The power of Portfolio Visualizer. Do your homework peeps.

I haven't learned Portfolio Visualizer yet and I don't know what a "timing portfolio" is, but I don't exactly understand your point, unless it is just "Hey, JNJ has been pretty good the last 22 years."  I'm not knocking it, I just think AVGO has eclipsed it.

Let's say you had $10,000 just 5 years ago.  Had you invested in SHOP @ $28.21, you would now have $520,503.  But that doesn't mean that investing in Shopify is a good investment now either.  You can only make so much of past performance.

The point is that of all the names listed in this thread, except AVGO, were outperformed by a much simpler strategy. Additionally, with MUCH less risk. Point being, do you think you would have been able to dig out AVGO or SHOP BEFORE they exploded? History says not likely. This is all offered as education, do not fall in love with a stock or startegy to the exclusion of all else. Keep an open mind. Here are the results from a portfoilio of the names in this thread, equally weighted not including recent flyers-AVGO and SHOP. Only you can decide if that looks good to you but I will tell that CAGR/Max drawdown is supposed to be a positive number-LOL

Portfolio Returns

I assume you have this saved so please throw AVGO in the mix.  It's not a recent flyer by any stretch.  Broadcom has been a solid tech for about a decade.  Before that it was treading water for years.
