Diversification Wins With Stocks

Everyone knows that putting all of your eggs in one basket will usually be disastrous, and diversification is good.  However, picking certain allocations for a portfolio can be tricky.  What has worked for me is to put 20-50 percent of my money in bonds and stable fairly high-yielding dividend stock funds.  Currently, my dividend stocks allocation is 23 percent the last time I looked.  This means I will make money in spite of how volatile the general stock market is.  I will never lose all of my money since any trading I do will be with just  77 percent of my money.

For example, last year I made 30% on my 401K portfolio by being safe with 23 percent of my money while I had 77 percent to trade with.  I made thousands of dollars on bitcoin through the bitcoin ETF called GBTC.  In fact, I even got a $339 dividend from GBTC as well as the capital gains.  However, bitcoin is presently dead for now because foreign countries are now closely regulating bitcoin, and hackers have taken away the appetite for many people in bitcoin since they don't want to lose their money.

So, what am I doing with the 77 percent trading and investing money in 2018?  First, I am involved in the electric car boom.  I own LIT which is a lithium stocks ETF.  I own cobalt stocks also because cobalt and lithium are both needed for electric cars.  In addition, I own TSLA and VLKAY because I am making money on Tesla and Volkswagon with their electric cars.

Secondly, I am making money on natural gas exports of LNG.  I own Cheniere Energy (ticker LNG), and I recently bought Dominion Energy (ticker D) because they will soon start exporting natural gas also.  I have not made any money yet on Dominion, but I believe it will soon happen.  So, these are some of my ideas about making money in stocks while having a safe dividend allocation as well.

2018 Winning Stocks

The stock market continues to rise, and I am expecting good returns in 2018.  Some of the winning stocks that I have noticed are EEM and FM for emerging markets, LNG for natural gas exports, LIT for lithium which is used in electric cars, and SPXL which is a 3x S&P 500 ETF.  I may own any or all of these stocks at anytime.

For example, I have owned Cheniere Energy (LNG) for quite some time.  They are exporting LNG natural gas at a record pace.  It is up more than 10 percent in one month, and they can keep rising.
The lithium ETF with the ticker symbol LIT has also been a money maker for me.  Electric cars are here to stay, and they all require a lot of lithium.

Cancer Chemo Therapy

For anyone taking cancer chemo therapy, there are three supplements that can help with energy levels:  CoEnzymeQ10 (300 mg), magnesium (400 mg), and vitamin B1 (200 mg).  I know this works first-hand because I just went through six months of chemo therapy for liver and colon cancer.  I was far more worried about dying from low energy levels rather than cancer itself.

Fortunately, the cancer was almost gone two months ago, and I was near the remission target then.  Since that time, I have taken four more treatments, and I am expecting to be cancer free next week when I take my final CT scan and CEA cancer blood marker test.

Concerning the CEA cancer blood marker test, it is highly accurate.  When my cancer was discovered in June of 2017, my CEA number was 144, and I was in a lot of liver pain.  After four chemo treatments, my CEA number dropped to 26.5, and I was pain free.  After eight chemo treaments, my CEA number dropped to 8.1, and I was still pain free.  Now that I have taken 12 treatments, I am expecting my CEA number to be in the 1 to 2 range when I am tested next week, and I will be virtually cancer free.
