I like growth and dividend, PE around 20-ish. Rather than buy more of existing holdings I'd like to add something new.

I tend to hold for years.

Are you buying or watching anything? TIA

Also, thinking about selling my Altria. Good move?

I just bought some Altria for my father's account last week. Stock does not move much but almost a 6% Dividend yield.

Also buying on SQ and PINS. Wish I had caught the BeyondMeat craze early

So why PINS? Just curious as to the reasoning. Thanks.

I’m not an expert, but looking at their earnings report, they had good growth in the US and internationally. They reduced their costs, but not by the amount analysts were projecting, so their stock price is down today. Pinterest has a very good model for Ad revenue, their interface makes ads fit in seamlessly. That makes their ad revenue pretty high. They’ve barely monetized the international market, so very few ads for them, but that should increase in the future

Basically I like their trends, their model, and their path to long term growth. As opposed to similar new IPOs like Uber and Lyft, which we’ve been hearing bad things about their model since well before they went public. But Pinterest is a long term play

Edit: and people use Pinterest to buy stuff more than other social media. A lot of the women I know that use it are buying things. That helps ad revenue grow for sure

Since January it's gone from above 70 to low 50's. I think the vape thing or juul could, for the first time, make MO something not own.

If you make 6%, but it drops by 10% ...

LUCRF
Lucara Diamond Mining Company
pays a dividend 6-7%, consistently produces huge diamonds.
The above is not what will drive the stock price.

quote:

Clara Diamond Solutions (Clara) is a secure, digital sales platform that uses proprietary analytics together with cloud and blockchain technologies to modernize the existing diamond supply chain, driving efficiencies, unlocking value and ensuring diamond provenance from mine to finger.


Lucara

The sale of diamonds from the mine to the finger today is still the same as it was 100-125 years ago when DeBeers set up the "Sites". Clara is designed to bypass all of the intermediate sales that take place from the Site holder to the jeweler.
