Picked up some more shares of QYLD after it dipped below the 30 RSI. The ex-dividend date is today with and expected payout on Oct 27th of $.2167

I figured it would be easier to create a blog to update family and friends on my current portfolio and give the reasoning behind each investment. As a disclaimer, these are my personal views on my investments and I am not a financial advisor. Please consult with a professional before making any investments.

I started out this portfolio focusing on dividend and value stocks but over time I seen that growth stocks produced the biggest gains so I started to focus more on Tech putting an emphasis on ETFs rather than a single stock. 

Being that making one post giving the reasoning behind each position (plus charts)  would be way too long, I'll be breaking it up between three or four positions at a time. The following is a breakdown on ARK Invest ETFs.

The single most important family of holdings I have in my portfolio. The Ark Invest ETFs (ARKK, ARKG, ARKF, ARKQ & ARKW) are collectively the highest performers and have been outpacing the S&P for the last four years. ARK Invest family of holding are geared towards disruptive innovation.

The ARKK ETF is a blend of the holdings in ARKF, ARKQ, ARKG & ARKW. If you only have enough capital to invest in one of the Ark family etfs this would be the one. I'll probably add if the price drops down to $100 and watch it closely when it breaks $104.

The ARK ETF (ARKG) focuses on biotechnology with a focus on genomics. Performance wise this has been a slow starter for the past few months but once it broke past resistance at $64 it's been smooth sailing. Looking to add more to my position at $76.

The ARK ETF (ARKF) focuses on innovative financial technology such as blockchain, peer-to-peer and mobile payment technology like Square. With the advent of covid-19 these technologies will become more commonplace in the future and with a current trading price under $44, this may be one of the best values yet.

The ARK ETF (ARKQ) focuses on autonomous driving, robotics, materials along with next-gen energy and space exploration. One of the most solid performers of all the ARK ETFs, I'm looking to add to this position when it gets to a break of $65.

The ARK ETF (ARKW) has a combination of cloud computing, block chain, peer-to-peer and electronic commerce technologies. ARKW is the highest performer of all the ARK Innovation ETFs. Looking to add around $123 anticipating a break of $125.

I wanted an relatively stable closed-end fund with a pretty decent dividend and found that with PTY. This bond fund pays 9.35% dividend with a monthly payout but be advised that it also has an 1.3% expense ratio that will eat into your payouts. For the time being I plan on holding with my current position and possibly adding in after a break of $18.50.

Another closed-end fund that tracks the Nasdaq 100 with a 6.35% dividend that pays out quarterly and a .91% expense ratio. For the time being this will be a hold.

This Global X Fund ETF has been the mainstay of my dividend portfolio with an 11.69% dividend that pays monthly along with a .6% expense ratio. I've been carrying this ETF for a few months and it's slow and steady growth, even during times of high volatility, ensures me that this will be a position I'll hold even through retirement. 

Just my luck the day I started a position in this ETF it decides to drop.  Seriously though, I had wanted to increase my exposure to innovative ETFs so I decided to invest in this high preforming Solar ETF by Invesco which I suspect would receive a boost if there is a Democratic victory in the election this November.  I started my position around $75 and plan to hold with an alert set at $68. If it dips below the 30 RSI I plan on adding more shares.
