Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
You are confused because vxp036000, the poster you responded to, is not the OP and is not the one that presented a high-dividend yield investment approach to discuss and debate. I am, Alex in Virginia.
VXP036000 is the day trader, and what he does and says has absolutely nothing to do with my investing approach. Nothing.
Don't feel bad. A LOT of people participating in this thread have done the same thing.
Yep.
I'm late to this thread and just invested almost 15 minutes reading the whole thing........ I think reading the thread straight through highlights the confusion that is taking place.
The OP is Alex who wanted comments on his high yield bond and high yield stock investing style. Another poster, who likely should have started his own thread, VXP036000 jumped in talking about having a portion of his portfolio set aside for short term equity trading where he says he is doing very well.
Alex and VXP036000 are being confused and comments misdirected in many cases.
Alex - You seem to understand the risks you're assuming with your committment to a high yield / high div investment approach. Someone wins the lottery despite the tough odds and it might be you. Or it might not. You sound like a big boy who will deal with the consequences as necessary. Good luck and enjoy!
VXP036000 - Your strategy, when separated from Alex's and looked at alone, isn't that unusual even here on this board. I too set aside a portion of my RE portfolio for short term equity trading. I'm glad you have been enjoying some success and wish you the best. Like everyone who actively trades a portion of their portfolio, you'll likely experience good times and bad times and I'm sure you're ready to deal with both. Good luck.
If you'd like a focused discussion on short term equity trading, why not start your own thread instead of injecting your unrelated comments into this thread on high yield / high div investments that Alex started?
