What companies did you invest in because you believe they will radically change our future?

Most of the posts I have been seeing lately generally discuss the valuation of a certain companies or how much dividends they pay with no much discussion about the impact they have on our society.

So here’s a different question to the community, what companies did you invest in not only to grow your wealth but also because you absolutely believe these companies will shape the future of everyone (not just those using the product). And what do you think their impact will be?

Thoughts on trimming positions?

Hey all,

I’ve been investing for a few years, and am by no means an expert but wanted to get some opinions on trimming positions once a stock has gone on a pretty nice run.

For e.g. I bought Apple when it had dipped a lot back in March and have seen a very steady rise over the past few months.

I am sitting at about an 18% gain on my Apple position and am wondering if it would be prudent to trim my positions to take some profits now?

I also do not need the money right now at all, so I am wondering if given this, is trimming any position always a good idea once that particular stock has gone on a nice little run.

The only advantage I can think of trimming is taking those profits and investing them in something else, while still holding onto Apple. Although, I can’t think of many more companies I have more faith in than Apple right now and still think it will climb higher.

Thanks in advance for you’re opinions!

Investors and fans of videogaming: Can this work?

Hey just to preface, I understand that this post might be more appealing to fans of SEGA or video-gaming in general, but since it is about investing in the company, it should be appropriate to post here also, right?

So I was thinking that since SegaSammy (who I think runs SEGA now) issues common stock, their shares would be considered voting shares right? If this is the case then you should be able to vote on the following:

Ratifying decisions made by the board of director
Electing board of directors

Generally a single individual would need a boat load of shares to even affect decision-making of any kind. However, what if a boat load of small-time investors banded together as a group and made decisions as a single entity?

Where am I going with this? Well I happened upon this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ufcstreamsonfite/

the only person out there who is unhappy with where SEGA is these days (or really has been for decades).

So is something like what I have suggested possible?

My understanding of all of this might be quixotic, but I figure that unless I put it out there and generate a good discussion and get feedback from people more knowledgeable than me, I won’t know why.

Live on dividends? Have you noticed that the dividend yield of core bond funds is dropping every month?

As a nearly retired person, who expects to drop out of the corporate rat race next year, an ever-increasing percentage of my assets have moved to Bond Funds. These include investments like AGG, BND, FTBFX, and VBTLX.

Recently I have noticed that the dividends of these total bond ETFs and Mutual Funds have been dropping. About 30% since 2019. I can understand why when the Federal Reserve is buying bonds and keeping the rates low for savers and borrowers. But these low yields will greatly impact the returns people get from the bond funds for the upcoming future. Lowering total investment returns for your total portfolio.

Are you bailing out of Bond Funds due to falling yields?
