My portfolio review
After a short period of January 19 to February 8 when the market corrected it was sprinting up high again. Recently it slowed down, however my indicators shows a positive divergence, so I am expecting the market continuing its run next week.
My holding of Visa (V) is doing well and after a short decline it turned up again and continues upwards. However Devry (DV) is declining sharply almost every day since I have added my initial position. It is getting close to its 50 day MA and my stop loss. I moved the stop loss higher to follow 50 day MA. If the stock breaks down through this support, I am done with this stock and moving on.
I do not understand this move and the only explanation is a profit taking or correction, because I couldn’t find anything wrong with this company. Let’s see the next week what the stock will do.
However I am analyzing new stocks for purchase and I am planing on opening a new position. Here are the stocks I am reviewing:
DLTR, FDO, FRM, G, GCO, HEI, IDC, MPAA, OSTK, RLRN, ROLL, TGI, & TNK
Lending Club
Recently I was looking for other investing opportunities and I came up with investing in debt notes. I found Lending Club as a good opportunity. Investing into debt notes is quite risky business, but I decided to give it a try. It can provide an average gain of 6% – 9%, which seems to me as a great deal. However a risk of delinquencies is present and may diminish your invested money. What I have read so far, the goal is to diversify your money among as many notes as possible, rather than purchasing a few large notes.
I invested $300 so far to probe this investing vehicle and I will be adding more funds over time up to $1,000 and see how good or bad deal investing into debt notes is. Here is the review of my Lending club account:
