50 shares from the QV portfolio, in great 3G businesses, so really good ones, to buy now

The chart of Alphabet above shows what is happening with so many exciting stocks in the market, which are reporting great growth and great prospects as the global technology revolution roars ahead stronger than ever.

Just to give you the flavour of the great results being achieved by Quentinvest I have updated the performance for Great Stocks for Quentinvest (formerly known as Quantum Leap). Nearly every year since 2009 shows gains well into three figures. The latest full year, 2020, is not quite there yet but has beaten the Nasdaq 100, the world’s best performing index in 2020, by nearly three times! Even I am a little stunned by that performance but these are great times for investors.

Below I pick 50 shares from the QV for Shares portfolio that I believe are timely to buy right now. This is mainly based on price action. It is not so much breakouts as strong performance that I am looking for. I pick shares that feel right in the moment. All the shares I pick and many more that don’t get picked this time but will on another occasion, are 3G, which means that they are in a short list of the world’s most exciting, fastest-growing, highest quality, best led businesses.

This means you can buy them for the first time or add to holdings you may already have with great confidence that over the long term they will deliver. Short term as always is a roll of the dice although when the long term outlook is this good most short terms will be good also.

The main reason why I periodically come up with these lists of shares to buy is because if I wait to write about them individually it will take so long it just won’t happen and many great buying opportunities will be missed.

I already know they are great stocks from previous research. What I am looking for here to signal a buy is great price action.

If you are already fully invested you could consider careful use of an IG CFD account. Put a small amount of money into a CFD account, say five per cent of your portfolio value and use that with leverage to make modest sized add-on purchases; that way you can use the table to buy stocks without taking uncomfortable levels of risk.

Over time as profit builds you can take a little more risk knowing it is profit that you are risking. This is very much how I operate. I try not to put into a CFD or other leveraged account money it would hurt to lose and aim to reach a position where it is mostly profits I am risking.
