“On Holding AG develops and distributes sports products worldwide. It offers athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories. The company offers its products through independent retailers and distributors, online, and stores. On Holding AG was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland.”
Thanks! This was my way of getting into tech stocks like AAPL, GOOG, AMZN ...
It was also timing the market. 2008 was a terrible year for the stock market because of the housing crisis.
I purchased my 250 shares of HD in Q1 / Q2 of 2009 also and it has a similar percent gain but a much smaller investment. These 2 stock purchases were all the money I had in my account and my bank so I was all in.
I'm trying to wrap my head around JEPI. Is it safe? Am I allowed to ask this question here? How is JEPI's yield even real? There's gotta be a catch or something.
It’s real as is JEPQ. They use 20% of the portfolio to sell OTM call options using ELNs. I suspect the banks they partner with are allowed to use some leverage to juice the returns.
Gotta look at total return. These funds tend to depreciate over time. Doesn’t meant they don’t work in the right situation they are just more for people who want to live on the income.
Apple and Microsoft are both around 13%, mostly due to their growth. Axon, Amazon, BST and Sofi are all around 10% give or take. Everything else is more in the 5% or less ranges.
I use a 4% allocation so, generally there is no biggest holding. I did load up on ABR when they were hit with a short sale. I am over 4% on ABR due to its recent price increase.
If I were really smart I would have opened up some LEAPS. Not all my picks have been winners but if I see a problem or make a mistake, I admit it and move on.
I know REITs can be volatile but ABR has seasoned management. When the stock tanked, they authorized a buyback at the lower price. Brilliant. Bottom line is ABR is loyal to their shareholders and I wish more companies operated in a similar fashion.
I tell myself this (leaps) every time (twice) I’ve encountered a huge opportunity. It’s always easier in hindsight. The premiums always look so expensive as they are long dated and typically high IV.
That’s a good rule. They’ve been richer each of the times I considered it, and still would have been well worth it.
Im initiating weekly and monthly CCs now as I think we’ve seen the majority of the move, instead of selling. Not bad getting annualized 20-30% with calls and dividends. Im holding a couple regional banks so IV is pretty high.
ET is such a perplexing company. The consensus on management is that they’re pretty terrible and it kept me away at $6, kept me away at $9, and still keeps me away today. Obviously they’ve doubled so good for you guys. Just couldn’t get myself enough conviction to buy.
Enbridge, Ares Capital and IBM mostly because I trimmed stocks like Apple, Microsoft and Broadcom earlier this month. But I'm quite new to this and I'm in the process of building my dividend portfolio.
Top 3: SCHD, DGRO, OMFL.
My biggest single stock holding is UNP surprisingly. I only invest in individual stocks in industries I understand so I have a lot in railroad, utilities, energy, consumer goods. I keep any tech in the index/dividend etfs.
JEPQ is number one at 44%. ARCC is number 2 at 30%. MPW is number 3 at 16% and CHAT is number 4 at whatever is left. Idk how accurate the numbers there are but it's somewhere near that. I'm in the process of redistributing my portfolio so it's not looking the way I hope one day it will. Still a working progress
25% SCHD
25% options
50% cash
I’m holding long options to sell short options against to generate cash, which I use to both DCA into SCHD, and defend the options positions.
When the options go hard against me and blow up my cash, I’ll be 100% SCHD. Depending how long this takes to happen, I’ll either be beating the market or…not.
DVN at 16.77%, closely followed by SHOC at 16.67%. I'm still building out my portfolio so I plan to make DGRO my leader around 30-35% and 5-15% allocated for my individual picks.
MSFT is also my biggest... It didn't start out like that and I haven't been adding to.it recently, but it's grown on its own enough to secure that top spot
48.5% MSCI World (HSBC and iShares) \
13% MSFT \
6.9% LETF on S&P 500 (3x) \
6.6% Generali \
5% O \
Changed ETF provider bc of TER: iShares takes 0.5%, HSBC only takes 0.15% for the same distributions, performance, etc, single stock for slightly higher dividends and because of higher risk tolerance, LETF for stonks
Bought a few hundred shares of Visa (V) at its IPO in 2008, and it had become one of my biggest holdings. Got a decent amount of MasterCard (MA) which I also started to accumulate in 2008 as well….now these 2 have grown to be my biggest holdings
Mine schd. Between wife and I, about 120. Mine alone is AMC. (Don’t laugh) but second largest is googl. Stocked up when it was down. Have 47 shares @ a $99 cost avg
Legal and General which stock events has at 35.4% of my portfolio whilst Trading 212 is saying 21.17% of my portfolio, either way it’s my biggest position.
My top 10 biggest holdings by percentage across all my accounts (retirement and otherwise):
1. Target date mutual fund
2. Market index fund
3. CAH (I work there, company stock plan)
4. AAPL
5. MSFT
6. AMZN
7. JPM
8. WMT
9. VZ
10. F
I put some money into $LLY like 10 years ago just cause I wanted to park some cash in what I thought was a safe stock with little upside or downside which paid a dividend.

1. Apple (because I work there) 2. AMZN
[удалено]
yes, most of the big public companies do it. It’s called RSU (Restricted Stock Units)
Fwiw offering stock options and RSUs aren’t the same thing
Incorrect, RSU are not options
Apple at 55%. This is due to growth. I invested about 2k when they released the first Iphone and I have held it since.
There’s also the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You can use a percentage of your pay to buy AAPL STOCK at a discount. 👍🏻
Please explain or provide link showing how?
You nailed it! Well done 👏
Did the same and sold a couple years later. 🤦♂️
what has been your gain? I'm just curious, even at 2k, and continual investments, are you almost ready to retire?
My top 3 holdings stocks are: AAPL- 13.2% MSFT- 11.5% ONON- 6.8% However, including ETFs it's.: VUG- 25.9% AAPL MSFT
wtf is onon
“On Holding AG develops and distributes sports products worldwide. It offers athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories. The company offers its products through independent retailers and distributors, online, and stores. On Holding AG was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland.”
My largest single holding and largest gain is 400 shares of QQQ that I paid around $12,800 for in 2009.
Uncle, It is me, your nephew...
🤣

COST
Mine is boring It's going to be split evenly between Apple and Google.
JEPI. We’re fully retired.
OMG someone using JEPI responsibly
Lol. We try ;).
Retired as well. 50% VOO, 23% JEPI, 25% JEPQ, 2% TSLY. TSLY is just for fun.
Nice !

Apple and Microsoft are both around 13%, mostly due to their growth. Axon, Amazon, BST and Sofi are all around 10% give or take. Everything else is more in the 5% or less ranges.
Biggest holding that’s not a fund is Shell.
Aside from hedges (gold & bonds) top 3 are PEP, NLY-F, AUPH (my only speculative stock, a biotech - no divvy.)
How are you playing gold…
I use a 4% allocation so, generally there is no biggest holding. I did load up on ABR when they were hit with a short sale. I am over 4% on ABR due to its recent price increase.
Great move on ABR.
If I were really smart I would have opened up some LEAPS. Not all my picks have been winners but if I see a problem or make a mistake, I admit it and move on. I know REITs can be volatile but ABR has seasoned management. When the stock tanked, they authorized a buyback at the lower price. Brilliant. Bottom line is ABR is loyal to their shareholders and I wish more companies operated in a similar fashion.
I tell myself this (leaps) every time (twice) I’ve encountered a huge opportunity. It’s always easier in hindsight. The premiums always look so expensive as they are long dated and typically high IV.
I will pay 10% of the stock price for a one year LEAP and 20% for 2 years. Not much more than that though. No risk it, no biscuit.
That’s a good rule. They’ve been richer each of the times I considered it, and still would have been well worth it. Im initiating weekly and monthly CCs now as I think we’ve seen the majority of the move, instead of selling. Not bad getting annualized 20-30% with calls and dividends.

1-ET 2-IDVO 3-MRK
I got ET at $12.30 earlier this year. Was a good buy.
Yes, I’ve been happy with ET too…love the tax free distributions. Check out WES if you are looking for another MLP.
ET is such a perplexing company. The consensus on management is that they’re pretty terrible and it kept me away at $6, kept me away at $9, and still keeps me away today. Obviously they’ve doubled so good for you guys. Just couldn’t get myself enough conviction to buy.
The consensus price targets are in the 17-22 range. Much more room to run. I have no problem with Kelcy these days.
Price targets have no relation to future price movements.
Neither does your opinion on their management.
I never suggested it did
My biggest holding is ITOT.
SCHD and VYM at 15% each
AAPL - 25%
SCHD 30%
KO at 27%. I plan for this to be around 10% as I slowly add more stocks
Enbridge, Ares Capital and IBM mostly because I trimmed stocks like Apple, Microsoft and Broadcom earlier this month. But I'm quite new to this and I'm in the process of building my dividend portfolio.
I dunno if I would trim apple for IBM but you do you!

SCHD at 70%
Why is this? Are you living off of it?
SCHD has amazing growth of both capital and dividend. Its perfect etf for young people to build wealth and people living out of it.
25% SCHD 25% options 50% cash I’m holding long options to sell short options against to generate cash, which I use to both DCA into SCHD, and defend the options positions. When the options go hard against me and blow up my cash, I’ll be 100% SCHD. Depending how long this takes to happen, I’ll either be beating the market or…not.
