  • by that I mean I begin to track the stock price the day I purchased it…not necessarily 1/1/2017. What’s a better way to label that?

Fellow cowboys and cowgirls, we nearing year-end. What’s the best strategy to utilize cash? Staying on the sidelines? Investing…in what? Thoughts?

Have a great evening,

Nice job again Tracy. Where did you find NVEE?

Bear,
I should take better notes, but I’m pretty sure that I heard about it on one of the Motley Fool podcasts.

I’m working on saying farewell to my old workhorses, so I have cash ready and waiting…what to do, what to do?

Thanks for inspiring me!

NVEE was on one of the motley fool industry focus podcasts, during the week where 3 writers picked a favorite stock on each episode.

I added a starter position in NVEE shortly after, I like the company.

I’m telling ya folks, the Motley Fool podcasts are very helpful.

Today, I re-listened to a 10/16/2017 podcast from Rule Breaker Investing: Bitcoin, Blockchain & Cryptocurrency. The podcast broke the topics down into small bit sized pieces, and it all made sense. They also mentioned how NVDA is benefiting because of the “miners.” It’s worth your time - take a listen to the podcast.
