I really wish we could get a legit stock watch thread that held up as long as the penny stock thread. It's funny how the majority of people on MT roll their eyes at penny stocks, but nobody will discuss big name stocks for an extended period of time here it seems. Other than a few ticker symbols thrown out here and there, long stock threads tend to die out fairly quickly.
The longest I can remember was a thread maybe last year, when BigFella (I think his name was) was still around. He seemed to have alot to say about individual stocks with some pretty good analysis.
Maybe people don't want to give away their "babies", or maybe people just don't want to be wrong, who knows? But with the amount of financial intelligence on the MT I would love to hear some discussion on different companies to invest in. The penny stock thread is fun and entertaining, but I wish we had a legit investor thread that could stand the test of time.

This thread is a start. Just keep bumping it.
NXPI - I made a small fortune on this over the past couple of yrs. I kept adding on every dip and i believe it will continue to climb.

I like that chart.

The stock market never ceases to surprise me. One of my favorites, Lockheed Martin (LMT), dropped almost 3% today while the market was up. The only negative news I could find was that their backlog of orders dropped 4%. I probably missed news about something else. I’m going to put them back on my watch list.

To be fair, big name stocks are boring by nature. Nothing exciting about Phillip Morris, Coca-Cola, Exxon, and McDonalds.
Penny stock threads are a popular because everyone is trying to get rich quick and the volatility creates posts.

I benefit most from the posts where someone outlines their logic, fundamental or technical analysis. The posts that just give symbols are useless to me at least.

This being said I just purchased INTX entirely for its dividend yield, and I don't see much downside risk given its low pps. The risk is that it is somewhat leveraged and biometrics is not without competition.
I own a large position in CAK, and add to it. This is a risky play as the game here is which comes first, 14K BOD or their cash running out. The investment by PIC, and management's ability to operate the hostile parts of the globe that they operate in somewhat mitigate the risk.
Less risky and something I add to on a regular basis is CTF, which is a Nuveen long/short commodities pool fund. Some would consider this risky and leveraged, but some should learn to read and actually understand a balance sheet. In any event, they've been paying a decent yield for quite some time, their short positions are hedged and ratios are all good enough to not cause one too much concern I wouldn't think.
I am also long selected copper producers right now as a very long term strategy. Same reasoning I used when I went long natural gas when everyone else was short.
I am a silver bug and expect it to appreciate long term. I'm not suggesting everyone become bullish on precious metals, but I also beleive it is foolish to not own a percentage of physical metal in one's portfolio.
Finally I insure my entire portfolio's gains (equity portfolio) with precious metals as outlined above, and also with systematic selective purchases of call options on the VIX. If these purchases end up being profitable it mitigates any significant downturn, and if they expire worthless or close to worthless, this is the premium I pay to insure my gains of the last 29 years. I started buying stocks in a UGMA when I was 16, and I consider it foolish to watch the gains vanish when they are easily insurable.

True, but small and mid caps are indeed fun, interesting, and quite volatile. They can also make you a lot money. Not to mention the more volatile large caps such as FB, AMZN, and NFLX.

Exactly. Anyone can throw out a few tickers, but I'd like to see some good discussion about WHY you like or dislike the stock.
Also, different trading strategies used. Do you like looking at fundamentals, technicals, etc. Do you know something we don't? Do you work in the field?
Such discussion seems very sparse here.
