Blog : Peter Leeds Personal Holdings

by Peter Leeds on July 15th, 2014

With the market hitting new highs, people often ask me what large cap and blue chip stocks I personlly hold.  It can't all be penny stocks, right?

Well, decades ago it used to be 100% penny stocks.  However, after a certain point it did get 'unweildy' to invest big amounts in small companies.

While I do have pretty significant investments in specific penny stocks I like (such as a quarter million into Yangaroo, YOO on TSX, for example), I have had to turn also to bigger companies for the majority of my holdings.

When is comes to penny stocks, I feel it is important to abide by our 100% Unbiased Guarantee... which is why I invented it.  It is probably also why so many newsletter writers have copied it!

Below is a current list of my larger company holdings right now.  These can and do change without notice, and often on a daily basis.

Apple - AAPL
CitiGroup - C  (call options)
John Deere - DE (call options)
Financial Bull 3 Times Returns - FAS
Dollar General - DG
Hercules Offshore - HERO
IBM (call options)
Japan Smaller Cap - JOF
Volatility Index - VXX (call options)
Volatility Index - VXX (put options)
Lumber Liquidators - LL
JP Morgan Chase - JPM
Newmont Mining - NEM
Triple Inverse Crude Oil - SCO
Red Hat - RHT
Gold ETF - GLD (call options)
Gold ETF - GLD (put options)

I have a personal ownership position in every stock mentioned above.  This is in no way a recomendation of any of the shares mentioned above, and in fact, many of them are absolutely innapropriate for the typical investor.  This is especially true of option trades, and even moreso for advance straddling (call and put) options strategies.

In other words, don't buy any of the shares I mention.  This post was merely to answer some questions which are frequently sent my way.
