On April 29 I sold the following holdings as they had either reached or exceeded the 5% gain threshold: 1. Match the Market: Growth 2. Match the Market: Value 3. Match the Market After the funds settle I will determine the profits, put half the profits in O and repurchase the 3 ETF's again compounding my profits. I'll add an update on this post when I do these things. UPDATE May 1, 2020 7:30AM This first image is of the total funds of each sale made on Wed the 29th. Image two shows the realized profits from each sale made on Wed the 29th. Image three shows the repurchase of each ETF using the entire original purchase funds as well as half the profits they each individually made. The other half of the profits went into Realty Income Corp, which is also included in the image. Friday evening update: Have a great weekend and God bless!

Here we go! The STASH account is ready to go. Before going further with this post please go read " A Brief Explanation " first. Here is the plan though it may change. I plan to keep a minimum of 5 ETF's and/or stocks at all times in this account. The only time there will not be 5 is after I have sold some and I'm waiting for the funds to settle so that I can repurchase what I've sold, compounding the returns(profits), or purchase other investment products. I really plan to keep this simple by sticking with S&P 500 ETF's and REIT's that pay a monthly dividend. I will be selling my ETF's and stock once they reach 5% or more gains. I will put half of the profits into my REIT, which at this time is ticker symbol O Realty Income Corp. This way I am compounding my returns and increasing my dividend income. I will also be placing my dividends that I receive from the other ETF's and stocks into O. All of this is subject to change. If so, I'll expl...

In my last post I talked about swing trading and how it can be used to increase your portfolio value over time. I showed a few ideas on just how even a small amount of money in your portfolio can make a huge impact in your financial future.  I was once given the example of how water can be used used to split a rock if it is used correctly. If you place a giant boulder under a water tower and then open a valve under the tank of the tower and release all the water at once you will have a very wet and unsplit boulder. However, if you only crack open the valve enough to allow one drip at a time to fall and hit the rock over a much longer period of time the same amount of water will eventually cut through the rock splitting it into two pieces. My point? It is not how much big stuff you do that makes the greatest change, it is how much consistent small efforts you do with laser focus on the goal that brings the most amazing results.  Below is an example of just how that lit...

In a nutshell Swing Trading is best described as buying a stock or ETF(Exchange Traded Fund), holding it for a short amount of time, and selling it for small to large gains. It is similar to day-trading except that day traders buy and sell a stock within the same business day. Swing traders buy a stock on one day and at least hold it until the next day hoping to capture better returns on a more stable stock. As a swing trader you are looking for companies who's stock is already in a rather consistent and steady uptrend. Meaning its value is constantly moving up over the long term having only slight pullbacks from time to time.  Checkout the chart below. It is one of my favorite stocks to swing trade, or as I like to say, FLIP. You know, just like you would do as a real estate investor. You would buy a property, fix it up a bit, wait for the value to go up, and sell it for a profit. That's called flipping houses. We are flipping stocks but we don't have to "fix...

I am a novice trader at best. I am in no way trying to advise you on which stocks or funds to buy and sell. My only purpose in presenting you with my trades and investments is to give someone a little hope and courage to believe that they too can make money in the stock market. Many in my generation (currently 52 years old) grew up with the idea that the stock market was only for the extremely wealthy. This is simply not true, and with today's technology absolutely anyone with $5 in their bank account can start trading and investing. And if I can show you how simple it is to actually profit from it I hope you will click on one of the images for either Robinhood or STASH, create an account, and later when you too are earning money let me know that it was me who inspired you to get started. That is the purpose of this blog. My plan moving forward is as follows. I have both a Robinhood trading account and a STASH investment account. They are similar in that you can invest or trade ...

Are you prepared financially? I don’t think most people realize how big of a number 1 trillion dollars is. Here is a little illustration. If you earned 1$ a second how long would it take to make a trillion $? Ok If I paid you 1$ a second you would earn $86k a day! Awesome right? Making $86,000 a day it would take about 11 days to earn your first million dollars. Sweet! A millionaire in a little over a week! Still earning $86,000 a day you would earn your 1st billion dollars in about 30 years. Ouch. That took a while. Well what about a trillion? Earning $86,000 every single day it would only take 32000 years to earn a trillion... Multiply that by 6 and that is how much money the fed has printed out of thin air in about a month. We will see massive inflation from this. This is the greatest time in history to begin investing in and trading stocks. It is not difficult! It is not gambling once you learn a few things needed to understand a stock chart and a balance sheet. Th...
