Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wvar15: I've mostly been buying 13 week treasuries and cds, but added INTC and SWX yesterday. I only bought small amounts and will buy more if they drop. SWX has been one of my good trades this year. Bought at $69, sold at $89, and just bought at $59. INTC is so low I couldn't pass it up. I'll buy more if it hits $21. I'm watching GLDD, if it drops below $4 I'll buy. It's a dredging company that not followed by many, but I think it could see the $10 to $15 range again. Might be a couple years though I have been watching INTC for a while now. I may pick up just a few shares in the next few weeks so it will be on my "radar" for future purchases. In the next month one of my CD's and a t-bill will roll off into cash. At some point next year a larger purchase may be in order! |

But I just bought some in my wife's new IRA rollover brokerage account. It's all cash because it's new, so I have to invest some of it. So far I've bought AM, BHP, LPG, INTC, and T. (T has a dividend soon, might dump it after that).  But, all I'm buying for her are decent dividend, low P/E stuff. She told me to not go below 60% cash (for now). |

Today I bought 14 shares of INTC as my final investment for the year. This was mostly just to put this stock in one of my portfolios to keep it on my mind for consideration of possible future purchases. Like almost all of my stocks, I put INTC on DRIP.
I have generally two CD's that will mature each month during 2023, so I will be spending some of today making a list of stocks I don't own, to follow in 2023 for possible purchase. Currently that list includes UNP, ADP, NOC, CTVA, LLY, LOW, LMT and JNJ. I am not sure if I will buy stock with the cash from matured CD's, buy CD's again, or just hold cash for a while. It's been a long year for me, and I am glad it is almost over. Looking forward to starting 2023 with a positive attitude! |

Just an observation or data point, nothing more. Good friend of mine who is a stock broker told me that he has bought more CDs (now at 4.5% for 6 months) for his clients in the last couple of months than in his prior ten years.

Money has been moving to the sidelines (CD's/cash). At some point the flow of money will return to stocks driving a long-term bull market. Profits will be made by those who time the reverse correctly. Watching for a general increase in corporate profits should be an early sign of a better market to come. |

I have been on hold buying stocks for a while, except for dividend reinvestment's, however I stepped into the fire last Wednesday with a purchase of MSFT shares
to go with the Microsoft already owned. Microsoft is a long-term investment for me and I would expect that I will hold it to be inherited by relatives at some time years from now. I am still watching a number of other stocks, but I don't anticipate any purchases for at least a month or two. I am still watching corporate profits and PE ratios. |

Bought some TRGP late yesterday as I wanted to increase my holdings somewhat in the oil and gas industry. I have held this before and done well, but sold my shares and wished I hadn't, so now I am back in. I plan on holding these shares long-term.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By molar: It gets worse. 1.97% dividend with a 109% payout ratio 2.58% profit margin 192 M cash 11.26 B debt I doubt if it's paying out 109%. Those look like marketwatch #'s . I think it payed out 80 some percent in Q2. Which is pretty much normal for midstreams and MLP types. There are midstreams that pay a much higher dividend, but the payout ratio is still in the 80's. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Idolan: UWM is already the biggest mortgage lender in the country ( bigger than Rocket and every other bank ) Earnings are high because they can control the margins and the tighter the market gets with increasing rates the better it is for UWM as more and more small banks will close or have to cut staff which then hurts processing and underwriting speed. I can take a loan application tonight and by 1PM tomorrow have conditional underwriting approval and a call from the underwriter to review the items with me..Loan closings from application to the borrower getting the keys to their new home is regularly in 10-14 days. They are eating up market share and the only way to get a loan from them is with a mortgage broker. I am buying for the 10% now and reinvesting the dividends so during the next housing boom my investment is 2-4x Another good find from ARFCOM |

Over the last couple of months I have been continuing to purchase some stocks; UNH, AMAT, LMT, ORI, INTC, and UNP (before Norfolk train derailment
 ).Currently looking at purchasing some more 6-month treasury's next week depending on the rate. Still letting the DRIP's buy more stocks, but not anticipating any overall stock price increases until later this year, and may get a chance to buy some more stocks at reduced prices in the next few months. I hope history favors the brave. |

Just INTC lately. I've been buying when it hits the high 25 to low 26 range and selling when it crosses 30. Each buy I add 25 shares. Started at 100 and will be at 150 if this next GTC order goes through. I was trading Southwest gas also but I'm thinking that might have more downside risk now.
I'm considering trying a cash covered put on the next buy and a covered call on the next sell. I've never used options but seems like a way I might be able to squeeze some more money out and since I was going to buy and sell at those prices anyway no added risk. |

Bought Intel because of the Ohio plant under construction, CHINA/Taiwan, and chips look to me to be a growing industry. I didn't buy a large amount. I will hold long-term or until I find something I think is better that I don't own. |

ABML is a 10 year bet. Bought 500 shares a while back. If it goes back down to 50 cent range will load up some more. Or maybe not, who knows. 10 years is a long time for new technology to emerge to replace lithium. So it could go to 0 or $100 a share in 10 years who knows.
Bought 30 shares of FRC. That's just pure gambling. You could say I'm a pretty big player My HY shares are kicking ass right now, thanks for tipping me off on that one ARFCOM. Currently around $50 and if market doesn't shit itself, it should continue to grow earnings since pandemic is over and supply chain issues are phasing out. I expect it to slowly climb up to 80 and beyond in the next year. |

The only energy stock I currently own is TRGP that I bought a small amount of early this year, and I am up 5.19% so far this year. Not setting the world on fire, but I look forward to the future on this stock. I have trouble investing in oil and gas stocks with the current administration in power and they being so anti-energy. |

They are extremely volatile. Basically you're buying the Russell 3x leveraged. I bought FAS about a year and a half ago at 25 and sold at 125. There are several of these out there. TQQQ is another one I like really well. I buy and hold. I buy on the dips and sell as it goes up.

My current watch list is NOC, LOW, V, GD, MA, OKE.
I may end up buying all of these, some of these, or none of these. I will probably wait until later this year to make any significant buys, but I have CD's and treasuries that will be maturing over the year and I would generally prefer to own stocks as opposed to CD's and treasuries. My watch list changes often. |
