Title: my current holdings- made 3.5x my money in the past 6 months.
Post by: monkeymustache on October 06, 2017, 08:03:22 AM
Hey guys, I am a long time lurker and crypto enthusiast, I just wanted to get some opinion about my portfolio in case you guys think I am going to miss something big. It has been a very good portfolio so far, but I guess there is always room for improvement.

In order of importance:

BTC
Monero
ETH
NEO
LTC
Bitquence - BQX (would like your opinions on this one)
Civic
ETC
OMG
Waves
Qtum
PAY
XRP
Safex

researching to add:

Lisk
ARK
Xspec
SYS
Shift
Walton
STRAT
GAS
BAT

I know it is a really big portfolio, especially with the coins I am thinking about adding and it is already pretty hard to follow. But I figured all I would need would be 2 or 3 of them that really kicks off would be enough to put me in the green even if the rest go to 0.

Do you think I am missing an important coin? Disagreeing with the owning multiple coins strategy?

Thank you.

You should add lisk, stratis and bat to your portfolio but I think you shouldn't hold such many coins. Choose 5 or 7 coins that you can trust in the long term most. It would be more profitable.

That was a big portfolio. For me I would just hold 5 - 7 as you have suggested. Its gonna be hard in your end to track all of this. I think you should sell some of them and really stick to the coins that have a good potential based on your investigation.

BTC

And 6 other alt coins like:
Monero
ETH
NEO
OMG
Waves
Lisk

Thanks for your advice guys. Ill try to make the portfolio smaller, but I have a really hard time figuring out which ones I should remove as I do think that most of those coins have a better future than where they are now.

I will look into IOTA to. I never really researched about it as I remember I did not like what I was reading about a few months back but to be honest, I don't even remember what it was.

why you do not add ripple in your portfolio, the coin is rank 3 in coinmarketcap and very potential.
Please do your research on ripple.

Yup I got it. Noted as XRP. Just got a little of it. Actually not a fan. Just own it for pure speculations reasons.

My picks are:
Monero
ETH
NEO
Civic
OMG
Waves
Qtum
PAY
Lisk
ARK
SYS
Safex

Commonly I don't have a lot of BTC. BTW Safex or SYS could be the next big thing in the marketplace sphere.

Well you do have quite a broad scattering of currencies
in that portfolio. Im not sure if many people have.That
brroad of a collection.

The main thing in my opinion is that you have the old
reliables are present, bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, monero,
Ripple but no dash?

if you were really trading in the past 6 months you could have easily made 8x profit from XRP alone. it had a really awesome pump at the start of your investment and because of it the price of XRP went up to 24000 satoshi and that means more than 6x profit if you caught it even midway up to the pump. and a much smaller profit to even losing money if holding it for too long.

6 months ago XRP: 3000 satoshi
top of the pump XRP: 24000 satoshi
profit from selling on top: 8x (700%)
current XRP price: 4000-5000 satoshi
profit from holding: 1.3x (33%)


this is true for all the rest of the altcoins in your list by the way.

I like that monero is 2nd on your list  ;D
I like the look of your portfolio, not  to dissimilar to mine. I'm checking out the coins you have that i haven't grabbed.

Monero is first in my heart haha. Just own bitcoins on 1 because its bitcoin. Bitcoin is my wife that I cheat on with Monero. Telling monero that one day she will be first in my life.

Yup you are right, thing is, that is my current portfolio, before that I was trading. Making some mistakes, cashing out, making good moves, adding money to my trades. So yeah Not just putting all my money in at the positions I currently have 6 months ago.

My biggest regret was moving some money out of Monero a bit before the recent massive pump. But hey, you live and learn and I keep learning.

We got a pretty similar portfolio. I agree on safex and sys. I do think they have a possibility of a bright future.

I use to like DASH but now that it is out that they are not as private as I once thought anyway, I moved the money I had in it to Monero. I know that dash has a lot more useful features than just "privacy" but that kind of put me off. Perhaps I took a very impulsive decision tho. I will research more about dash too and try to evaluate its growth potential.

Nope, I bought my first few NEO when they were 7$ if I remember correctly, Made x3 on the money I put in it. Sold half of it to daytrade and then added back to my position when it was in the high 20. I sold none of it when it reached the 50s as I was confident it would touch 100 soon. (i still think that, just not as soon as I thought).

So yeah, I gradually put more money during that 6 months period. I would have definitely been better of going all in 6 months ago, I am aware of that.

Just make sure monero doesn't find out about all those dirty alts you've got on the side ;)

Damn look at that difference between selling and holding, makes me look at things in a different light.

you might love AVT to add too your holdings. all the coin you hold is a great coin, such as bitcoin where the value is sky rocket today.  for me im holding AVT  and BMC and maybe i would add many more coin that might grow in the future.

That indeed is a big portfolio . I wonder how hard would it be for you to cope up with all of them.
The coins you  have are all really great for an investment. I think ARK and STRAT must be a good deal of investment from the list you mentioned. I am myself planning on to invest some of my money in these coins.

Ill look them up when I have a bit more time. I never heard of them.

It is actually getting pretty hard to handle. I am hesitating in between choosing good projects, investing in them and closing my eyes (still leaving them a bit open). Or pinpointing my favorite 10 and being able to stay informed and updated to the last news all the time.

I really feel like I checked mate myself at this point tho as I have no idea of what coins I should ditch and which I should add to be my perfect 10. I like the coins I own and believe that most of them will take off.

I would feel bad to sell some positions now too as some were bought just before the recent correction at the beggining of september, so most of them havent fully recovered yet.

Probably hes not selling in the peak of the price, deciding to wait for a moment and ended up selling at the low price, just got trapped by the rumour regarding china's ban toward ICO maybe.
and quite agree that he should have made more profit than he mentioned, such a strange move indeed.

Yeah I could have made a lot more but I mentioned that I gradually invested my money during that 6 months period. So not all my money had time to do the x8. so nothing weird here. + I sold nothing before the september correction. Just that sets me back almost x2. Well hopefully the market will turn bullish again, but as of now, I have a 50-50 feeling about it. No matter what happens tho I wont cash out anything, I am in for the long run, hoping that this time, I could catch a x8 with all my money in.
