How many times have you flipped it for pennies (or losses)? I'm still holding continuously since the spinoff from Raytheon three years ago while collecting many growing dividends.
It's what successful investors do.
CARR from my The Average Joe eletter
This July is set to be the hottest month ever. In recent years, studies have shown that extreme heat can be dangerous, expensive and impacts nearly everyone.
In the US, heat kills more people than any other weather-related incidents, pressures power grids and threatens outages.
Over the past 50 years, the cost of extreme weather events has grown 77% — estimated to cost countries 1.5-6.7% of their GDP annually.
For US consumers, home energy bills are expected to rise 11.7% this summer to an average of $578. It’s also forcing small businesses to close during severe heatwaves.
How does extreme heat impact the economy?
1/ Lower productivity: The International Labour Organization predicted that companies will lose 2% of working hours by 2030 from unworkable conditions or slower working speeds.
2/ Redirect government spending: Extreme heat will impact the lifespan of roads, bridges and other public infrastructure — requiring more frequent replacement.
3/ Increase labor-related costs: In 2021, a deadly heatwave struck British Columbia, leading to heat-related work injury compensation jumping 180% from the previous three-year average.
Better get used to it: Researchers warn that a hotter world will likely be the norm moving forward. But existing working conditions and practices were set in place for a cooler climate, and factories and warehouses haven’t been designed for the hot temperatures, per the Institution of Mechanical Engineers’ Laura Kent.
Crank up the air con
It’s not just warmer temperatures keeping sales hot for the HVAC industry. Manufacturers have been expecting a sales boost thanks to the passing of last year’s climate bill — giving Americans tax breaks and rebates on energy-efficient cooling systems.
HVAC sellers and manufacturers have seen their returns far surpass the S&P 500’s in recent years:
Carrier Global Corp (NYSE:CARR) has risen over 300% since its 2020 debut in the market.
AAON (NASDAQ:AAON) is also up 176% in the past five years.
Thought you could live without AC? Give it a couple more years, and that might not be the case.

SA; Carrier: "Love The Company, Just Not Stock Price"
"* Carrier Global has several tailwinds, including a growing residential HVAC replacement market and strong housing starts.
* The move towards Variable Refrigerant Flow in commercial buildings will add to market opportunities. To expand VRF product offering, Carrier Global has acquired a Chinese VRF manufacturer.
* However, current stock valuation is not attractive, even as a complement to its commercial competitor Johnson Controls."

56.01 new buyer here. Looking forward to adding here in the future. Longterm solid investment.
1.75B buy back approved.
Very impressive indeed.
Still a nice bullish trend. Only been under 100 day mov avg. once this year, which aims at 42.50 being new line of support. but i wouldn't be scared unless it got under 40. Time for a step back and ready to rise towards 50 on next push!! go $CARR
Right product, right time. Carrier record high at $47
I am glad for you. We have had a few copper and uranium stocks do very well in the past few months. All the best to both of us.
CARRier hits all-time high at $45.90, sure beats crap mining pennies.
seems on track to keep chugging along...nice and steady upward trend. 1 yr chart is what growth stock should look like.
$45. Congrats on your pick of CARR, a spectacular performer. I'm sure NYBob would like to hear about it too.
are we gonna see some of this pent up demand they spoke of last earnings Call fall into this Quarter's results? OR we thinking more into next Quarter? seems there is some optimism in share price currently....
"We are still money ahead by a good margin since 2003." Everyone should be up by "a gigantic margin" since 2003.
The S&P 500 Index was about 950 then vs 4,128 today, and that's not counting 17 years of dividends. The ^sp500TR [the total return index] stands at 8499 at this moment... A record.
bar1080 I am glad that you have been successful, and hope that you continue to be so.
This board is about Carrier Global Corp.. Not about me or you.
I have said enough.
Occasionally I, as an accredited investor, will be invited into a "private placement." I've always declined and never regretted it. The oil/gas ones are almost 100% scams.
Many of my best stocks are more than a century old, firms such as UPS, MMM and Boeing. Carrier dates to 1902. My Berkshire Hathaway has roots going back to 1839! Rockwell International, an enormous winner and div payer, goes back to the 1930s, with many spinoffs.

No Carrier is among the 96% of our "non-speculative" portfolio. We usually do intensive research into companies , and at times, have partaken in private placements. It is fun to catch a newly organized company and ride it.
Yes, there have been failures. We are still money ahead by a good margin since 2003.
A normal practice is to sell enough of a stock to recoup our original investment once it has doubled in share price. If it still appears to have good potential for growth, we will let the profits ride. Thus, playing with the "houses" money.
We are retired and have set aside the 96% to cover us comfortably. We do not live extravagantly, nor do we take exotic vacations, or splurge on cars , etc..
Whatever makes you sleep well at night is the path you should choose.
All the best to both of us in investing and in our lives.
Thank you for your concern.
Have a Happy Easter.
"This is the "speculative" part of our investment portfolio. It is less than 4% of our total." What are you referring to as speculative? Carrier?
I do have some interest in mining stocks, although I've never owned one. Scammy stocks have long fascinated me. Financial and accounting shenanigans are a specialty of mine. My son is a CPA. I don't see how one can reliably research foreign mining operations. You don't see Warren Buffett in mining stocks (although he briefly owned a tiny amount of Barrick recently)
This is the "speculative" part of our investment portfolio. It is less than 4% of our total. They are not all in mining of precious metals. We have had losers, but also many doubles, more than 6 triples, a few up 400 - 700%, and one already in the past 6 months up over 1,100%. I enjoy researching small companies.
The 96 + % is invested prudently.
Thank you for your concern.
I'd take a diversified portfolio of quality wide-moat industrial businesses such as Carrier over mining shams like Cotton & Western. Worried about currency devaluation? Buy great stocks. Carrier just raised its payout 50%!
I'm a retired lawyer who's been investing in stocks since I was age 19, long, long ago.
I look at them as insurance against further dilution in the value of the dollar. We have actually done rather well with them since 2003.
It's rarely mentioned but many firms offer their shareholders product discounts. Long ago, RadioShack gave 10% discounts to their shareholders. I used that to save 10% on one of their early business computer systems.
Disney sometimes has specials for DIS shareholders. For example, they'd offer free DisneyLand and Disney World day passes. Usually during slow times. Sometimes with little warning. Often all you needed was to own a single share to get the freebie.
---
Why do you own all those low quality mining stocks?
No. No discount available.
Will do that. Good idea. Thank you bar1080.
Check with Carrier to see if they offer product discounts for shareholders.
Carrier has been a remarkable winner since it was spun off from Raytheon Corp last April at around $15 share.
New shareholders here. In a few weeks we will support the company by purchasing a new Bryant air conditioner and natural gas furnace. GO CARRIER !!!

An Arizona State University professor recently wrote an academic paper showing that the vast majority of stocks are stinkin' performers. His paper called "Do Stocks Outperform Treasury bills" examined over 25,000 listed stocks from 1926 to 2016. A big chunk of research!
"...he found that only 4% of the companies analyzed, or 1,092 firms, accounted for all of the net wealth that has been created over the full 90-year period of his study. The remaining 96% of companies collectively generated lifetime dollar gains matching those of one-month Treasury bills."
"Put differently, the outperformance of the stock market is mostly due to the relatively few companies that became "ten-bagger" stocks."
"The results presented reaffirm the importance of portfolio diversification. Poorly diversified portfolios will underperform because they omit the relatively few stocks that generate large positive returns."
From Seeking Alpha comes this dumbed-down discussion of that university paper.

That is not my full portfolio, and I didn't buy all $20k worth yet- I took a 1/4 position with that $amount portioned out for CARR, looking for a pullback to add additional shares... 30+ tickers in my portfolio across various industries and risk levels...
Congrats, but I never advised putting it all in one stock. According to a famous academic study, only about 4% of stocks beat bank or treasury yields. The great majority of even blue chips will prove to be poor investments.
I just settled 20K in profit this month, put all of it on CARR much like you said- find a Blue chip that performs and treats you with shares in other companies, you stick with it! Wish I'd have found this earlier but still on the ground floor of constant growth!
Carrier's a blue chip that largely invented air conditioning around 1902. Originally I owned Rockwell International decades ago which, around 2001, split into Rockwell Automation and Rockwell Collins, a respected maker of aircraft electronics and radio equipment. Rockwell Collins was acquired by United Technologies for stock and cash. UTX merged with Raytheon.
In April, I received shares in Raytheon and some in Carrier and Otis, the elevator company. It's a long, complex story involving many successful spinoffs, a story that's been very, very profitable for me.
I only own blue chips and almost never sell them.
I have recently just invested. Mad money covered it. With hype on vaccine storage. Which I think is intriguing. I'm hoping alot of buildings install these purifiers via cares money and future prevention of any illnesses spreading. Maybe insurance companies even request for premium discounts.
I know locally where I'm at, local governments are spending there cares money on purifiers to upgrade their buildings. Hoping across the nation as well.
Do you own CARR? Did you get it via RTX, or via COL, as I did?
Yeah I'm hoping for increases in ventilation systems sales and possibly a piece of the vaccine storage equipment carrier has designed and sells. Good Luck to All.
Thanks. A basic OptiClean costs about $4,500 it appears. Carrier stock is up 160% since it was spun-off from Raytheon in April.
TIME Names Carrier's OptiClean a Best Invention of 2020

OptiClean Dual-Mode Air Scrubber & Negative Air Machine recognized for its rapid innovation to help create healthy indoor environments
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Nov. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR) a leading global provider of healthy, safe and sustainable building and cold chain solutions, today announced that its OptiClean™ Dual-Mode Air Scrubber & Negative Air Machine has been named as one of TIME's 100 Best Inventions of 2020. The OptiClean was developed through rapid innovation in early 2020 to help support infectious isolation rooms in hospitals. TIME featured OptiClean in the Medical Care category of its prestigious annual list that recognizes 100 ground-breaking inventions that are making the world better and smarter.

"We are honored the OptiClean is being recognized by TIME for a product we developed and brought to market in record time while maintaining strict standards to ensure the highest quality," said Carrier Senior Vice President, Engineering, Chris Kmetz. "At Carrier, we're committed to doing our part to develop smart, sustainable and efficient solutions that will address our most critical needs."
At the onset of the pandemic, Carrier invented the OptiClean as a negative air machine for hospitals treating COVID-19 patients to help hospitals protect caregivers, workers, and patients. OptiClean can plug into standard wall outlets and has a footprint of less than three square feet. As an air scrubber OptiClean can improve the indoor air quality of classrooms, restaurants, dental offices, commercial buildings and more, by pulling in air, scrubbing it using a HEPA filter, and then exhausting cleaner air back into the room, reducing contaminants in the air and offering further protection as part of an overall mitigation strategy.
