Since I have been in finance since Reagan was president, I know I'm not sophisticated enough to pick,predict and plan companies futures.
This is what I did. Since 1984 I have contributed my max to the 401 and the ROTH faithfully each month to this day. Also my wifes funds, the same amounts.
I have only used Fidelity Sector Mutual Funds. 90%of the max contri was put evenly in 4 sectors.
1-Technology Fund
2-Leisure fund
3- Biotechnology fund
4-Computers
Some fund names have changed over almost 40 yrs.
I have never made one trade since 1984 with that 90%
The 10% left over was my Drunken Sailor Fund. This was my race track all or nothing fund. 5% in 2 funds traded a million times in a totally blind guessing game of total nonsense. Anything from utilities (good choice) to Gold and Metals(Idiot choice). So I had fun with some of the stash. But throwing a dart blind folded at the newspaper is as reliable. Lol
Overall how do you think I did? Remember 90%of that dough has been parked and never moved. Oodles of cobwebs on them.
