Remember everyone that the appreciation potentials mentioned in the OP were based on prices at that time. Some things have risen substantially, and others not so substantially. Wink

I've been following this thread for a while with great interest and I think you've clearly proven that the way you pick your portfolio works, however I don't understand some of your decisions.

You mentioned that you intend to generally keep each of your picks for the long run. What that in mind, what do you see in for example NLG and your newly acquired MCO?

NLG has no potential outside of the Netherlands and I can't see this one gain any significant market cap. As for MCO, this might be a good one for the very short term but on the long term there are too many uncertainties and a questionable team behind it. It has scam written all over it IMO.

Well, I think like as you. MCO is an ICOs project success in recent time, this is project about Visa Debit card and Black Card for cryptocurrency. But look at history, the idea of MCO very similar to Tokencard and it have some issue with US. Long-term is not good choice for this project

I dont see national limits for anything thats good, and other than that perceived limitation, I dont see too many negatives for NLG just the opposite. MCO is one hell of a project that could surprise a lot of people. The business model is proven and theyve got EVERYTHING in place already. If MCO flops, itll be one of the biggest surprises Ive ever had.

As for keeping things for the long run, I think thats only for things like P&G and 3M. Wink

When I mentioned long term on the OP, I put it into quotation marks for a reason: long term here is intermediate term anywhere else. That having been said, I do try to work with prospects that have good long term possibilities - in case I become a bagholder - but Ill be doing my very best to trade in and out of those same issues, basically getting overweight or underweight but probably never completely liquidating, although I do reserve the right to do so, which could include trips to fiat and back.

Created an account to comment on this thread- read the whole thing.
As someone who grew up reading stocks as a young kid and later on building businesses, understanding markets and consumers and human intent in general, I can see that you're a smart guy (or maybe you're a girl idk).
I think people are greatly underestimating how early this tech is right now. As in, we're still in the very very early stages of development, where it's still the 'wild west'.

I'd love to pick your brain, I'm completely new to this market but have been in the industry for a long time. Let me know if you ever consider it. Keep up the good work

Stick around. Maybe we can both learn from each other.

I've read most of the thread and your returns are pretty good: congratulations!

but let me ask you a question, and shill a bit:
are you aware that NXT will be upgraded to ARDR ?
If so, why don't you hold any ARDR (Ardor)
once ardor goes live (july-september) the nxt value will decrease very fast

My understanding is that you'll get as many Ardor tokens as the average of your NXT balance during those three months. Ardor for the price of Nxt now, and I get to keep ½ of my original Nxt too! Correct me if Im wrong. https://www.nxter.org/the-nxt-2-0-token-distribution/ Not sure though; when things look too good to be true, they probably are.

Again, Im employing short term trading and portfolio management principles here in a long[er] term effort to make a lot of money as richak said, were still in the very early stages. If you can find some good winners and ride the waves, I think you should do very well in crypto. Even the long term buy and hold and forget about it until youre retired approach should pay off extremely well, provided you get a majority of winners, of course. The key in all respects is finding the winners, and then everyone adapts their participation to their risk tolerance and financial resource levels. What Im doing is very middle of the road and could be drawn upon by everyone from the most speculative to the most conservative I think.

Thanks everyone for your comments - I read them all and if I didn't respond to yours, it's because it was answered in another reply or in general - your participation is greatly appreciated!
