WW Eeee, Face Booked, Underarm Charm

Hello all,

It's been a kind of bleak couple of weeks.  WWE took a recent hit but we're still holding, if only for international subscriptions to WWE, TWO is down a little (which is fine because it's a dividend stock anyway), and we traded out 9 shares of FB for 10 of UA.  Profitability continues to elude PLUG.

Coulda shoulda wouldas:

We would have liked to have held ISIS longer, traded FB for TWTR, and traded WWE for RAD, which has been on a nice upswing from the 4s and will probably reach 5+ soon.

For now we continue to hold, with our penny stocks dormant and/or worthless.  BRGO did a 1000-1 reverse split, making our 300,000 shares worth a cup of coffee, LQMT languishes in the teens, and nothing else - TGRO, PVSP, FLST - is worth even mentioning.  The strategy going into the new year will be holding onto corporate stocks long-term and selling what carnage we have left in pennies.

Hopefully there'll be some good news, but for now our missed profits are in Rite Aid, Isis Pharmaceuticals, and even Facebook.  With Lockheed Martin's fusion discovery, we hope to get in eventually.  Stay tuned.

Stock Portfolio Update, August 18: Stoppin' the Hoppin', Long Everything (FB, PLUG, BRGO, LQMT)

Lionel's Stock Portfolio: What's New?

It's been a precarious couple of months.  Holding in some positions has cost me momentum, but there are a few trades I'm glad I made.  Here's my wrapup of present and recent stocks:

FB: Long, long.  The money's coming in and I'm not budging, even in a personal catastrophe, until 90 a share.  18 shares.

PLUG: Also long.  The company finally turned a profit and I'm holding in expectation that companies like Wal-Mart will provide more business in the long run.  Plus, I bought my second batch at 9 a share.  Boo to that, especially in light of recent severe dips.  Still, bought around 4 in a second batch trading off a small RAD position. 130 shares.

LQMT: A sleeper.  Haven't bothered tracking it since dips under 30 cents. 600 shares.

FLST:  A fun curiosity last year.   The potential's still there but with revenue under six figures, I'm just holding. 500 shares.

PVSP: Supposed to be a penny stock hit.  ZZZ. 1K shares.

BRGO: With a brick and mortar location coming eventually (love the cautiously optimistic PR). 300K shares.

Don't regret selling: 

RAD While still a promising long-term stock to me, short-term events pushed things well down below 8.62.  If I ever get some extra investing money I may pick up again in the mid sixes before it slowly accumulates value again.

NENE The Cheap Investor's pick's supposed to be around $10 "soon".  Glad to have sold from around 2.50 before it started scumming at 1.80.  Nothing against his long-term track record, but a sour start investing in his recommendation.

Do regret selling:

ISIS Beautiful long-term stock and far down from a high of 62.66.  Even a jump to 40 could still turn a large-scale investor a decent profit.

TWO: Just a gorgeous dividend, 10%. I miss it.

Wishlist:

AAPL It split again! Its price is within range of the common man too.  Kicking myself for missing a buy-in opportunity at 92.

WWE Even with a rise to half its previous price of $31.98, I'd be happy buying in today.  The 4.10% dividend isn't bad either.

AWP: A quiet but nicely performing stock.  With automated dividend reinvestment in an account like
BuyandHold, 6.60% paid off 12 times really adds up.
