My Top Performing Stock Motifs: Some Up Over 100%

by Fred Fuld III

Motifs are like Exchange Traded Funds, except they can be created by anyone. Investors gets to choose which stocks they want to put in the portfolio, or better yet, they can invest in the Motifs created by others for a low commission. I created several motifs that are available for anyone to invest in, a few of which are up over 100% since inception.

Here are some of the motifs I created and the returns since inception (created less than two years ago):

Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Cryptocurrency Stocks +15.3%

Anti-Crime Stocks +38.8%

Liquid Biopsy Stocks +90.6% (created just a little over a year ago)

Stem Cell Stocks +100.5% (up 48.3% just in the last 12 months)

Firearms Stocks +26.6%

Gisele Bundchen Stocks +22.6%

Water Desalination +13.6%

Drone Stocks +53.9%

Cuba Stocks +26.1%

Puerto Rico Stocks +49.4% (one-year return in spite of the hurricane)

Marijuana Cannabis Stocks +82.5%

Horse Race Stocks +188.7% (top performing)

Cosmetic Surgery Stocks +141.0% (second best performing, up 56.1% just in the last 12months)

Beer Stocks +26.5%

Wine and Liquor Stocks +22.4%

Virtual Reality Stocks Over $5  +79.8%

Virtual & Augmented Reality Stocks +74.0%%

So if you are looking for a targeted way of investing, Motifs may be the way to go.

The Latest Hot Industries According to Stock Filings

If you have ever wondered what the interest is of companies in the hottest industries, such as drones or robots, there is a way to find this information out.The Securities and Exchange Commission maintains a database of all the forms filed by publicly traded companies for the past several years.

Here are the results for the number of forms that were filed with the SEC during the last four years that mentioned any of the following terms connected to recent popular industries.

bitcoin 1588
drones 2334
robots 8000+
robotics 8000+
artificial intelligence 1977
CRISPR 791
marijuana 5800
cannabis 8000+
3D printing 1820
virtual reality 1154
augmented reality 1216

By the way, 8000+ means over 8,000. So it could be 9,000 or 90,000.

Stock Motifs That Are Up Over 20%

If you have never checked out a stock motif, maybe it’s time you did. A motif is similar to an exchange traded fund or ETF that is created by an individual investor. The motif may contain five stocks or fifty stocks or any number of stocks, and are usually concentrated around a particular industry  or investment idea.

These motifs can be bought and sold, just like any other ETF, with a commission of only $9.95. Several of these motifs have significantly outperformed the S&P 500.

For example, I created a motif called Horse Race Stocks. This is a motif that contains stocks involved in the hope racing arena. It is interesting to note that this motif is up over 50% since its inception, which was less than a year ago. I created the motif on July 21, 2016 and as of today, the motif has increased by 52.5%. Not a bad return for less than ten months.

Horse Race Stocks

My Cuba Stocks motif which holds stocks of companies that should benefit from the opening of relations with Cuba is up 24.2% since the end of July last year.

Cuba Stocks

The Marijuana Cannabis Stocks motif is my most popular. The stocks in the portfolio are self-explanatory, and with legalization of medical marijuana and recreational marijuana, what motif has spiked by 25% in less than a year.

Marijuana Stocks

Even a couple other motifs that haven’t performed as well, still have double digit returns, such as Drone Stocks, with a boost of 14%, and Virtual & Augmented Reality Stocks, up 17.9%.

All of the stocks in all of the above motifs sell for at least $5 a share. Also, if dividends are paid by any of the stocks, your account is credited with the payments.
