Reccomend some buy and hold stocks
Posted on 7/15/15 at 11:25 am
Posted on 7/15/15 at 11:25 am
I opened up my first trading account today with TD Ameritrade. I already have a Roth IRA that I'm maxing out and a 401k which I'm receiving the company match.
But I wanted to start buying and holding stocks with money which I currently have sitting in savings. I have a sum saved up which I'm comfortable with for an emergency fund. I want to invest amounts over this instead of holding it in savings.
I'm 25 and new to investing. My Roth and 401k consist of mutual funds and not individual stocks. I want to use this account to let my investments grow and learn more about investing along the way- no better way to learn than firsthand.
I'm going to start small, $500-$1,000. I don't plan on actively trading until I have a firmer understanding of concepts and the market.
I was thinking Disney for my first buy.

Exxon
XOM
Setup a DRIP (Divident REinvestment).
Trading around $83 right now, down from 52 week high of $104.xx. Good time to dump some money into them.

I'm giving oil stocks a bit more time.
Iran and let a lot of the shale production get used up and then things should swing back up again. Also once OPEC lays the frick off.

It was a life goal of mine to compile such a list last summer. I narrowed it to this. For what it's worth, I'm not sure about BP and I'd cross Century Link off the list. Not sure about Hewlett Packard either.

I'm just a bit older than you but recently started doing something similar. Been putting $300/month or so into a Vanguard index fund. These track a particular market or group of stocks instead of individual stocks. The good part about the Vanguard funds is that they're passively managed and therefore have very small management fees (like 0.05%).
I'm currently investing in VOO (S&P Index Fund), but I'm thinking about moving to VTI (a little broader based). I do think you have to put in a minimum of $3,000 to start, but I've been pretty happy with it. They'll let you auto deposit money from a checking or savings account into a money market fund (on a regular schedule). You can then buy from there.
It's a solid way to get some returns without having to manage it too heavily.

Im thinking about getting into SHAK now that the buzz has worn off. Anybody else looking at them now? Back in the mid to high 40s. Got all the way up to mid 90s not long ago before coming back down.

I just bought some CAT to buy and hold. They have steadily increased their dividend and it looks to have potential for growth also.

Just curious why you left Nestle, Kroger and Chipotle off your list? Is it just not updated? Do you track their dividends?

KR is on my watch list, but yes I haven't updated that list in almost a year.
Nestle is Nestle...Chipotle?? Is it the next McDonald's?
IMO it's still too young to be buy and hold material. It's not a dividend champion by any stretch.

Just curious. I got in on Kroger right before the split. I'm in the CPG industry and really like their diversity/what they do. They've really leaned up and gotten their heads around most of their business. I'm looking at Wal Mart again, their grocery delivery is getting rave reviews from what I hear. Just don't see theme very going anywhere with the mentality that is engrained in that company.
I mean considering how young it is, that would be pretty damn stellar/meteoric.
Not sure you said that with negative connotation or not.
I bought some simply because they will have to split it at some point. It's not really a capital intensive business.

GILD. I think it'll reach $150 this year barring a stock market correction getting in the way.
JPM. They didn't even need the bailout from the mortgage crisis. They were only compelled to take it so that the other banks, especially smaller ones, would fall in line. It's well run and has one of, if not the, best bank CEOs in the industry. It'll benefit from interest rate increases.
BRK/B (or A if you can afford it, but I doubt you can
). Obviously well run, diversified, and provides insurance exposure, which will also benefit from interest rate increases.
AAPL. I don't care for AAPL or their products, but I'm not going to bet against the crowd; I don't want to be trampled.
MSFT. I think this could hit $50 by the end of the year, barring correction. Dividend isn't bad, either.
LL (but not right now). They've taken some strong hits this year, but I believe they will eventually recover. When their earnings start to recover and/or any lawsuits clear, I think I'll buy this.
After a stock market crash/correction, F may be a good buy. Remember that they are a cyclical, so shorting now wouldn't be a bad idea, and then go long when the market goes down.

I really like Kroger. I'd love to buy some.

Thanks for your insight Omada.
My cost basis on Ford is around $15.50
For some reason I picked it as a dividend stock. I hope to buy a good bit more if it dips below $14 again. What should I know about it being cyclical?

Peter Lynch described Ford, and other car manufacturers, to be cyclical in his book One Up on Wall Street. But they aren't cyclical in the usual sense; most cyclicals have higher revenues and profits during a certain part of the year. Rather, car manufacturers are cyclical like the market. They suffer when the market goes down because people become frugal and don't buy new vehicles, and when the economy gets good again, people start buying lots of new vehicles.
My personal opinion, which could be very wrong, is that we are beginning to see a downtrend for car manufacturers. Whether that is due to a market correction coming or the economy not really improving, I can't say. But it seems that those companies are great to buy when the market is down and sell when it is booming.

Good points. I don't know why I've never thought of that.

Ford's price movement has been super lackluster.
Even if you bought a shitload in 09 and sold at the high, you really wouldn't have made that much?
I think it's a buy and hold and thats it. Just do a DRIP on it and buy more back as it dips cyclically.
Just my opinion though.
