Yes. But I have a person who delves into the 10K/Q documents and researches dividend history as well as balance sheets. An old Goldman Sachs dude who burned out and now just day trades (well, it’s not that simple but let’s just assume that for the sake of this comment). I’m a long-term investor and the individual stocks he recommended have really done quite well. But there were some misses, too (VZ, SJM). I have long term positions in stuff like GS, MMM, C, SPG… stuff that did really bad early on and it took a solid two, three years to gain traction. Re-invested dividends and came out the other side. I’ve since simplified to just index funds. I cash out the dividends and aggressively buy the SP500 index now.
LYB with some wierd MMM today. Keep an eye on the volume I think someone is loading up
Scott Bussyent might actually take you up on it. He's married, but everyone knows conservatives are secretly the most kinky-ass mofos. Plus gay male married couples are more likely to swing or be open to casual encounters. Real question is whether YOU actually want a MMM threeway or not.
MMM and UPS humbled me and made me think deeper. ‘Big, safe’ companies don’t equate to safety or making money.
MMM's are trying like hell to keep it afloat. I say just let go and let God.
Shares? I'm assuming METU is a leveraged ETF, though, which has decay. Look up what happened to MMM a few years ago. Yes, lawsuits can be this big, but even if META loses, it will get negotiated down and paid out over a LONG time. Also, META can hire the best lawyers in the world. This will act as an overhang on the stock until it's resolved, however.

Another MMM Market Manipulation Monday. I’m sick of it.
Dude, my grandpa was HEAVILY invested in MMM (I'm talking like 90% of his full portfolio, well over 7 figures), and when he died the executor sold it without asking the family what we thought. It then proceeded to drop 70% in five years, and I have never wanted to kiss a man more than I did when I realized that executor saved us MILLIONS in losses
Right? But then he says bil instead of “bil (billion/MMM)
MMM feels like a sleeper put play here. Stock is up on the 5D and everyone seems a little too comfy going into earnings, but the valuation is stretched and there’s not much room for weak margins or a soft guide. Holding the 160P because even a “beat” could still get sold if organic growth looks cooked. Classic boomer stock rug pull setup.

MMM SPY coming in clutch with the drill
I'm going to provide extra context, which I think this conversation needs. I opened my brokerage account in 2015 with the goal to get better gains than my checking account which had accumulated too much cash. Lesson/question/change #1: Why didn't I figure out HYSA??? At the time, my father was my coach. He was fully retired, 75 years old, and living on dividends, social security, and pension. His guidance, which made sense to me, was towards dividend paying reliable stocks of companies that we're going to fail. For example MMM or ATT. He told tales of stocks he "couldn't afford to sell due to gains/tax" and the neat companies he had invested in (BGS) that had done so well. It seemed he clearly had it figured out. In time, Dad has passed, I have taken control of his old accounts to provide for my mother. There is clear evidence of emotional investing, and choices he made clearly haven't all panned out. For example, the BGS shares he gifted me are now nearly worthless. Lesson/question/change #2: Dad wasn't a genius and didn't always get it right. Lesson#3: Emotional decision making is frequently not the best. However, my mother remains well provided for, even as her costs skyrocket in assisted living. Dad was a proponent of picking individual stocks. Through time I have largely moved away from this. I continue to hold individual stocks, which has generally been OK, but hasn't "beat the market". However, since my objective was to do better than my checking account, I'm doing very well. Lesson/change #4: Instead of focusing on picking individual stocks, using broad index funds is easier and quite successful. Lesson #5: Understand and remember your objectives. At this point, VOO, VTI, and DIA account for about 30% of my brokerage portfolio. A few big winner individual stocks and a few more funds (including SGOV) round out my top 10 holdings. Going forward, I will almost certainly continue to focus on adding to my VOO, VTI, and SGOV positions. I have benefited from and enjoyed my dividends. However, some of my worst moves have been "dividend chasing". At one point, rather than benefitting from the modest monthly dividend from VOO or the declining % yield from CAT I chased dividends in a bond fund RA. I'm about 25% down on that, and while it continues to pay well above 5%, fees will eat into that. I'd have been ahead to purchase VOO, CAT, or KO. Buffet has benefitted from dividend stocks, but doesn't pay a dividend... Lesson/change #6: Don't chase the high dividends, benefit from strong stocks that pay a modest yield. Time in the market....
Screw it I’m selling stable positions to get on the rollercoaster! Bye bye MMM and MO you have severed me well. Hello 1800 wen!!!
Good stuff, btw as secure as S&P500 is it's never just always steadily rising up, one year it could be up 20%, one year it could be down 10% etc so don't panic sell, keep it in there for life and forget about it. Also read MMM'S blog, it'll change your perspective about money.
I don't know if MMM can do it (guy who retired in his early 30s), I can do it as well. I cook my own meals, buy used phones, car and genuinely most stuff used, have a high mpg car and try to live below my means, no expensive hobbies either (ig drones but I buy used) I just genuinely think people overspend/overconsume a lot of things and end up spending way more than they should, saving up 50 to 75% of one's income should be the goal.
MMM is currently +/- 132, so one way to play it is a short IC expiring 6/26, with the short wings OTM by about that much. Currently priced at about a 1:1 RR, but I'd wait to Wednesday afternoon, just before the close.

21M? Are you looking for MMF or MMM?
I should be more precise: MMM dipped $3 on 1 volume.
MMM dips $3 on like 8 volume. This is why I have trust issues.
I don’t know what the next five years will bring. Or the next ten years. But as far as my retirement savings go, I’m not going to go to cash and time the market. But I will be happy any time my contributions let me buy more shares of the same funds I’d normally buy I agree P/Es have gotten extreme even with the least exciting stocks. MMM trades at 21 times earnings. So does Microsoft. Deere trades at over 30 times earnings, so does Apple, Amazon and Nvidia It really seems that over the last few decades, Wall Street has agreed amongst themselves that these ratios should be considered normal and are doing what they can to sustain them. Because then alternative would mean a major dislocation.
If it ever turns into a MMM shaped economy, I’ll make some money!

A lot of comments wondering why SPY isn't crashing. For it to crash, we need GOOG, NVDA, and AAPL to crash. if they crash, it won't be just because, it will be because a narrative shift, because these stocks are viewed as safe havens from the economy/inflation to a certain degree. So when they crash, there will be FUD in the media and you won't want to own them. The next largest components of the indexes are already in correction/crash for the most part. I think your/my own sake, we need to look for individual stock opportunities in this market. You have to go against the media narratives though. Ex. buy consumer stocks in Oct-Nov when the media was fear mongering about more tariffs hitting one day (even though said companies had already given figures on how much tariffs would cost). Or utilities last summer when we feared a pause in rate hikes. Now I am seeing the fear mongering on credit card overdone and some consumer staples like MMM and HD down hard to points they usually bounce form. PE is crashing but it may crash more because sentiment is untied to reality. Either way, instead of waiting for 2008 to repeat, maybe buy some MMM or HD or PG or wait for banks to finish dropping and buy JPM. AMT is another good stock that never gets discussed here and it's down a little
I think now is a good time to buy CRM, MSFT, AMT, HD, BX, and PG. Maybe ES. BX may be a bit controversial, but the rest are good AND all dipped a bit so you're getting a bit of a sale, which is why I recommend them. MMM and CLX are in dips after recent rallies so might be good to I'm assuming you're saying you don't care about the next ten years but I am sure at some level, you'd be pissed if you lost $ tomorrow, hence I recommend things already down but with good earnings Actually making this list I realized credit card stocks are way down too, maybe AXP is a buy?
I bought some MMM, HD, and CRM on dips in the middle of the day. BUT sold it when it recovered. No way in hell am I holding stuff overnight at this point.
The pain has been rotating all year. This week it's in HD, MMM, PG type stocks + banks Many tech stocks that already crashed up are but they already crashed
I feel like such an idiot. I bought MMM on the "dip" holy shit, I think I am the last person who bought it. Fucking hell. So sick of the shit the past year, I'm about to just go all CDs.
🎶To rule the world, it takes vinegar strokes to rule the universe wooooorld! MMM…🎶
The shockingly simple math, as presented by MMM describes that it is simply a combination of burn rate and savings rate. Save more and reduce your burn rate to hit your target exit date. https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/01/13/the-shockingly-simple-math-behind-early-retirement/

MMM. Another lunch of reduced sodium Tomato Soup(Progresso) + an added pouch of chicken to it. $3. Better than 0.50 cup noodles.... for now.
As others have said, with only a 3 year time horizon do not invest in stocks. Just stick to a CD or a high yielding moment market fund. However, I don't know if you have an IRA for retirement or not but if you don't, this is a great opportunity to fund it and that I would put it in the stock market with VOO which is a S&P 500 index ETF. The S&P 500 invest in America's 500 largest blue chip companies like Walmart, Microsoft, Apple, Coke, Johnson & Johnson and MMM for a few examples.
Cultist tulip seller trying to get more imbeciles in on his MMM ponzi scheme. Sorry dunce, just let the fucking market work naturally.
thanks - i'm acutely watching the MMM's predictions for $GT lately i'm honestly hoping for $9.25-$9.50 before they expire and I'll be cashing out a decent chunk of change
The main reason GOOGL was discounted was due to DOJ case and potential for breakup of parts which would really hurt their advertising revenue. Any time a company faces a substantial risk from unknown outcome, their stock will sit lower as some funds are simply risk averse and will not take any chances they have no control over. Just look at MMM chart - they had potential litigation for hearing devices that could near bankrtupt the company. Once that case was settled and the outcome known, it traded back to where it was. So parts of the rally are no threat of breakup, growth of cloud computing division, and now some deals for TPU. But it wasn't all "growth".
Mmm-MMM this theta manipulation some serious gourmet shit.
I’d just go: 75% SPY, 15% BND, 10% cash. If you wanted to buy some individual companies to throw into the mix: PEP - soda and snacks giant CAT or DE - farm and heavy equipment MSFT - O/S software GOOG - search engine, Ai, maps, email, YouTube, it basically has it all. META - social media, Ai AMZN - consumer goods, web servers, Ring MMM - all kinds of materials, industrial and consumer, spun off its ear plug division which has serious legal issues BK - large integrated global bank, too big to fail PM - global tobacco manufacturer DIS - entertainment, legacy media
check out OPEN's chart, I've never seen so many MMM shapes in a row
Trades 230 MMM shares a day. How the fck we suddenly going to turn this 10x to $20 let alone $200. Sorry, Charlie, learn call stop orders and don’t let this mess happen again :/
There will be a correction with all the tech stocks at some point but I think we have another 3-5 years of the run where each company is up a few percent every week. And then when it does correct I think it will correct to a level that is higher than today’s numbers. Anytime I see correction it’s weekly. Every day like today is usually owed up by a day of people taking gains and putting money into my 2-3% div yield stocks. When NVDA is up 3%. The next day it’s down 2% and my MMM, MO, PG are up a similar amount. It’s like clockwork. This week I think will be more gains as earnings are posting plus interest rates will likely get lowered but honestly that shit is all baked in at this point, half point here and there. Only way that would change if it’s some wild full point or 2 swing (that isn’t going to happen). The folks that take money out aren’t going to go into cash in their mattress. They are just going to buy dividend paying energy and consumer staples. So the overall market should stay strong. I think the western economies will stay strong until all the boomer money runs out which is some point several decades down the road after the millennials and gen Zrs deplete that giant inherited 50 trillion dollar nest egg through taxes and debt repayment. The concerning thing to me is unemployment. All these companies posting amazing quarters are laying off thousands of employees. That doesn’t bode well for the economy in my opinion and AI is still a novelty. However I do think there is a lot of get off my lawn stuff that we last heard when computers started to become a thing. This tech is revolutionary and is only going to continue to improve.
**I think 60-100 stocks is too many to mangage. especially around quarterly earnings reporting.** I have about 20 stocks holdings in a portfolio that always beats the returns of the S&P 500 index. Try to pick the best stocks in each sector to make your stocks more managable. When I find a new stock I like, then I liquidate the stock that hasn't been performaing the best in my holdings. I usually make my moves during quarterly earnings reporting. ISRG, BSX, APH, RTX, COF, MMM, VRT and GE had good earnings reports recently. I still manage to have a watchlist of 60 stocks, but I manage then in groups of similar sectors or categories for comparison, categories of Banks, IT Software, semi-conductors, utilities, Healthcare, retail, etc...Then I can easily separate the best of the sector.
Couldn’t agree more.. Latest examples where MMM, MC, KER … at the moment I would bet on Healthcare and Consumer Staples.
MMM day You got to be kidding me….
Good Question. I went looking... Vanguard. JP Morgan. Chase. Barclays. Goldman. etc. These are the buyers. The rules of the ETF's mean that every $100 you DCA into VOO, someone somewhere is buying approx. $7.75 of NVDA, $6.87 MSFT $6.32 AAPL........>....$1.71 TSLA....>.... 15c DASH, 15c MMM .....>....1c NWS. They need to buy those from the open market. Pushing up the price. Interesting data here: [look at VOO Fund flows recently](https://etfdb.com/etf/VOO/#fund-flows). Some big number are getting out of VOO recently.
I invested in CLS a couple of years ago in my small portfolio and it has blown up since then. I'm now sitting at about 55% of my portfolio in just CLS, with some of the remaining being in MMM, RKLB, LQDA and HPE all doubling their return or more. I'd like to make some moves and add some other stocks to my portfolio by selling off about half of my CLS shares and getting around $4,000 from that. What would be some good, safe stocks that I could add with that return? Or should I just get more shares of what I currently have?
I would not trade your HYSA for a money market mutual account. The extra return you get right now from the MMM maybe 0.5%? Where as plenty of FDIC insured HYSA right. Have rates of 3.75% etc. Look up the 2008 money market mutual account losses. SEC insured is not a orit from from investment losses.
I cycled out of a few positions in one of my ETFs back in June and late July, I had stopped buying this one a while because the management fee were higher then my other funds and it wasn't out performing them. I had a couple lots that were lagging anyway so the gains tax will be minimal, I also had very little cash because I went all in late last year early this year as it was falling, so the sales freed some up. Anyway the result was I have some cash but it's less then 7% of the total portfolio, it's in a MMM earning like 4.7, if the market does go down I'll liquidate it, buy more and go all in again, having said that I definitely missed some of the recent gains. Point is if you want to do some tax loss harvesting or sell some laggards to move to better index funds or free up some cash, that's one thing, pulling large %s of the portfolio out is a mistake.
I think one of the biggest issues is that it's hard to trust the data come out of the Chinese government and Chinese businesses. Nothing is audited to the level of Western companies. Also, unless you're buying on Chinese exchanges, what you're getting with BABA and BIDU doesn't even give you rights to company equity or stock. It's not the same as if you buy MMM or AMZN. I'm not saying that things will turn out poorly, and I do own a small amount of BIDU and BABA myself, but look into it so you know what you're getting into.
Here, you start speaking like the founder of MMM, the Russian ponzi scheme that has unraveled in the early 90s. Still the largest ponzi scheme in the history. His theory was that human greed, a natural and innate feeling, will keep the scheme alive. He argued that the higher the promised return, the higher the greed and the longer people will keep the money, thus keeping the MMM going in perpetuity. You know how it ends right? You make different angles, but the way you describe this virtual asset that is barely recognizable as a currency, is just a justification for the bags you are holding probably. Anyways. Good luck and hope all goes well for you.
I didn’t buy heavy but dabbled in 2008. Lulu I got in the $40s PHM at $8. There were others but I sold Lulu at $90 thinking it’s athletic wear and it went to $500 and PHM is at $110. You can never time the market so now I’ve learned take profit and be happy but try not to buy at the top. I look forward to solid companies having a bad earnings report so I can snatch up cheaper shares. I got MMM at $80 when it dropped and then sold around $130.
Unless you are VERY knowledgeable in these industries, contrarian investing like this is usually a coin flip. UNH and NOVO are two recent examples, but over the past few years there’s been dozens of them. BABA, NKE, PYPL, MMM, CRWD, CVNA, etc, etc, etc. All of them went through rough patches similar to UNH and NOVO. Some have recovered and some haven’t. It’s VERY complicated trying to figure out which are short term issues and which are long-term problems. Only advice I have is to make sure your entire portfolio isn’t full of stocks like this. Diversify with some growth companies or blue chips or something.
