My stock purchase for March is Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS) March 22, 2013

I am a silver miner today
- Silver could be a safe haven in case of disasters.
- Silver besides being a precious metal, is very much needed by industry (so I read somewhere).
- Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS) is World’s second Silver producer/miner, and I can’t figure out which is the first.
- 3% dividend yield is something I like very much, specially considiring that Payout ratio is an honest 30%
- Forward P/E ( Dec 31, 2014): 10.01 seems cheap enough to me, although current P/E = 30 is quite high. (more…)
3 reasons not to use Stop Loss – answer to Jon Trausti’s question about Free Stock Strategy May 28, 2012
Posted by deminvest in investment, nasdaq, stocks.3 comments
Dear Jon, thanks for your very good question about Free Stock Strategy :
Dont you ever use “Sell Stop” for stocks you buy? … for example, many suggest you always use 5% “sell stop”.. or 10% .. and just buy some other stocks, if the ones you bought are not going in the direction (up) you hoped/wanted ?
It is for 3 reasons
Reason 1)
The only way to make money on the stock market is to buy low and sell high.
Most stocks move together up in good times and down in bad times. Automatic stop loss results in forcing to sell a bunch of stocks, even good ones, as the market sinks.
With my strategy, I have to buy every month, even when markets point down. In bad times I can hardly sell any stock because they can’t hit “up 40% target” in bad times.
As soon as market recovers most stocks that I buy in bad times hit my 40% up target and I make money.
What I accomplish that way is buying low and selling high. The best think is that I do it automatically, without having to understand or forecast what is going on in the Economy.
S&P 500 and NASDAQ 2002 to 2012
If we look at the last 10 years, we can see that if I had bought every month and if I had a stop, I’d have sold with a big losses every stock the next month in 2002, 2007 and 2008. (more…)

I can’t resist Google at F P/E=16: I just bought 3 GOOG shares April 28, 2010
Posted by deminvest in goog, Google, growth stock, Internet stocks, investment, nasdaq, Nasdaq stock, Single stocks, stock I own, stocks.add a comment
I did it:
Bought 3 GOOG @ $528.6735 $-1,590.5205 Executed
I don’t care if Google was kicked out of China. Google still is a fast growing company, which is doing great now and which will do terrific if companies get back on advertising spending as the economy picks up.
Google is growing Revenue up 23% year on year, Earnings up 37%, has 26B cash, about 15% of its market cap.
I just bought 315 Adaptec (ADPT): couldn’t resist a stock sold at less than its cash March 4, 2010

I bought 315 ADPT shares at $3.2 each spending a total amount $ 1008.
- Does this Adaptec controller suck?
I bought 315 ADPT shares at $3.2 each spending a total amount $ 1008.
I chose Adaptec because the company owns Total Cash: $380.39 M and its market cap is $381M.
Hate Ketchup, but love Heinz’s fat dividends! I’m buying 23 HNZ shares in 5 minutes December 29, 2009

Heinz yields 3.9 % dividends. I can hardly resist such juicy dividends, considering that, according to Yahoo finance:
- HNZ has a honest 16 P/E ratio.
- HNZ is supposed to grow its earnings. Next year P/E is supposed to go to 14. (more…)
Just sold 9 Google shares. I now own $5000 worth of free GOOG shares. December 25, 2009

Google shares went up and down between $300 and $600 during last tumultuos 5 years. Thanks to my free stock strategy, several times I managed to buy low and sell high accumulatating 8 free Google shares worth about $5000.
Below the list of my buy and sell operations on GOOG shares. Everytime I managed to get all my money off the table, gain a few dollars and fill my chest of free GOOG shares.
7/1/2005 Buy 4 shares of GOOG @ $290.87/share -$1163.48
11/3/2005 Sell 3 shares of GOOG @ $382.93/share $1148.79
ONE FREE GOOGLE SHARE
I’m buying $1000 worth of Blackstone (BX) in 5 minutes November 19, 2009
Posted by deminvest in Blackstone, BX, growth stock, investment, investment strategies, Single stocks, stock I own, stocks, stocks that pay high dividends.3 comments
Blackstone is a huge Private Equity fund.
Private Equity… or PIRATE EQUITY?
They manage more than $ 90 Billion. Hopefully they manage that sum well. The company earns managements fees even if the value of assets they manage gos down. Forward P/E ratio is a reasonable 15. Main reasons why I buy BX is the fact the middlemen usually gain even if things go badly, the fact that if things go well they gain even more. Last but not least:
- Huge dividend yield: 8%
- Grrowing dividend yield: last year was just 6%
Growing dividends in a sinking economy looks nice. I bet that Blackstone’s managing fees will go up if the Economy continues it current recovery.
Another free stock on my portfolio: the ETF on Brazil stock index that I bought in June is 40% up today. ETF Name is DBXT MSCI BRAZ 1CC. October 16, 2009
Posted by deminvest in growth stock, investment, investment strategies, my free stock, stock I own, stocks.3 comments
up 40% in three months
Another EUR 1000 coming back home from their 4 months trip to conquer me free stocks.
My “Free stock of the month” is an ETF. A nice one which replicates the price and yield performance of shares in the Brazilian market, as measured by the MSCI Brazil Index.
In June I had bought 30 of those . EUR 32.56 each. Total amount: EUR 979.75.
