In Summary-
Crazy swing from last month when my net worth went down $28,473 and now up $49,867 this month. Pretty much when I made my last report it was the market bottom and it has roared back since. Apple has continued to be my strongest stock hitting new highs. Also I have been playing weekly Apple options where I made some quick bucks here and there and will continue to do so in the next month as well. Only laggard in my portfolio is energy stocks as they continue their decline with cheap oil. I wouldn't mind throwing a few bucks in oil futures but I have a significant portion of my Canadian portfolio already in oil so I am tentative to do so right now but If we start seeing $60 dollar oil prices then I will probably make a big move into getting some more.
So my stock strategy right now is just to pay down my margin accounts from dividends and options premiums and play apple a lil bit and try to hold off buying anything else until the new year or big opportunities exist.
In other news not too much else is going on. The brewery hit a few timing snags and looks like it wont be pouring beer until February with some equipment delays but things are coming along nicely there.
In real estate news I have been looking at quite a few different segments, Looked at a few apartment buildings as my cousin wants to partner up and buy one. Its a big commitment and checking into things with him. Also been looking at building lots in my area and there is not much out there right now.
Hopefully next month will be another green one leading into the new year.
Here is a 9 second video of my baby boy who takes a fall dancing his butt off! Turn up the volume and hear his head crack against the floor. Don't worry he is OK!
So is your guys portfolios at new highs as well?
Awesome month with almost 50k increase. Wow! Good luck with the AAPL plays and the possible apartment building. You are building quite an empire! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy. So close to 50k month but just a smidge short. No worries tho. Owning an apartment building will be a tough one to manage and it will involve much more work. Cant imagine dealing with 20+ tenants lol!
ReplyDeleteAG,
ReplyDeleteYour APPL options are really looking good. I am really glad that is paying off big for you. Keep making bold moves my friend!
MDP
APPL premiums were very juicy last few months but now they are thinning out. I plan on trading them until q2 in 2015 hopefully.
DeleteGreat progress, almost a $50k increase which is very impressive. AAPL is definitely treating you well. :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe I will spend 50k on hot tub time machine and go back to the last crash and double down lol
DeleteNice month AssetGrinder! Wow...almost $50k in one month! Your compounding at a rediculous rate...can't wait to see our portfolio grow like that. And it looks like you're well divserfied through investments accounts, real estate, and a start up business.
ReplyDeleteWell done my friend...keep it up! AFFJ
thanks for the kind words!
Delete$50k! Dude, awesome! After last month's small dip your net worth keeps growing leaps and bounds.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, pal!
NMW
Hopefully the dips r limited! Cant be afraid to see a lil blood once in a while
DeleteThat is one heck of a portfolio you've got going Asset Grinder! Love the diversity as well - I'm 100% stocks, as my portfolio is far smaller (not much more than the size of your monthly increase!), and I'm sticking to what I know (and enjoy) to try and accelerate that portfolio growth. Would love to say my portfolio is at all time highs, but have been delving into a few turnaround situations in the mining services sector which might need a little more time to pay off :)
ReplyDeleteBrewery start-up sounds interesting - is this a purely financial investment or more of a 'fun' investment?
Cheers,
Jason
Brewery is more of a financial speculative risk. It an undeserved market and I like the team behind it. Good potential of some long term profits or potential buy out
DeleteGeez, always impressive to read this! Well done! Glad the lil' guy is OK after the dance-off.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Mark
Lil guy loves to dance his butt off but he tends to take off his pants before dancing.
DeleteAG,
ReplyDeleteYou made more money in a single month than I did in my last two years of employment. lol. Your what I call a baller and I hope to get to that point in my life. You take risks and are always trying to make money. Keep it up and your starting to rub off on me because I am looking for a real estate investment as well. I'll keep grinding!
Thanks for the words. Just trying to make a dollar where I can without breaking my back for it working for the man lol!
DeleteNice going, AG. Thats a crazy jump on the increase from last month. Shows how much things change once the net worth goes into the 7 figures.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a great month. Keep it up!
R2R
scary when you see equity portfolios go up and down 10k in a day .. yikes!!!
DeleteCongratulations AG...you are an inspiration!
