And Another Add

DRUNKMAN — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 10:55:04 GMT

Someone just informed me that Altria (MO) sells wine. And that appears to be true. So inspite of them being far more diversified than most of my other picks. I am adding them as of today.

Bonus, the price is wallowing currently and their dividends exceed 5% at this time.

New Stocks Added

With the news that beer sales are up going into the end of year, I've added 3 new tickers that CAPS now recognizes:

ALB, ADS and the ever-lovin' BREW

to "cap" my portfolio.

Belly Up For Gains.

DRUNKMAN — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 06:42:50 GMT

According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, beer sales are up overall.

Which SHOULD means portfolio gains are on the way, no?

Beer sales still sliding.

Question is, though, are they still outperforming the benchmark?

AH-haaaaaa. <...

The beer industry is in a slump.

DRUNKMAN — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 07:05:17 GMT

Sales down 3 years in a row:

But you can't blame this on me. I'm still doing my part.

FREE! No, Really. FREE THING HERE!

DRUNKMAN — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 04:33:06 GMT

Ooh. That's good marketing.

Anyway, since my investing plan is pretty straightforward with no big breaking news, I decided that I should give those intrepid souls that waste 30 seconds of their lives stopping in here something in return. So here it is, a FREE THING:

Hey, I have a little Heart charm now.

That means you like me. You really like me!

So, although I am fortunate to be pretty busy with work, I'm going to try and blog a bit more often. Hopefully that won't ruin my popularity.

Because really, there's not much other action here. My portfolio rarely changes. The plan is simple, buy alcohol and plenty of it. It's not rocket surgery.

I've been her...

Moving Up!

Today, the Top 1500.

What's that staggering up behind the Top 100? Oh. It's me!

Public Service Announcement

This is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

And if there's anything I like better than booze, it's breasts! If I can save just one breast I'm willing to make a sacrifice. So I am going to donate the price of a six-pack to Breast Cancer Research.

And I'm challenging all my fellow hard-drinking, breast loving Fools to do the same. So C'mon, Guys, pony up. We both now you've spent way more than a sixer trying to get a peek at a br...

...But my rank is now higher than Elderhad's new profile and he's the former #1 champ.

I may actually be on to something here.

A toast!

AWWWG!

I'm being hit. Apparently the sub-prime crisis is biting into people's beer money. Now I have a wad of losers in my portfolio.

Nothing I can do but wait it out.

I need a drink...

Expanding My Portfolio

DRUNKMAN — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 10:35:06 GMT

Well, it's been 7 months, but 5 more booze-stocks are now available thru CAPS for me to add to my list. Hoping PMID becomes available soon! Need I point out that my strategy IS, in fact, beating the market? Even on Down Days.

Check me out, I only have ONE loser. I expect prices to climb even more early next year after companies count their Holiday Sales profits. If only I could afford to buy these stocks with real money...I could stop drinking Mi...

New Stock Added.

DRUNKMAN — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 04:53:31 GMT

So I was finally allowed to expand my holdings and look what happened. (KNBWY) Kirin Brewery Company's price is up 17% adding 15 to my CAPS score and maintaining my All-Star rating.

This proves my theory stated in an earlier post (YOU look it up, I'm hung over) that I could achieve greater gains if I could choice more stocks, thus diversifying my portfolio across the sector. I continue to believe that this sector (BOOZE) is weather-proof if not bullet pr...

Alternative Booze Investing PT 3

DRUNKMAN — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 17:58:59 GMT

Okay, this idea I came up with all by my lonesome. My parents would be so proud!

There are some wines you can find quite readily that depict major "cult of personality" type celebrities like Elvis and Marylin Monroe. They cost about $11-$13.00 a bottle and have cute names like Jailhouse Red, Blue Suede Chardonnay and Marylin Merlot. I'm sure they'd make perfect gifts for the obsessed/deranged fan in your family...but screw that...we're about turni...

This article explains the fine art of getting a bargain at a wine auction. If you've got the patience for that kind of thing then maybe you can pick up a few pointers. Wine sure seems like a lot of work compared to beer.

My portfolio is CRUSHING with 80% accuracy. And now I'm an All-Star. It's about time I got a little recognition. All Hail Me. Drinks on the house.

Alternative Booze Investing. PT 1

DRUNKMAN — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 21:37:45 GMT

Hey, It's that same guy! He sure is into his grape juice. He offers some alternative ways to invest in wine which is really kind of complicated for the likes of me. But maybe it'll help one of you out.

My personal strategy is to buy wine with a bottle refund. That way I always recoupe some of my capital. It's like getting a dividend check. A tiny little dividend check. Which I then reinvest in more vino. And I hear that's how Buffet does it. Buffet looks li...
