Hi Lostcowboy
I'm basic a value investor looking for good stocks with dividends and low fundamental ratios.
Many of these stocks fluctuate up and down burt not greatly I dollar cost average or systematicly purchase shares on a weekly bases in my IRA. I am looking for a method to maximize returns so when they the stocks fluctuate I take a profit and when they are relatively cheap I buy.
I thought of what questions such a method needs to answer. It came down to six questions
1. When to buy
2. what to buy .
3. How much to buy.
4. when to sell.
5. what to sell
6, How much to sell.
I found one system on the aim board created by a thoughtful investor called Orcroft. It met the six questions. It used aim to plan the buys and sells. However Aim is not suitable for all my stocks etc.
Thus I am looking at some sought of synchrovetyish/twinvestish system in DCA family of styles to pursue a investment program. Any recommendations or modifications will greatly be apprecisted.DCa and twinvest don't take profits but synchrovest does. Again i am looking for a direction that answers those questions.
This is what I own . MO,BP,ABBT, CL,EMR,GE,INTC,JNJ,MMM,MKC,PFE,PM,. All consumer staples in general and have dividends. This will help you get a mind set of what I prefer. Again I am open to change and appreciate any and all constructive criticism or praise. I bought most on the downturn and for their dividend in a declinig market but not at the bottom of the great recessions. Ge and PFE cut their dividends The others increase theirs at reasonable rates.
