Peanut's Potent Plethora of Profit

[peanuts]

Peanuts,
Let's keep this thread on page #1. Your MBT-6.79% div. and BWP-7.33% div. are both rated as "strong buys". The older I get , the more exciting these numbers become.

After BWP comes down a little bit more, I will own it as well. Nice dividend payers with long term prospects are what built the stock market in the early 1900's.

My dream is to hit it big with a huge high flyer, but the reality is that slow and steady wins the race. I like "visionary" companies and these higher yielding companies over the long term, Ernie's 15%ers for the shorter term gains, and my own personal mix for the gamble.

Since there has been no response, then I guess that nobody else believed me.... yet again!

Chesapeake Energy knew what I was saying.

Let's dumb it down a little...
BUY CLNE, HOLD FOR MANY MOONS

Here is another reason to buy CLNE and to hold for many moons:

On January 12 Clean Energy (CLNE) announced more details of the planned "Natural Gas Highway". The company has identified 98 locations and plans to have 70 stations open by the end of 2012 in 33 states. Here is a map of the company's planned refueling locations:



The first phase of the plan will be completed by 2013 and will include 150 natural gas refueling stations. Phase 1 is targeting major highway hubs including: the San Diego-Los Angeles-Riverside-Las Vegas cluster and the Texas Triangle (Houston-San Antonio-Dallas/Ft. Worth); CLNE is also targeting high use long-haul routes like Los Angeles-Dallas; Houston-Chicago; Chicago-Atlanta; and a network of stations along major highways in the mid-west region (IL, IN, OH, MO, KY, TN, KS, OK, AL) to serve the heavy trucking traffic in the area.

Peanuts,
My old brain foggily remembered CLNE from somewhere. It turns out I owned it a couple years ago. Can't remember if I bought it too high or just traded it in on another stock, but something else about it caught my curiosity so I looked up major holders and right at #1 is Madeleine Pickens (BooneT.) He owns an LP Honda Civic, saw him showing it off on a 60 minutes show. Can you imagine the $$ he'll have as the nationwide system of refueling stations starts catching on. And virtually no competition. Pickens had problems setting up his string of Wind Turbines bisecting the U.S. but is pulling off the Natural Gas Highway.

CLNE is pretty cheap today. I'm going to buy some more at $14

Mimo, Thanks for mentioning CEF. Mrs. Billy is now a proud owner in her IRA though she doesn't know it yet.

This market seems to be setting up for some big moves... at highs, monetary news from the Gov't & FED, earnings season upon us, end of year around the corner, record fines against biggest banks.

Seems like a great time to be playing volatility. VIX currently at 13

Get your peanuts! Where you been bro??

Life events... marriage, bought a new home, moved (x2 when you count Mrs. Peanuts), sold a home, bought investment real estate, renovated it, and then moved my company to new location and made it a smidgen bigger- setting in motion future growth prospects.

What's new around here? How much can you bench now? I'm impressed with your new win streak. How are the younger huge ones?

Yeah, I saw that in the thread you started. As others have indicated, it seems like a very short term trade. I'm anxious on the entire market... how much longer can we climb on this worrisome wall of data? Considering some longer term put options on SPY

[tiedyed1]

Yes, trading VIIX is a short term and can go either way (although I do think we are in a funky place and this sense that the tide may quickly change will pay off dearly if I am on the right side).

I have similar feelings regarding the market as a whole. I wrote a good number of covered calls on many of my positions yesterday and SPY Puts is definitely a viable hedge.

The last post here was in 2013!!! It's time for an update, even if you don't care.

Marriage has produced much happiness and I guess my potency extends to other aspects of life... I have 2 boys just 14 months apart. They don't know it yet, but they are HUGE! Both are measuring in the 90's (percentile) for height, weight, and head size according to the doctor. They are true blessings to us, and my wife and I intend them to be blessings to the world. Oh wow how my back hurts! And, why am I always tired?

My real estate investments have been one of the best decisions ever... In just 3 years, the market in my location has really picked up and what I paid for my buildings and what they are worth now represents a 73.3% increase in real estate value. On top of that, I have a cash-flowing investment that represents a 9.7% yearly net return on investment. I have made vast improvements to the quality of the units and it has really paid to do so. I'm looking to buy more in my location... empire creating.

My regular business affords us the lifestyle that we want and that's really all for which I could ask. Besides, being your own boss has some pretty good built-in perks.

As far as stock market investing, there has been a lot of changes in strategy. I don't trust Wall Street one bit. Other than the long-term loser-dogs that I still have in my account (CLNE, DDD, FSLR, and TWTR), I do not subscribe the buy and hold strategy. I do not trust the market to be "investment grade" for me. I am only a short-term trader. Rarely do I do a day-trade. My focus is primarily triple ETF's or option trades in no more than 3 different industries. I trade long and short and in different instruments, and do not hold for very long. I'm spooky of pretty much anything in the news and I no longer entertain press releases. There is no honesty... except in one system. That is: Mr. Market Is Huge. I'm telling you, there is nothing like it! It is simple, concise, compounding, and proven. I have been following Mr. Market for quite some time and running fantasy portfolios from his dumps. I know what works!

I am starting a MMIH trading portfolio for my boys. I haven't been able to find a better resource anywhere. Thank you, Ernie!
