I've been buying a bit of LAND this year. It's specialty farms that keeps my desire to own land in check. Nice dividend (perhaps a bit unsustainable). Anyone else own this? There aren't many land-based REITs so it's a good fit for me.

I own a little bit of this. Interesting investment. Do we get to say we own a little bit of land since we own this investment?

yes, it's like buying 1 square foot in england and claiming you're a prince...
i'm wondering how much of this is too much. i love what they buy and i love their geographic diversification.
SHOP and BZUN have been a lot of fun for me this year. SHOP is predicted to be the next AMZN, but who knows. It's been a lot of fun and doesn't appear to have any headwinds yet.
Yikes, congrats on the run so far but I've seen this story before. Amazon is a beast itself but barely makes money for a company its size. Let's just say that nothing is the next Amazon. FANG stocks are vastly overvalued but who knows when they come back to reality.
One stock I've been impressed with is Canada Goose. Right before their IPO I went to NYC and saw that every type of person was sporting a GOOS coat and the line to the retail store was down the block an hour before they opened and knew I had to own it. Still might be opportunity there. It's not a hotshot or anything but I feel like it's going to be decent for the long term.
A few weeks back I had heard a couple of people talking about a fund that guaranteed annual returns around 10%. Does anybody know what that might be?
i don't recall that, but if someone *guarantees* any high return i'd run away fast.
No such thing and I wouldn't trust anyone that even mentioned it. Hell if I could find something guaranteed for 1/2 that amount I'd be happy t park my emergency fun into it. Instead it sits in a savings account earning 1%.
I know all about this fund send me 10 grand to my offshore bank account and I'll get you in.
Didn't think it would take that long, but good for you for holding as I will too.
If you have the patience and resources; I'd hold on as GILD delivered what the big boys wanted - an acquisition and you can see from the buy-side balance some big funds have moved in.
Gene splicing therapy for cancer, which they acquired from KITE, will develop just like they grew the HepC therapy.
Hang in there. It will happen. It always has.
Your challenge is deciding when to buy and sell. You have to be able/willing to do both..
@ChrisMWilliams
What are your thoughts on UA's price to earnings ratio, debt load, income statement, and their dividend payouts?
i've bought too many duds over the years and not sold enough winners when they were high. i'm still up, as is everybody who's been in for years, but the buy-and-hold has served me far, far better than trying to trade stocks.
Hmm, this looks like an interesting one to own. Fairly stable and good dividend. Might have to get some.
