Hey MarkoKurs.

When you are posting a chart, if you use < pre> Before the chart and < /pre> After it (without the extra space), you can preserve your original spacing.

Thanks for the post!

With a little editing, it looks like this:


Name		Symbol	Weight	Daily P/L%	Net P/L%	
Walt Disney 	DIS	16.21%	0.78%		14.50%	
Gilead 		GILD	4.03%	-0.31%		-23.53%	
Facebook 	FB	27.90%	0.27%		-2.71%	
Under Armour C 	UA	5.38%	1.30%		-51.65%	
Nordea Bank AB 	NDA	16.80%	-0.43%		 44.10%	
Swedbank A 	SWEDa	29.67%	-0.19%		 9.60%	

Much easier to read, eh?

To summarize, what would you do in this situation:

1. Sell UA and GILD take the loss buy NVDA AND ATVI
2. Buy NVDA
3. Buy ATVI
4. Sell NDA and buy NVDA + ATVI

Hmmmmm,
Buy GOOG
Buy PCLN
Buy AMZN
Buy NFLX
Buy ULTA

Hmm, if I told you I’m 30 years old would that change your perspective?

Or are these stocks considered core holdings vs sp500?

NFLX actually looks like a growth monster, i might have made a massive mistake inputing the values

For your age I would defiantly call them core holdings for the next 20 years…
Along with the FB you already have I wouldn’t be afraid of giving them an
allocation of 75% and doing a Rip Van Winkle.

Maybe a bit of Apple, Microsoft and Disney.
And ISRG although the valuation is a bit stretched
courtesy of Goldman $achs, etc.

If something were to set the S&P 500 off 25% soon,
I’d rather have these growth stalwarts over software
companies with stretched valuations and unknown moats…

You do a better Rip Van Winkle with sector ETFs.

Maybe but chip companies come and chip companies go.
Put a smidgen of that in the other 25% of the portfolio.

I guess I’m pointing you toward proven growth with SWAN, Sleep Well At Night,
and a minimum desire to fiddle with it.

Careful of chip companies. Fairchild was about the first, Motorola was once the largest, companies with massive share and seemingly unstoppable momentum included Commodore, Everex, Wang, Apple (twice), IBM, Dell (twice), Gateway, you name it.

In technology, I want to concentrate on the moat. My recs for a 25 year growth group Goog, Msft, FB, AMZN all because they are enablers for other activity and have the throw weight to adapt to anything. They all seem to understand that they must continually leverage their size and market power to remake their future.

I like ATVI, but only hour by hour, because its world can change very quickly. NVDA not at all.

As has been suggested, to date ALL chip companies have ended up with profits plateauing. And frequently, plummeting. And sometimes, bankrupt. It appears to be the nature of the beast as competitors catch up and chips become commodities.

Does this mean they have no part in a portfolio?

I sure hope not because I’ve got a lot of NVDA in my own portfolio. :wink: The trick with these chip companies is to recognize the signs that the competition is catching up and that rocketing earnings will level off… and the likelihood that share prices may drop as PEs contract.

Are we there yet with NVDA?

Obviously, since I own a lot of it… I don’t think so. Although there are occasional rumblings that other companies are catching up. So, I continue to hold. For now. But ongoing vigilance is necessary to avoid unpleasant portfolio performance. Never consider chip companies to be “buy and forget”.

Of course… I say never consider companies to be “buy and forget” either. But chip companies are among the most fragile holdings.

IMO, one does best by being bold…

… but not stupid.

Good luck! There are plenty of folks here happy to share their thinking. It’s up to you to weigh those thoughts and decide.

Blended scotch yes. Single malt no.

Tho strictly speaking it should be the same water as where the distillery came from - e.g. River Spey.

That would be the ultimate razor and blade model - buy the whisky and buy the pure highland water to go with it!

Bloomberg just reported that SoftBank Group Corp. has quietly amassed a $4 billion stake in Nvidia Corp. making it the fourth-largest shareholder in the graphics chipmaker, according to people familiar with the situation. A holding of 4.9 percent, just under the amount that would require a regulatory disclosure in the U.S., would be worth about $4 billion.

Which is good / bad? :slight_smile:

SoftBank bought out ARM Holdings last year. As an ARM investor it was bad for me because that cut short my profits from a great company. Don’t be surprised if SoftBank goes after Nvidia which would give you a short term spike and a long term opportunity loss.

When I put on my “amateur quant” hat, NVDA seems overpriced by many metrics. But it’s a solid, growing company, and its competition is almost entirely AMD (which owns ATI), which is flying high now, but has always been a troubled stock before, with the company just getting by over the years.

You could go long NVDA on dips, and short AMD.

I like both NVDA and ATVI, but I don’t know what’s a good buy price. I made some money on both recently, but I’m not holding either at the moment.
