The Stock Motifs that are Up Over 20%

If you are not familiar with motifs, they are similar to Exchange Traded Funds, except they are created by investors. You get to pick and choose which stocks you want to put in the portfolio. You can invest in the motif and others can invest in your motifs also. I created several motifs that are available for anyone to invest in, many of which are up over 20%.

Here are some of the motifs I created last year and the returns to date:

Liquid Biopsy Stocks +13.1%

Gisele Bundchen Stocks +15%

Drone Stocks +37%

Cuba Stocks +31.5%

Marijuana Cannabis Stocks +21%

Horse Race Stocks +129.7%

Beer Stocks +12.9%

Wine and Liquor Stocks +20.5%

Virtual Reality Stocks Over $5  +48.7%

Virtual & Augmented Reality Stocks +38.4%

By the way, if you are looking for a bitcoin motif, I just created one a couple days ago and it is already up 1.1%.

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.

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.

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.

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 and 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.

Why My Greece Stock Motif Was Up 565% Since August

If you are not aware of what a motif is, I will explain it to you. A motif is like a mini-ETF where an individual can create whatever  they want in a portfolio and trade it just like a regular ETF. Usually the portfolio revolves around a specific industry or topic.

I have created several of these motifs including Drone Stocks (up 3.9% since the beginning of August), Cuba Stocks (+6.9%), Marijuana Cannabis Stocks (+24%), and Virtual Reality Stocks (+10.9%).

However, the biggest winner of all was the Greek Stock Motif, with the full name of Greece Stocks Under $5 a Share. The motif was created on July 31 of this year, and as of Wednesday, November 16, the motif was up over 565%. Unfortunately, today the motif dropped 77%, causing a return since of creation of only 52.6%. What has caused this huge rise?

First, DryShips (DRYS) rose from 21.60 a share to 73 a share on November 15. It has since tanked. Second, Globus Maritime (GLBS) went from 56 cents a share to 5.93 a share today, a 959% increase in price.Almost all the other companies were shipping stocks, which have had enormous returns over the last six months. TOP Ships (TOPS) was up 107% in just the last month.
