Interesting list. Are you planning on trending this or just a simple post?

3 month gain Jan 20, 2026

Here is my summary for this month. See the attached Excel file for details.

Since last report I decided to sell Robinhood in early January. It had been one of my best performing IRA stocks. It seemed tied to bitcoin. It had been drifting down. I decided to take profits. Proceeds were used to take my leading memory stocks–Sandisk, Seagate, and Micron to my investment limit. (I was already maxed on Western Digital.) I use diversification rules that let me buy more of performing stocks up a limit. After that I let them grow as long as they perform.

Jan 20 proved to be a difficult day to evaluate stocks. Stocks were hit hard by Trump’s efforts to use tariffs to acquire Greenland. Lots of ++ dip stocks indicating recent declines. None the less I had 44 (of 191) stocks up over 15% for the 90 day period. Median was 4.06%, up from 1.11% last month. VFINX, my S&P 500 indicator was a little better at 4.71%.

The top performer was Sandisk at 223.29% followed by HL a silver miner at 102.73. Tech stocks, especially memory stocks, did very well. But also gold and silver stocks. Others included defense stocks HII 48.41, Dollar General 38.67, Cummins 37.39, and Lilly 29.70. Dupont at 26.99 is a surprise.

I decided to rate HL, WDC, Newmont, and Boeing as double hats ^^. I took a close look at Boeing. It has a nice two-month linear uptrend from November, but is still reporting deficits. No earnings yet. 260 or so is the recent high. All time high is 440 or so from 2019. Recovery potential appears limited. I decided to pass.

I decided to buy HL and Newmont (both mining companies) in pilot amounts in my Roth and IRA. Also Intel and Constellation Brands, both single hats (one month linear gain). Intel reports earnings tomorrow, and I usually would not buy close to earnings. But the stock is hot, up 11.72% today. Nvidia investment probably means potential for personal computers equipped for AI. People seem to think they have their act together. Wish me luck. Beer is out of favor with younger generations but STZ stock pattern suggests they are doing better. Corona and Modello sales are down (after doing well during the Bud Light problem) perhaps due to ICE efforts to deport illegals.

I funded the purchases by selling ABBV, an under performer. I also sold a chunk of Uber–it had the lowest capital gains among the low performers. Viking from last month is also not doing so well but I decided to give it another month.

I moved most of my growth stocks to an irrevocable trust (to let them grow w/o increasing estate tax). IRA is still doing very well. But now revocable trust is loaded with high cap gains stocks best left to heirs to under stepped up basis. So working to sort through those to improve growth rate but trying to stay out of the 32% tax bracket.

Looking at the sectors–

Tech stocks. Best SNDK, Micron, Western Digital, Teradyne, Lam Research, Seagate. 44 to 223% Worst Oracle, Dell, VEEV, Garmin -38 to -19%

Manufacturing. Best Cummins, WRTBY, Caterpillar, Boeing 37 to 17%. Worst Illinois Tool Works, Airbus, Mettler, GE 2 to 4%

Chemicals. Best Dupont, Ashland, Dow 21 to 27%. Worst Linde, Olin -3.7 to -3.9%

Some of my posts had experienced that too. Why? There is no spam, selling or political discussion. Stock discussions should be encouraged.

I suspect it got reviewed because it contained the presidents name referring to Greenland policy and impact on stocks that day. Probably screening for political content.
