.
