Timing wise Elite Traders may not be too happy today as the last few times we have reached out from the home office, the market has immediately turned tail and nosedived into a correction. What can we say? There are indicators and there are indicators. In the past it has been our happiness and joy at correctly picking stocks that brought us breathlessly to these pages, this time after a few years of the market going nowhere and with the prospect of retirement in the future it is with a more somber, less speculative tone that we address the Elite Trading community.
One look at the stocks forum tells me all I have to know-- You people are bored out of your shorts, there isn't a unique idea being presented. This fine web site has the ability to be interesting and fun but for that to happen some more interesting fun people have to get involved.
A lot has happened to our ET Portfolio so much so that we cannot even begin to put the pieces back together. Some of the ideas that have worked out great and that we still own we roll into a New ET Portfolio for the Summer retirement period. This brings me to the point of this article: I received a letter in the mail from AARP. It nearly stopped my heart. Apparently I am now old enough to lug around their shopping bag and as such old enough to consider retirement. That's heavy.
It so happens my step father has died recently and I have been in the protracted battle of liberating his IRA from Schwab. This is taking far too long, but VERY soon I will have $80,000 to invest! In this lousy market. I have put in the time researching and researching and BOY do I have the names! Unique Stocks For The Future -USFTF-
1) PYPL-- I am hot for Paypal, This is going to be my largest position. I see the Paypal option more and more when I'm online and it's so much easier than filling out all the card info. It's one click or two click and that is huge. Paypal's most recent earnings report was a thing of beauty. Everything is going right for this company right now. This is a young company without debt, the shares I feel will double in an IRA. My first purchase will be Paypal.
PayPal has reliably increased their growth rate and earnings.They have been able to accelerate user growth from 10% to 11%, revenue has increased from 14% to 19% and earnings per share from 28% to 43%.
2) POOL-- This is a holdover from our last notes here, the stock has been fantastic up $15 or so and there is no reason for it to stop now. Very fractured industry, this large player has the ability to buy growth when they need it and to sell new stuff to existing customers. We are heading into the pool season in more ways than one. This stock just quietly goes up!
3) COR & WPC-- DIVIDENDS! I want some and in fact a small part of me was going to micromanage this IRA by just dividend hopping from one stock to another. I believe there may be a future in analyzing which dividend players step back share wise after paying out and for how long, if one was nimble enough they could really boost the overall return in an IRA. COR is a Cloud storage REIT that sector is amazing, I already own EQIX and there are others.(DFT & DLR) WPC is a well run commercial mortgage REIT. These offer yields of 3%-6%.
4) TMO-- Holdover from our last communication, a life sciences, medical play with strong earnings.

5) Tech stock. I haven't chosen which one yet SIMO looks very strong and has caught my eye. NPTN is a semi has stumbled on margins but potential seems very high. Maybe an IPO will come out that has merit.
This is the plan-- those are the stocks. I have been informed by Mr Charles' legal dept that once I re register the IRA with them (in the process) and then swiftly take it away I shall be fully funded and ready to go with my first IRA! Then what-? I'm not sure, I have ten years or so to build this into a nest egg. Stay tuned. ~stoney
