My Grown Up CAPS Portfolio

Recs

May 11, 2011 – Comments (5)

I am finally trying to bust out of the low 90's to the high 90's, which is not to be confused with the high 80's which is what I also called my college education.

Now that I have to move the magazine backwards and forwards like I'm playing a trombone in order to focus my eyes, and find the simplicity of club soda refreshing, it's time I had a CAPS portfolio that is as wise and mature as I am. 

I'm trying to build a base of highly recognizable, mostly consumer facing stocks that I understand and can opine on, and might actually invest in as I see values of my favorites drop. 

Another part of the grown up CAPS portfolio is these are mostly stocks that, if my daughter told me she was going to marry the heir to one of these, I'd burst into tears of joy. Actually, she's 13 and I'd ram a pencil in his neck, but if she was 21... 

Fool On,

El Milagro

Valuations seem kinda high right now. You might get a better entry point later this year.

chk - I agree, but I thought that a year ago and lost the chance to see my UA, CMG, NFLX, LPSN, MPEL all double or more.

That said, beyond maxing out my CAPS score, I use my CAPS port as a Watchlist as well. And, I figure if these are all quality stocks, they shouldn't fall too much further than the broader market.

Check the beta on them. If it is greater than one, they will fall more than the market.
