Title: What is a healthy securities portfolio? Post by: MonkeyMarcel on July 31, 2013, 08:38:49 AM How should I divide up my BTCT.co profolio in terms of my purchases? Currently I hold 100% of my portfolio in ACTM, but I am scared of the risk with keeping all my eggs in one basket. So I want to diversify.
What do you think of this plan for my portfolio division: 10% Company with 70% confidence level 70% Company with 90 % confidence level 20% Cash reserve (in BTC) to keep my portfolio liquid. This is used to buy into new IPOs. Edit #1 This thread is intended to discuss portfolio investment strategies as a whole, not to discuss different individual investments. Title: Re: What is a healthy securities portfolio? Post by: alphabet on July 31, 2013, 08:56:50 AM Depending how large your holding is of ACTM you very well might not be able to get your investment out without taking a decent sized hit so I hope that you are taking that into consideration when looking at buying into other securities. Secondly while I can't think of many better places to get advice on BTC investments you will be getting a lot of recommendations based on very little knowledge of what works at least in a traditional markets and most likely people trying to get you to buy into whatever they just bought into.
All being said and done however I would also be considering looking into of the the securities which offers fixed payouts such as this (https://bitfunder.com/asset/Ukyo.Loan/) or this (https://bitfunder.com/asset/Graet.Loan/).

The later would be interesting.

This thread is not intended as a discussion on the different type of securities, IPOs, etc.\ Thanx dexX7 :) Title: Re: What is a healthy securities portfolio? Post by: MonkeyMarcel on July 31, 2013, 09:14:55 AM why not buy some put options for your ACTM? I really want to, but I am not comfortable with my knowledge on Options. I was actually thinking of doing this yesterday when my shares where very high as a form of insurance. Just not 100% sure how to do it yet. Title: Re: What is a healthy securities portfolio?

This makes sense with the SEC saga recently which almost shut down BTCT.co to US investors. P.S. I am in South Africa. Title: Re: What is a healthy securities portfolio? Post by: Rannasha on July 31, 2013, 09:18:58 AM why not buy some put options for your ACTM? There isn't enough of an option market on either BTCT or BitFunder to set up a proper option-portfolio to hedge against price drops. Right now there are 2 different put options on BTCT for a total of 306 shares and 1 on Bitfunder. Title: Re: What is a healthy securities portfolio?

We need Market Makers like wall street.(video: http://www.investopedia.com/video/play/role-market-maker/). Title: Re: What is a healthy securities portfolio?
