This is my current portfolio, along with my performance over the last few years. Maybe I’ll show it again in a year.
As a rule, I don't cut my flowers once they've grown. I want them to keep compounding off of the bigger base. That’s the whole point of compounding in the first place.
I don't mind the “risk” tied to a large position. The reason is that I view the long-term risk associated with these names as being quite small. Could an event obliterate one of these position’s stock prices into smithereens? Sure. But then I'd probably just be buying a lot again. I really don't see myself losing money on them in the long-term. I bought them all very, very cheap.
The bigger the long-term risk, the smaller the initial allocation size in the portfolio, but again, I won't sell a grower just because it gets big.
I also keep my portfolio concentrated. There are other companies I like, but whenever I'm buying, I find myself shoveling money into what I think is the best idea at the moment. That has kept me busy buying mostly these names at any given point.
$MELI is an interesting one for me. It has the titles of being both my worst performer and my current favorite idea. When those two things mesh, it's a really great thing. I find myself on my knees praying to the stock gods every night before bed that the price stays low for another year. I really do think it's worth roughly twice what it's trading for now.
$TEA.AX $TEA has grown into a bigger position, and is well positioned to keep growing.
$AMZN is very undervalued, yet accelerating in speed of growth. Quite the situation for astute investors. I'll likely start buying again if the chart continues on this way.
$BN is the beneficiary of a well-managed collection of companies that grow the ecosystem together. It just marches onward by the nature of its model and the excellence of its culture.
$ZETA and
$MEDP aren't the biggest positions, but I wouldn't be surprised if either of them, or even both of them, are doubles or triples over the next 2 or 3 years.
I’m not looking to buy hype names to hold for a little while. I’m looking to buy economic profit compounders– engines that rotate and feed their machines as they do– that I can hold for a very long time.
Not financial advice.
