One thing both you and TB have in common is your willingness to share your portfolio composites with the rank and file , and that is ,ore than helpful as you seem to agree that for every one in your class there is 20 or 40 in mine who aspire to emulate you threes successes. You seem to be the only one who uses ,margin and your past posts have seemed you use it very judiciously.and it obviously has worked for you , but to be honest it scares me especially with still high interest rates. I would welcome any comments about my choices in sectors and you will notice l no longer hold any reits , healthcare or industrials other than CHE with along with DBM are each a 5 percent weight for me. Thankyou for your last reply , the one thing dispite our unfortunate differences of the last few years is you are nothing if not scrupulously honest when it comes to when it comes to your holdings good bad and indifferent. Any comments you may make will be considered in a serious manner.Finally as you and TB and Stormy are big div investors l have to wonder why there does not seem to be any ETF participation in your portfolios. It's also a shame that the old days are no more , that l also regret. .

Also NEVER used a Margin account based on our mental risk factors or  our   large Line of Credit (established in late 90's ) to be used as a safety net ..but Never used a penny. even thou my best   buddy who has been direct market self  investing since age 17 also has some OLD lovely paper

Hey TimeBuilder__JUDICIOUS Use of MARGIN__Looking at EveryThing I DO on an AFTER TAX Basis__And Starting, a Decade Ago, ESTATE PLANNING__Have BEEN My 3 PILLARS__Which I VERY STRONGLY Suggest ALL Self Directed INVESTORS NEED to CONSIDER Doing.
