Investing to become financially independent
Investing to become financially independent
Home › Forum › Presentation of members and their portfolios › Lenoyer Presentation
Hello everyone,
After some more or less successful trading experiences over the last 15 years, I am adapting my strategy towards yield rather than capital gain.
Even if the yield strategy is free in the long term from capital variations, it is preferable to enter the market when prices are affordable, and to avoid entering during a financial bubble period (I experienced the madness of the 2001 tech bubble...)
Given the current stock market climate and the high levels on a lot of assets, it seems a little risky to me to currently enter with the 100% liquidity available for the purchase of yield securities.
How would you allocate your investments over time if you had to start with new capital today?
Of course, no one has a crystal ball to guess when the next good buying time will be, but sharing your experience is welcome.
Sincerely,
Lenoyer
Hello and welcome
You are right to be concerned about this. I have been saying for a long time that a correction is coming, but it is taking a long time.
There are not many good buying opportunities left at the moment, unlike what we experienced after the subprime crisis.
Indeed, it is better not to invest 100% of your cash.
Personally, when I see a good opportunity, I buy it, but it's rare at the moment. The rest of my cash, I keep it for later. Lately I even tend to sell certain stocks more than to buy them, which is rare when you invest in growing dividends, so more of a buy&hold approach.
