A Year Of Long & Short Tech Stock Trades
– IntelligentSpeculator.net
As most of you know, I manage my investments with a bucket system and the most speculative part is where I trade technology stocks. It’s a lot more risky but also my favorite part. I love keeping up to date with these stocks, trying to figure out which ones will do well, etc. There are 2 main types of trades that I do with those stocks:-Longer term speculative stock picks: I rarely do these. When I see a stock with significantly more upside than downside, I’ll take a longer term position in that stock that is relatively big. To give you an idea, I’ve done 2 such trades in the past 2 years.
-2012: Purchased Facebook (FB)
-2013: Purchase Apple (AAPL)
I’m up 175% and 40% on the 2 picks and do expect to keep these positions for some time. I’m also hoping to find another good opportunity next year. More on that soon obviously:)
