How I made a 36% return my first year investing in stocks without knowing what I was doing

Image
You hear stories about day traders making millions and living the dream with all their fancy cars. Well I tried that. It ended with me losing $8,000 in one month on penny stocks. So if you want day trading advice, please stop reading this. I did however, figure a simple easy way to invest in really high paying dividend stocks like AXP, BAC, STM, KHC, ect. How did I find out these stocks were a good investment? None other than the great Warren Buffett. See Buffett publicly posts his portfolio here and his latest buys and sells here . I was able to invest in BAC and SYF almost the same time Buffett did. I am still new to investing, and have learned a lot to make myself feel confident to make a few investments with my own research. While I am learning, I still want my money to grow for me, so why not follow the most successful investor who has ever lived? Over the past 5 years, I have put $5,500 per year in my IRA Roth and contributed to my matching 401k for m...

Should you invest in Cryptocurrency?

Bitcoin just hit $13,000! Is it too expensive to buy right now? Some people say it is going to grow to $100,000 or even $1,000,000 in the next 5-10 years, while others say it is a bubble ready to burst. I have a theory on it with the limited research I have done. I first heard about bitcoin back in November 2013. My friend had three coins he bought for $210 that he sold for $700+. It seemed like the wild west to me at the time. I ended up forgetting about it until this year. I started following it closer when it was around $2,000 because a friend of mine was putting all his money into it. Even though I have followed  Bitcoin since it was $2,000, I have yet to pull the trigger on an investment. I did invest $500 in Litecoin about 10 days ago, and I have already seen about a 10% gain. What if I had invested $10,000? $20,000? Should I be kicking myself? My answer is no because this investment is still speculative. Optimists are sure it is going to be the new world currenc...

Why I just bought 2 shares of Berkshire Hathaway Class B Stock

Image
This quick story was developed from a blog I posted a few days ago called 'How I made a 36% return my first year investing in stocks without knowing what I was doing.' I thought the story might inspire some other young professionals who are looking at getting involved in investing. I posted it on Linked In, Twitter, Reddit, ect. The feedback I received from it was surprisingly good, and there was one comment on Reddit that changed the way I now think about investing: Once I read this, I immediately had an "oh duh" moment. I had been trying to follow Buffet's strategies for the past year and a half to learn and grow my income, how could I have missed this simple opportunity? If you buy stake in Berkshire Hathaway's call A Shares for an easy $294,385.34, you get to attend his annual share holders meeting in Omaha, Nebraska at no charge. Here you will get to meet with 40,000 others in CenturyLink Center and hear Warren Buffett and his partner ...
