2017

I am a stock trader. I been trading stocks for 4 years and spend an average of 4 hours a day watching the stock market, reading books and learning everything I can about the stock market.  I have created this blog to document the Every Man Stock Trading Portfolio (EMSTP) strategy, goals, portfolio and recommendations.

EMSTP had a tremendous year in 2016, averaging up to 20% profits on the whole portfolio.  Had some great stock successes in Disney, TDOC, BAC, INSY, CHIT, etc.  Also we had a couple lows as well in a couple risky trades in the Marijuana and Pharmaceutical Market.  The successes clearly outweighed the losses.

In 2017, EMSTP stock goal for the year is focused on consolidation, diversification, and beating the S&P 500 index. I am shooting for 20% gains across the board.  EMSTP is diversified portfolio but it does take limited risks.  EMSTP primary focus is to buy stocks when they hit rock bottom, buy low and sell high.

EMSTP tracks over 300 stocks on a daily basis that includes technology, health, retail, pharmaceutical, Marijuana, Financials and Energy.

EMSTP stock goals for 2017:

- Make 20% gains over the year.
- 50% of the portfolio is dedicated to a long-term strategy (Passive).
- 50% of the portfolio is dedicated to a short-term active strategy.
- Quick wins and Dividend profits are added to the long-term stocks.
- Build up a stock portfolio that increases $30 to 50K a year for the next 5 years.
- Receive small amount of dollars of dividend surpluses a month and add to passive stocks.
