I want to make some adjustments on my positions. I want to sell and buy some stocks. I also have a couple questions. Sorry if it seems disorganized.
I was looking at some dividend stocks for income as well as some growth stocks. I am a long term investor. Some that I was looking at are:
MCD – I own 10 shares. Think I will buy another 20 and keep adding more. I believe MCD will continue to do well.
NYL – 15% div.
S&P SPYDR dividend stock
PG
YUM
KO
WMT – I own COST, but WMT will also be around and pays good div.
More Microsoft
How do you think these companies will do and do you think they are good picks?
I already have cheveron. I was looking at adding like XOM or EXC.
What would be a good way to get into the booming metal market? Gold, silver, copper, steel? I hear CMC is good
We know helium will soon all be gone and cost a lot. How can I take advantage of this?
Should I buy a dividend stock I want now, or wait for the dip just before they pay out the div? Why does it dip just before a company pays the div?
Some of the stocks I was looking into selling are:
I bought EEB after reading that the south American economy is supposed to boom in the future. It is up 17% since OCT 2009. The current value is a little over 900.
VGT – I got this so that I didn’t have to buy into the different tech stocks like aapl, Microsoft, google. I have 3000 here and it is up 16%. Moving slowly this year. Keep it or sell it?
One of my problems is I own FMCC. When I try to sell it, the bid is half of what the market price is. It is only a $50 market value, but should I just take the hit and sell it so I can write off the loss on taxes?
My positions as of a week or so ago are: 38k market value
In order of market value. High to low. PQ is the last one with a current value over 1000. Next ones are close.
