Good businesses, but applying true buffett principles here the margin of safety is basically non existent. Looking at the raw valuation models, paying 77x earnings for pwr right after it ripped is pure momentum chasing, not value. Same with cohr, the optical data center thesis is real, but their Q2 earnings just showed operating cash flow dropping 69% while capex spiked. FCF is literally negative right now, which is exactly why the stock tanked 12% after they reported despite the top line beat. To actually manage a portfolio with under-the-radar infra plays that aren't completely priced to perfection, the midstream energy or legacy grid operators are much more insulated. something like ENB pays a massive dividend while the grid expands, or IRM is quietly pivoting legacy vaults into high margin data centers at a fraction of tech multiples. They are great companies but at these prices, any slight execution miss is going to get crushed

MO has been very nice. EPD is good. VZ is a good dividend but I don’t particularly like the stock same with O. I used to like IRM but it’s gone up so much lately the yield is low and I’m afraid it might be overvalued.

I like REITs, they’re only like 5% of my portfolio. Thought I had a higher allocation so I’ll probably start buying more now. I’m in on PLD, EPR, IRM and DLR. So still kinda heavy into the AI game, I’ve done pretty well on these picks but again I thought I had a more variety here. Will have to look into some other options, office/residential isn’t my fave but maybe I’ll find one I like.
Pure stock IRM 300% only bought $1k. But with its monthly divided, I am sure it's past 500% Options, CMG in 2018. I avg down my position and bought $1k of Options at .50 per. Literally 30 minutes before their new CEO news. I had no idea about it. It was like my 4th option TRADE ever. Went as high as $48. I sold most along the way. This was the trade upon which I built my IRA.
im definitely learning the 60/40 rule is probably not my friend at my age, so i was figuring 80/20 is probably a better choice. im thinking in might go with a 32% - FTIHX 48% - FXAIX 10% - FBIIX 10% - VXUS 15% - REIT (IRM). but im still trying to read about all this stuff, honestly i think thats why so few people actually invest or pay attention to thier retirements, theres just too much to have to learn and pay attention to

If you do a good research balancing and time your dividends, you get great returns. Everytime the market dips you have rotating money to grab high % divs based on false dips. The last dip wasn't exactly a super free money machine to the same degree, but man... Covid, you knew EVERY stock was half price. You knew they were going back up. And you knew that you could borrow money at 6% while getting paid 10-15% Bro... someone sold me sunoco for TWELVE FUCKING DOLLARS. They sold XOM for... oh man my memory, 30 something? They sold IRM for 20 something. They sold MO for 20 something. They sold ET for fucking $3 THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE DOLLARS. Free money is always lurking. But anyway, when the market dips so that everything goes down, 3-5% dividend stocks give you 6+% AND default growth. Market is what? 10% avg. 6% you need 4 more. 4% growth, with some active trading of false depressions will easily get you another 5%. That's 15 vs the 10, without even trying. And you can constantly adjust your portfolio. Due to broker switching. And your "worst" case is usually that during a down market you get your 6% of your original money to buy more depressed stocks.
IRM is my favorite slow burn grow stock and I won’t apologize for it.
I like to move money around and am running 32%. So I can't stop until I can afford to stop. Lol. Someday I'd like to sit on a lazier investment strategy, but for now I need rapid growth. You know that making 32% when you're poor will take a very very long time to make you not poor? That sucks don't it? Lol. The other issue is that stock price analysis, is part reality and part investor sentiment/psychology. IRM could well be 121 in 2027, but if people are in a mental state, it might be $95. No big deal for a solid wealth holder, but a big deal when the wealth it is holding is not big enough. Lol. IRM into the 50s, had what I would term literally zero risk. No downside. IRM at 100, has psychological downside to 50. Basically, I only invest in "IRM at 50" and then I leave when it gets going to 100, and find another IRM at 50. There is always something that is oversold to the no downside risk, especially when shorts get too excited. Takes a lot of reading and analyzing the basic bones of the businesses and that they can't go lower. In a decade or so, I can hopefully stop needing 30% and just sit on a variety of IRM like stocks and some solid ETFs, balance the ones that grow and pay that little dividend. Make 40K/year spending cash while still growing the portfolio at 4-6%..... the dreammmmmmmmm
I miss IRM, I did a lot of swing trading and div catching for a while, but it skyrocketed without a dip the last swing I made and I had to move on. It's too high now, for my current strategies. But if we get a little crash crash again, that's one I will love on artifical firesale.
IRM is the only REIT (it’s really a not but is structured legally as one) that I invest in actively for both growth and dividends.

[Iron Mountain (IRM) Stock Forecast and Price Target 2025](https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/IRM/forecast/) Because almost all market analysts were saying buy or strong buy for months...
153 trailing PE, 3 consecutive quarters of earnings misses, assets declining, liabilities increasing (though assets to liabilities are nearly 1:1)… net income is increasing, so there’s that. I try to think about whether or not a position or move is a top 5 idea for the capital. I can’t square IRM.
Iron Mountain (IRM) was a stock I was looking at last October. Never ended up buying any, but the valuation looks more attractive now than it did then. I like the concept of data preservation, and they could be an interesting buy-and-hold for the very long term. (Especially if it drops any more.) Googled it on a whim so I don't know *why* it's fallen, but might be worth a look for after work.
Most of mine were just reading finance articles online looking for stock tips. I bought NVDA low but sold it too early. More than doubled my money on RDDT buying shortly after the IPO. I'm way up on IRM but have sold some recently.
I am still fond of Iron Mountain (IRM). They are a records storage company. They are classified as a REIT because they own or lease a lot of warehouses to store records. They get paid to pick up the records and just store them. Their only task and liability is to not lose them, so they have good inventory control. They pay a nice dividend and increase in value at the same time. What's not to love ?
It held at $95 all day Friday. It’s hard to imagine Musk’s comments causing days or weeks of losses if there was so much price support at $95 after both his comments and IRM earnings last week. Their mines could easily be repurposed as billionaire bunkers or penal colonies in the future even if the physical storage division goes bust, which it likely won’t if it’s still thriving after decades of digitization.

Iron Mountain (IRM) took a 7% hit Friday after earnings to hit a 90 day low ($93.94) but didn’t actually have a bad report. Price held around $95 and closed at $95.41. The 90 day high is $130.24. Seems like it has some room for short term growth.

Iron Mountain (IRM) down nearly 20% off their ATH from the end of October, including that hefty 6.25% decline today. Someone suggested looking into it as a 'boring' but solid pick for long term investment and this looks like a reasonable opening to jump in as this has cooled the price back down to July levels. However, even including this recent drop it's up 50% this year based off of their investments in data centers. I like the *idea* of the company. Storing paper records, magnetic tapes, building data centers for backups: all of it feels like something essential for a company that wishes to keep their data safe and I can't realistically see us begin creating *less* documentation/data in need of backing up.
Hey thanks for the comment. The stock I own is pretty tech heavy, VOO, SWPPX, SPLG and a few random stocks like TKO, JNJ and IRM. My retirement situation is pretty decent. I've been saving for the last 25 years and at 20% for the last eleven years. However, I had a good size chunk just sitting in a savings account. Since then, I've bought CD's, moved to a high yield money market but really only increased my stocks from 5% overall to 10% overall. With my CDs coming up and really not much higher than my money market rate, I'm considering moving a lot of the CD money into stocks. I just wanted to double check to see if I'm not missing something obvious before taking the CD money and putting into stocks.
Is IRM a buy here? 
>to set you up for the rest of your life Meaning I would sell at some point. NVDA, TPL, HWKN, IRM, COST
There is a reason why Buffet has so much cash on the sidelines. The stock market valuation is higher than ever, without underlying metrics to support it. Take a look at a stock like IRM and tell me how you can justify the capital appreciation. COST is a great business, but I can probably very easily pick 100 stocks I'd buy before them at current valuation.
I don’t have 1m yet but I do what OC said. Bought Spotify in 2023 up 540%, up 150% on AMD since 2022, up 20% on CART over 3 months, up 25% on CHWY, 67% on GOOG, 50% on HD, 18% on MBLY, 18% on TSCO, 50% on AAPL, 160% on IRM (use at work), and 47% on WM. Every company that I bought bc I use the product is beating the market from when I purchased. So yeah not a millionaire yet, but I will be very quickly because of this.
Fair enough! Might sell my REIT position in IRM.
I had a 300% gain on IRM, damn right I sold
I bought TSLA near the IPO. They went up some, I bought some more. Then they tanked. And kept tanking. I held on because I thought they had a lot of potential. Maybe two years later I was strapped for cash and had to liquidate. I took a 50% loss literally the week before they started to climb. They flatlined for a few years but I had been burned and did not buy back in. There are bunch of others MCD, BX and most recently IRM that I have also gotten out of just before they pop and hold. Many like LCID I made a ton on, then lost it by holding too long. The lesson is that I suck at timing the price changes of individual stocks. I am now a huge fan of QQQ and TQQQ. It has at least a bit of diversity built in.
You’re right about using public clouds for those large companies. But the really giant mega caps (amzn, Google, msft and meta specifically) are going to be building data centers for their ai ventures. They already said they are and are investing in nuclear power to help power the ai farms and data centers. But yeah outside the data needed for ai farms it is better for them to use public cloud. IRM is definitely expensive, I bought it like 18 months ago and I’m up almost 150% and I didn’t think it was cheap when I got it lol. But they are growing fast and have a pretty solid plan for expanding
I'm not so sure I agree there (I work in tech space industry). Most companies are consoldiating into the public clouds (AMZN/MSFT/GOOGL/ORCL). Even your large SaaS players - CRM/WDAY/VEEV/NFLX etc are using the public clouds. It makes no sense to build their own because they cannot scale it fast enough compared to cloud provider's already global deployment. Also data residency has become more of an issue so unless you are a megacap tech company, you are not building multiple datacenters (for redundancy) in every country to win business. I think IRM is currently one of the most overvalued stocks out there - but congrats to you if you're on the plus side. Also bought some many years ago when they switched to REIT status.
I own DLR and IRM, they are both benefiting from data center buildouts yes.
Wow IRM has exceptionally bad fundamentals. You don't find stocks like this very often.
Any other plays like that. I am currently looking at IRM as a similar play, however, it may take some time so I am doing this with LEAP Puts. I did this previously with Ferrelgas years ago.
Yea. PE firms often give you great tips on what to invest in. Blackstone/BX was pounding the table on data centers and even bought out a publicly traded data center REIT in June 2021. If you had took the risk and bought IRM in 2021-2022. You would be up over 100% on your shares.
IRM earnings 6 Nov. Buy calls now and thank me later.
I don’t know. I’m hesitant to add more, but they are growing revenue at like 15% and FCF at nearly 20%. They also service like 90% of F1000 companies and have 220k+ clients overall, so it’s not like it’s going anywhere but it does seem expensive so maybe it’ll be volatile. One thing I believe, is data centers are going to be in huge demand and IRM is investing heavily in data centers. They already have the clients and can basically set the price. But I don’t know how to set a valuation for that.
Alright i built the final BOSS all of these are CALLS : MLCO,HIMS,CELH,CLOV,ARM,DKNG,LUMN,IRM feel free to add or say otherwise i want this list to be perfect and i feel good for each one of them
IRM wish I would've bought more
I have done well owning Iron Mountain (IRM). It has dividends and growth.
I’ll probably get downvoted cuz people hate it, but most of these I got from the Motley Fool. I started out listening to their podcasts (motley fool money and rule breaker investing), then my grandfather had a subscription and let me use it and I liked their analysts videos so I got the cheapest subscription. People hate it bc their advertising is aggressive and they promote a ton of hype stocks that are extremely over valued. But I learned to weed those out, from buying into some and losing money. There are a few specific analysts I like that have similar investing strategies as myself so I take some of their ideas. I always do my own research too and try to avoid their overhyped stocks, super expensive stocks and unprofitable/pre revenue stocks. I like to buy and hold then DCA/add to the winners. However, like you I sometimes struggle to buy more when they’re performing really well. Like AXON and IRM have done really well for me, but I just can’t seem to get myself to buy more bc of the price and how fast they went up. But companies like HD or DLR that just steadily beat the market without crazy jumps I was able to add up on. Sometimes I do some trading, usually end up regretting it bc I miss out on gains. So I’m trying to teach myself to just buy and hold. Don’t add to losers, but add to winners when a good opportunity arises. This is another reason I like the Motley Fool, they have a live show every morning for subscribers and many of their analysts have this approach and help keep me calm when the market is volatile. They discuss some of their winners and how companies like Netflix have had 5 70%+ drawdowns over the last 15 years, but if you help the whole time you’d have really great returns. If you added when it dropped (or after as it starts to recover), then you’d be very wealthy after awhile. If you don’t add to losers, then they tend to not have a large enough impact on your portfolio to matter if they drop down 90% so why sell? An example for me is $ME I had a starter position just a couple hundred bucks and it tanked. I road it out for a m year at a 90% loss and selling wouldn’t matter bc it was like $20, on the off chance it became a real winner like a Netflix situation I still had it and could monitor it and add in if it did come around. I did end up selling for some tax loss harvesting. A similar situation was RKLB, I first bought in at like $15 a couple years ago. Road it all the way down to $3, but I really really was convinced in the company and even though it wasn’t a winner I added more to get my cost basis down to the low 4s, now it’s around $11-12 again and I think it still is a 10-20 bagger in the next 5-10 years. Sorry for the wall of text. TL;DR is to simply buy good companies at good prices. Do your own research. Invest for the long term.
As a IRM holder, this is a fair comment. It IS expensive, but they have really great growth in two important areas so it’ll probably be okay.
