Alright, I am creating a new log starting over with $3,000 in Robinhood as my prior journal became cluttered with multiple trading strategies. My goal is again to show that you do not need tens of thousands of dollars to make money in the market. My goal is to also use ETFs instead of individual stocks to reduce inherent risk due to earnings/news/etc... Follow along with me on this journey. It should be a fun one!
It is said that passive management beats active management in a bearish market so your strategy may prove worthwhile in the current market. I would however wait a while before investing in the large cap us stock etfs such as s&p500 etfs as the PE ratio is significantly above the long term average. Have you also considered REITS?
Hey, sorry for the lack in response. I have been travelling and working on my strategy. I finally went live with the program today. Purchased 18 shares of XIV @ 38.93 Purchased 2 shares of RSP @ 83.41
Deposited another $2400 for the baby's college fund, only 1,000 is available currently with the other 1,400 pending 4-5 days per Robinhood. Total investment dollars are now $4,000. Purchased 25 shares of XIV @ 37.19 Purchased 2 shares of RSP @ 82.00
Purchased 26 more shares of XIV this morning @ 35.16 Average costs: XIV: 93 shares @ $37.41 RSP: 4 shares @ $82.78 Currently -$130 or -3.25%
