I’m not even going to pretend I’m qualified to know what’s the best park and fly options.

I’m just looking to buy a few stocks and let them ride as a spin off of actual managed brokerage account.

Looking to put $500 or so ever few weeks into it.

Thanks.

Just buy FAANG + Microsoft

FAANG being Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google
I add Microsoft as well. Not sure why they don’t get put in that except that it doesn’t sound as good

I went on a fun ride with Games Workshop (GMWKF). I've gone from $90/share to $120 (nigh-high) over two months. Wish I had bought it when the market fell off, it was at $45. Honestly, I figured a luxury good wouldn't do that well.

With the NASDAQ hitting another record high (mainly a result of about 6 mega-cap tech stocks because the NASDAQ is market cap weighted) and with the market as a whole almost totally dependent on the 24 hour news cycle, it's difficult to pick a winner right now. At least for me it is.

If you held a gun to my head and said buy something or you pull the trigger, I'd probably go with buying a broad market index ETF or mutual fund.

But if you said I have to select an individual stock, I'd probably buy a low beta utility stock paying a good dividend, like Entergy, for example.

Second choice would be a best in breed bank such as JPM.

Auph if you want a good speculative stock in pharmaceuticals

Shll/hyliion if you want a boom or bust in transportation

Vanguard total stock market index if you want an investment instead of a speculative stock

I bought VISTA and OLIN today. Purely a gamble on earnings tomorrow morning based on the gigantic ammo sales number.

And I bought Garmin a month or so ago.

RUTH has me intrigued. I put it on my watch list.

As it is low now it was very solid with restaurants in it's lineup.

Things start to open up I think it'll be a good investment.

I also like Sasol, but only until they announce theybhave sold their partnership into their ethylene project here in my backyard. After that it will be stagnant.

Especially after they just went into talks about using a solar farm to power two of their facilities overseas. Again getting out of their wheelhouse.

I bought more AAPL and AMZN. Seriously though, is there anything other than an internal scandal to derail these companies from double digit growth for the next 20 years? The Justice Department breaking them up?

Things I bought this year as a buy and hold:
CONE
D
LTC
KEY
I drip the divs on them and have owned all for about 3-5 years. I added to them all in the last 2 months on dips.
