Investor's Journal is a diary focused strictly on investments and personal finance issues, primarily from a contrarian and retiree point of view. Follow along with an average guy's failures and successes as he learns, by trial and error, the fine art of value investing.


6/26/25- Our total liquid assets, now at $2,249,654, are up just $4008 or 0.18% since the May entry. My wife's and my nest egg of all asset categories is at $2,811,017, down $7570 or 0.27% from its level on 12/31/24.

I shall remain in a cautious mode with our investing and portfolio management, notwithstanding the low returns this often entails. Dividend assets continue to be a large part of our holdings. One for which I purchased shares recently was Magna International, Inc. (MGA). It has low price to sales, a P/E of about 9, a PEG below 1, a price to debt also below 1, a price to free cash flow of 7.35, and a dividend above 5% with a dividend payout ratio of .48.

Disclaimer and Disclosure Statement
Much as I'd love it to be otherwise, I receive no payment of any kind for disseminating investment information unless, by some fluke, millions of folks, on the strength of these entries, start buying shares of stock I own, a possibility only slightly less likely than our being destroyed by a large meteorite. Do not follow any suggestions made in Investor's Journal as if I were a professional.

Neither I nor Investor's Journal will be responsible for losses by anyone who obtained ideas from this site.

This diary is intended for personal interest and general information only. You are advised to do your own research (as well as to consult highly compensated professionals) before spending money on anything.

I know of no reason anyone should take my financial musings seriously. At best I am a dedicated amateur providing a bit of investment-related insight and entertainment, at worst an amusing diversion.

My wife, Fran, and I may at times own shares of some of the assets mentioned here. But neither of us receive any benefit from reference to them, unless you count the mutual misery when we get it wrong, or the opportunity to gloat when we get it right.
