I'm about to clean up and make a little money that I am going to put into some more nigerian funds on my sharebuilder account. I can make more faster with forex but I'm too busy with work/school/interviews to check even daily sometimes so I need something more hands off - thus stock.
I just can't stand to have my money sit in a bank, and am an alcoholic/gambler by nature.
Can't invest in more liquid but risky cash based operations since I have too much to lose nowadays so I want to hustle the American dream piece by piece.
I will buy anything that rHMT think can convince me of being a good deal, and depending on how much of a lazy ass I am I will keep you nig nogs update.

i didn't. i bought 1500 shares when it was at 1.80, sold 500 @10.50. holding on to the rest. in fact i'll probably buy a bunch more. with ken block's popularity explosion, leaving subaru and driving the fiesta and focus is going to do nothing but bolster ford's once failing small car image... and with toyota shitting the bed at every turn, consumers are going to look to other brands, and chevy and dodge don't have jack shit for economy cars, save the cobalt ss which is too ricey/tunerish for the mainstream. i don't think people realize that ford is a player on an global scale.

you'd be better off buying scratch tickets

It's worse having $25,000 in liquid cash sitting in a bank account and not investing when the crisis hit because you were too busy making dick at a job that required 60-80 hours a week.
So yeah, fuck everyone. I really hate money and think I should spend it faster than I make it.

i like penny stocks because they are volatile, and cheap enough that I can buy large quantities for little monies. LGTT has made me some money in the past couple weeks with some good press, and I think its going to go up some more in the near future when it shows some revenue from its new iphone/droid apps or develops some new ones. ACTC made me a little money back in the fall, and I think its pretty undervalued right now and they are waiting to get approval for a new stem cell disease treatment. If that comes through, (and if I had more money invested in it) I'll be buying rHMT drinks.
Actually I just reinvest any profits I pull. But one day goddamnit, I'll be rich.

I'll let you know what I buy next. I just had a bunch in natural gas but I had it stoplossed at $10. It got tripped so I am out. Made some chedda and its just sitting in daily high interest account for now.
Maybe for a fee I'll give you my next buy

I've been wanting to dabble in stock for a while and should have when the shit really hit the fan and prices were dirt cheap. What tips do you guys have for beginners? Best sites to use to buy? Also what's some decent cheap stock you guys see going up again here in the next bit?
On a side note flipping through channels the other day I seen that Friend Finder (owner of Adult Friend Finder) went public with it's stocks the other day. I was wondering if that would be a good investment as their spam is every damn where.

Duke Energy.....5.5-6% dividend.
Cashed $20k of Prefered stock out, bought $10k of Ford and $10k 5/3 bank
Bought Ford at $1.60, sold at $11.00, net gain $58k
Bought 5/3 at $1.20, sold at $10.00, net gain $73k
Put the $150k back into Duke.....earning 5.8% dividend.
The $20k risked is earn $9k a year in dividend not to mention it bought 9k shares of Duke stock to go with the other 16k+ shares.

not bad bone, but would you like to share the tax consequences of all that? :-X
god I hate fucking taxes. I suppose that LTCG > other income but still. can't really start playing too hard with structuring these transactions for maximum tax avoidance until you have some decent lumps to move. I fucking wish I never started paying taxes. every goddamn dollar i made playing markets got raped 6 ways by fees, taxes, etc etc where it was not worth my time/frustration even when i was killing it. this is why I am just doing medium/longer term investments with my money for a while and not doing the day trading thing. at least i may not have to rec. gains until I get a solid job if that doesnt happen right away this year.
-
it was mom's money..her financial advisor is handling the taxes...but I now have somewhat of a retirement, will never need to work full time again. I will be as frugal as ever, it won't change me.
Might use the gains to buy another house and rehab it...or maybe a small duplex and rent out the other side.

My wife and I have been making money with mutual funds. We are in CGM Focus fund. We hopped in last fall when it was down and been riding it out. My father in law made some decent money through this about a year ago.

i certainly would dump it if i owned any. the second round of recalls (prius/other hybrid crap) is going to murder their product image/reputation. it's lost 20-25% in a month, i see it dropping under 60$ a share before the month is up.

Honda just expanded its recalls for air bag issues in '01 to '03 Accords/CRV/Odessys/Civics.
On top of the recalls issues for same thing in Acura TL last fall. ;D
I've been looking at under valued stocks that use to be high $30 range but went to $3 because the market panic in '08-'09.
For instance CDE was done around $4 and has rebounded up to about $13.
I missed the CSK (CAO), by two weeks (Could not get my tax return fast enough :?:), when it was in the $3.50 range in Feb. '07.
Then the news came that CSK was looking for a buyer and was in talks with Autozone, O'reily's and some investment groups.
In early March the stock went to $13.00, I was pissed that did not get my money in fast enough. :?:

Well with the way the government is pushing for green vehicles, I'd be afraid to buy ford knowing all their shit burns gas. Uh...... See what I mean? It's not like we're gonna fold up our military and let the french protect us. Anyway, I see your reason, I just don't think it's solid. But I know Northrop Grumman better than the average Joe as one of their shipbuilding facilities is located behind my backyard.

With how Obongo is anti-war and immediately pulled out of the middle east like he said he was going to, recinded the Patriot Act, etc, NG has already at an all time low and this is a great time to buy their stock for the next time we have a militaristic Republican President.

But seriously, help guys like Doug and me out and atleast hook us up with where you trade and what you do with all of the tax nonsense.
I'm going to go put some monies in a Vanguard mutual fund today I think for a longish term investment.

I'm sure their stocks will continue to climb but not anything major... The lucky buyers that picked up the stock when it was first available made quite a bit of money, but I'm sure it's all calmed down by now. They did just post the largest gain on smartphone OS use, but still a bit behind. May be pulling out of China, which I'm sure would be a huge loss in ad revenue... Long term it seems like it'd be good but I don't know about a quick turn around.
I wouldn't mind throwing some money into something but I hate the though of losing it... I'd have to do a ton of research before I felt comfortable fucking with it.

If Toyota stock takes a dumb I might throw a little at it to play with. Where do you guys use to trade at? I know I always see the ads for Scott Trade for $7, which seems the cheapest I have heard of, but what's the minimums/fees/taxes etc etc. I wouldn't mind finding somewhere decent and cheap just to throw a couple $100 on some stocks to play and learn.
-
What do you guys think of ING/sharebuilder? Looks like it's about $2 a trade more than Scottrade, but if you open a new account and put at least $50 in they will give you a free $50 (In a few weeks and can't take it out for 90 days, but hey it's free). Figured it's not to bad of a deal for someone who just wants to throw a few hundred in to play with.

Great concept that may be 20 years to early.

Scottrade has the lowest minimum investment at $500, which is why I have it. I don't think they have the best trade deals. I think etrade has something where the first xx trades are free or something. But the $7 thing isn't really $7, they still take a commission of sorts in addition to that when you sell. But I don't really know, I'm a stocknewb

Zecco has $4.50 per trade and $0 minimum & inactivity.

zecco is cheapest but i would use scottrade again over it
-
also read fine print a lot of these sweet scam artists charge a lot more when you sell stock than when you buy it... so dont be thinking you can sell stock every time you make 20$ and buy a 24 pack with the profits
-

Why is that? I thought about going with ING just because of the free $50. Scottrade has the $500 minimum, but I wasn't looking at throwing that much in to begin with to play with.
also read fine print a lot of these sweet scam artists charge a lot more when you sell stock than when you buy it... so dont be thinking you can sell stock every time you make 20$ and buy a 24 pack with the profits
Which ones in particular? When I was browsing on Zecco the little chat window popped up and I was asking the woman a bunch of questions and she said it's $4.50 with them to buy or sell per trade on stock and there is not commission or % fee taken out of sales.
-
People seem to like ING Sharebuilder for "long term" investments but not for day trading. It seems to be $4 to buy and $10 to sell. No minimums and you can buy fractions of shares.
Others seem to like Zecco or Tradeking.

Hmm their site says it's $4 for the auto investment, but $9.99 to buy or sell the real time trade. So unless you wanted money taken out of your account every week, bi week, or monthly basis would you not have to use the real time option?
-
1x per week, every tuesday, you can buy however many $ of stock you want. can be one time can be repeating. every different sort of stock purchase requires different strategy - i like sharebuilder because I dump my extra cash into ing anyway, and I like/trust them. For odd $ investments a couple times a month it works great for me right now.

JD, I like your idea, but the market in local college town got turned upside down (Oxford, Ohio) when one investor got too upside down. I would be very strick about who I would rent out too.
A) No blue faggot dashes
B) No Denice the menace.....but flexible on this one.
I've seen a duplex with two, two car garages...I would open it into one big area to work on.

i use sharebuilder, free plan $10 to buy or sell. no minimums, they dont like daytrading so nothing under 90 days otherwise its like $30 penalty i believe. free real time prices. pretty solid for what i am doing. ge, c, couple stock funds. not doing a lot but trying to invest at least $100 a month.

onlyflash is right to a degree. If you bought it when it was $2.50, now you have seen a HUGE gain. If you buy now at $11, you'd need the stock to go up to around $50 to see the same gains. So yes, you are a couple months late for the GREAT investment, but now seems to still be a good investment .

if you think ford is going to cap @ 11, you're a fool. even if it hits 22, that's a 100% ROI, which is fantastic. most people get ecstatic about a 10% ROI.

I agree with everything you just typed.
I'm pretty sure onlyflash is saying that if you compare Ford now to 8 months ago, it isn't as good of an investment. in 8 months Ford has gone up roughly 1000%. In the next 8 months, should we expect the stock to go up to $1000? Doubtful. $20, possible. $15, probable.
This is really a stupid arguement. Ford is still a cheap stock and a good investment. Just because you aren't going to make a 1000% return doesn't mean otherwise.

i never said ford was going to cap out at 11. i plan on keeping my ford stock for a bit longer. others have hit on what i'm thinking, it's not quite as good of an investment for say the next 3 months as other possibilities.

ford is down right now but its still above 11

Oh yeah and any of you nogs think Toyota stock may take a dive soon?
i certainly would dump it if i owned any. the second round of recalls (prius/other hybrid crap) is going to murder their product image/reputation. it's lost 20-25% in a month, i see it dropping under 60$ a share before the month is up.
Depending on how well they fix this, I'd assume this would be the next penny stock to look at...
-
Well I just read all this and checked out ING/sharebuilder. Basically I can open an account, no min. balance, and realtime trades are 9.95 buy or sell. I think I'm gonna open an account tomorrow and put about 300 in it and buy some ford stock. Not much, but it will be a start. I've been thinking for a few months about opening an account this summer, but I didn't know there were places that let you open .with no min. balance. 300 is all I could swing right now, but that's a start..

Well I'm saying I could buy the Ford as in tomorrow, but not sure if I want to wait and see if Toyota takes a dive and just invest in them. I guess I could use half the money and buy Ford and then wait on Toyota and if not buy the rest of Ford. On the other hand that's two trade fee's and I'm a penny pincher.

Like I mentioned earlier JD, exchange play is fast money but requires constant monitoring and is a day to day sort of deal. I'd consider 1 week a longterm plan for currency.

So is the Forex more risky or just requires more attention?

both really - you can trade using "robots" which are basically rule based scripts for systems like mt4 or you can spend a while sitting live in front of a computer and manually buy/sell depending on how much time you want to invest and how much you think you know

Should be a good buy, they are moving away from contractors, and doing more in house, should result in some better profits. I know this because I just signed them to a big supply contract.

I just put $1000 in a Sharebuilder account. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it....
I'm thinking putting $750 on Ford for a "long term" investment and $250 on something more risky. I'd like to find a good penny stock. I could stand to lose $250 if there was a reasonable chance of seeing a 2x gain.
What does everyone think of GE? It seems priced low and could easily go up quite a bit over time. Thoughts?

I can't really comment on the fast money day trade stuff, or penny stocks since that's not what I do. But I have been investing in long positions with a time horizon of 2-3 years, although most of the situations I invested in worked out in 3-6 months. Since Aug of last year I turned 3k into 7.5k for my self, and 5k into 10k for my brother after trading costs. I haven't paid taxes yet so I don't know how much that's going to cost. Mainly what I did was to look for companies that are out of favor for what ever reason, most recently and I would say currently it's oil/refining companies although it's begun to turn around, before that I did credit card companies(AmEx), before that I did REIT's, and many in between. I look at a top down approach for the sectors I think are unloved, and then do bottom up research company by company to find the company in that sector that has the best value( based on balance sheet analysis)/resources/business model etc. etc. and then I invest heavily when I find it, usually 35-40% of my capital. I'm a firm believer in concentration vs diversification.Also sometimes I just screen for undervalued companies regardless of sector, Ive found opportunities in pharm,power companies,pipeline MLP's to name a few. The reason this works is because many people want to make a quick buck and wind up trading based on fear and greed, irrational exuberance and pessimism , which leads to (sometimes) gross mispricings in the market. What I do isn't easy, because of the analysis/front end work, but if done correctly it's almost a sure thing, because you wind up buying businesses for less then they are worth, the trick is how long that worth is going to take to be reflected in the share price, which is mostly unpredictable. If you guys are interested read Intelligent Investor by Ben Graham, and Margin of Safety(out of print) by Seth Klarman, there are many other good ones, but those do the best job of clearly stating the strategy, in my opinion.

A little "upscale" forum that I have been watching/reading is
http://www.valueforum.com/ (http://www.valueforum.com/)
NOC was at 58.50ish on 2/9/10. They're at 61.60 right now. Up 5% in 10 days.

The problem I have with these expensive ass stocks is that I can't buy enough of them to make any real profit off of a 5 or 10% gain. Even 20 really. I have about $1k in 5 different stocks-- almost all penny stocks. I had some in citibank but it just tanked over the last few months and I'm too impatient to hold on to it, might rebuy again while its lower. ANYWAY, my point is that I would have to have my entire investment of $1k in one stock to see a good gain from a 10% increase, and I don't like the idea of having everything in only one stock. I guess I'm just not ballurr enough

I see Apple splitting it's stock very shortly. Is it better to buy now or after the split? Apple is roughly $200. I figure if they split it, it will be something like a 5:1 or a 10:1. If it's a 10:1, it will be great, because it will probably jump to $30 in a year or two. 5:1 probably won't see as much growth IMO.
So, buy now before the split or wait until the split?
-
I can never trust apple.... and I would jump on RIGHT after the split.
-
I see Apple splitting for several reasons. Primarily this is the most expensive their stock has ever been. Last time it hit this price, it dropped to about $125. Climbed back up to under $200 and then dropped to under $100 and now has steadily climbed back to $200. I think their stock price makes it too volatile. If they did a 4:1, 5:1, or even a 10:1 they'd get a lot of new investors immediately who now see Apple as affordable. With more people owning the stock, it being featured in more mutual fund packages, ect ect ect, it will make the stock much more stable and will also result in the stock increasing a good amount.
At least that's how I see things happening. With that said, based on it's volitility, I'll wait until the split happens. I don't want to buy it today at $200 and then have it fall to $150 on me.
With that said, where does anyone see a power house like Google going? I knew once Google went public it would be huge. Their stock is stupid expensive. Even if it splits 2:1, I'd be tempted to buy in on them. There is no way I'm buying it at it's current price though. It doesn't seem profitable at all.
-
googles ongoing international expansion is going to help a lot, but I dont believe that their stock is worth anywhere near as much as it goes for right now... they will split at 500 im sure. the company cant ever shit the bed they are too diversified, and there is a huge market that I see them tapping - ready to roll google netbook dealios (thinking ipad style). They are bound for hardware, and a next gen OS - thought I am sure they will be hit with beacoup anti trust suits within the next 5 years.
if you would invest in microsoft, you would invest in google imo.

now there are rumors about DCP not being able to handle their recently awarded 230 mill contract - I do not feel it impacted the stock price enough for it to matter, and in fact it may be a BETTER buy after the contract falls through if thats true - any thoughts on whether I should dump it after it clears over fees and either move on or buy more on the other end of the bad news, or just hold it and see where it goes?
-
Ain't sayin' nuffin.

they have 130+ mill in unrestricted cash and the contract is for 230 mill... its def something thats a heavier up swing than downsing

This thread wins. What do you all think about Sirius(SIRI)
Satellite radio has never turned a profit. Has something changed this?
Sirius is claiming to have turned a profit this last quarter, and they are also "expecting" to report a net profit for 2009.
I also read an article in this morning's paper about how worth is calculated in a business that is in Sirius' position, and it has lead to Sirius' stock values being inflated. Indications are that Sirius is worth a quarter per share instead of it's current ~$1 value.
If they are finally able to turn a profit - in a soft economy, no less - they might be well worth investing in as their backers won't cut them loose in the immediate future. The problem is when to hop on if the current value is artificially high? I'm a stock dumbfuck, someone steer me right on this.
-
I wouldn't mess with Sirius. I'm also a stock dumbfuck, but it just seems like a shoddy investment. Typically when technology like this is so slow to catch on and they overpay hosts, something will move in on them in a short time. I expect something like Pandora for the car will be the future.

i see pandora for the car happening sometime too. i can already just hook up my phone to the radio and listen to it as ogn as a i want( car charger) i dont see why they wont just expand on it.

well jd if you feel sirius is worth .25$ why dont you go short on 10,000 shares at 1$ and make a nice profit when it hits?
-
well jd if you feel sirius is worth .25$ why dont you go short on 10,000 shares at 1$ and make a nice profit when it hits?
I'm stupid, so someone is going to have to explain this concept. If you think something is worth $.25, but it's a $1.00, why would you buy it at $1.00?
Also, anyone have any thoughts on Motorola (NYSE:MOT)? Just seems about $5 under it's potential value in the next 12-18 months.
-
i have to explain the concept of shorting to a million people a week
you go to goldman sachs and you say I want you to sell 1000 shares of sirius for me on account... i will give them back to you later. so they sell 1000 shares for you and give you a 1000$ credit in your account but you owe them 1000 shares.
now you have a credit of 1000$, you buy sirius for .25$ the next day when the market realizes jd has outfoxed them and you buy 1000 shares for 250$ and give the shares back to goldman sachs. they got their shares + commission back, you have a 750$ credit in your account, and your mother is in the hospital playing with dildos.
-
Understood. Thank you for the explanation.

Really? $20 buy-ins for a poker game? When we played with KBR guys, mininum buy in was $250/game. You guys have the money to throw around, us lesser paid convey jockies are more than happy to take it from you. It was nothing for some of the KBR guys to lose $1000 in a single cash game and be back the next day to drop another grand. Fuckin' easy money.

Mostly a hunch, but my other thoughts were:
1) New stock. Lots of fluctuation. I'm hoping I catch it on the upswing.
2) Entertainment industry is doing fairly well right now.
3) What the business was offering seemed interesting and relevant.
4) 3D bullshit is somewhat the future and they seem to be involved in bringing it to NYC.
5) Technicolor Announces Strategic Partnership With Warner Bros
Tuesday, 2 Feb 2010 01:44am EST
Technicolor announced that it has entered into a long term contract with Warner Bros on duplication and distribution services of DVD and Blu-ray discs. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.
I decided to take a gamble on a stock. If it goes up, I'm probably going to dump it ASAP.

3D is hot technology. It's landed in multiple local theaters in the last year, and withing a decade it will be in the home. It's also the gateway to commonplace VR gear.
If the company looks well structured and has money starting to flow it's way: invest.

Good day for me. Ford up 3.33% rocketing up to $13.34. It's taken a while, but I turned a profit with GE going up 3.4% today up to $17.04. Technicolor finally also turned a profit for me today shooting up 4.83% to $1.53.
I bought Technicolor at $1.47 predicting an up next morning and paid extra to buy it at that rate. The next morning it dropped to $1.40. Not a huge deal, but I'd be up a decent bit instead of just a few pennies. Timing and dumb luck sometimes are the biggest variables.
Oh well, I'm up 9.83% including fees which isn't really accurate because ING will deposit $50 in my account in a week or two which will offset my 3 trades. I still have high hopes for all of my stocks and don't plan on letting any of them go in the near future.
My next two buys will probably be Nokia and Motorola. I expect both to be profitable over the next 5 years, especially Motorola which is only $7. The only thing that scares me about both stocks is the stock's value going down consistently before the economy went to complete shit. Either way, I could see myself putting a $200 in either stock. I'm not ready to put a lot of money in the market yet but I feel this market is pretty forgiving because it's in a recovery state. Buying well known companies that are fairly healthy seems like a sure fire way to make a good long time investment.

couldn't agree more, esp if you have some extra cash lying around. hell i'd even close out cd's and savings accounts because they aren't getting shit. i mean ford just jumped 3x in one week what the best interest rates are around here.
i've thought about buying sprint as well, but haven't pulled teh trigger yet

I thought i had something hot with Cell Therapeutics (CTIC) , but now it seems that they are under investigation for some shadyness so I sold it. Bought it at .67, sold it at .97 about a week later. I'm still holding on to some options for them though since they are up for some FDA approval later this month.
Just bought some Ford options and I had bought some Quantum Fuel Systems (QTWW) stock that dropped a bit...so far all these trade fees are killing me but I think I'm doing alright.

Sounds like a typical jd answer of "I do it every day but don't know how or care to so ill pretend its common knowledge. Also, ask someone else and ill still act like I schooled you"
-
from what ive learned in the past few days:
call option: gives the holder of the option the "option" to buy the stock at the strike price on or before a given date
put option: gives the holder the option to sell the stock at a given price
so if you think a stock might go up to/beyond the "strike price" before the given date, you buy the call option. If you think it will drop, you buy the put option. This is all without actually buying the stock. If you decide you want to buy the stock/execute the option then you end up with the stock at the strike price you picked. Basically if the stock does what you think it will....you win. Otherwise you're fucked. At least thats how ive come to understand it in my limited research, anyone feel free to correct me.

Quit the faggotry. Posts about making money should be without bullshit.
I just want to add, anyone following my advice is a fucking idiot in this thread. I know nothing about doing proper research in a company to invest wisely. My whole investment strategy is to pick a company I don't think sucks. Look at their current stock price. Look at in the past. Think about their theoretical future in the most basic way. If I think the stock is cheap, and I don't see the brand going away, I see it as a "safe" investment. This is a very simple way to invest, and probably will result in me having marginal gains/losses. I just wanted to state that before anyone thinks they should follow what I say/said.
Lastly, the day Apple confirms a split, I throwing mad dollars at 'em.

Yuri won some money at a casino.
Anyone that bought Ford when this thread started, and it's a decent percentage of their portfolio, will be up. Ford is up 15.26% from when I bought it. It's up 42% in the last 3 months, 86% in 6 months, and 511% in 1 year. FML for not buying earlier.
Why didn't I buy Nokia last month when I was looking at it? It up nearly 15% in 1 month. FML
The only thing I could suggest to anyone is get involved now vs later. Market is still in recovery(not as much as in April 09), but it's a good time to get a good deal on a lot of socks.

I've been giving thought to the jewlery industry. Zales (ZLC) was trading at 30 a share before the economy took a dump. now its at 3ish. I think this will be a good long term investment. other jewlers are doing well right now, such as Tiffany (TIF) Blue Nile (NILE) Signet (SIG), so I might throw a few bones their way and pray they don't go under. Might even see Ford like gains in the next year
Thoughts?
edit:
like Zales, but with a longer downward spiral before the recession, Charles & Colvard (CTHR) might be a good buy for the future.
-
Zales had a big day today so far being up 5% as I type. I'd say it looks like a solid investment if you are looking to put $200-300 on some stock(for broke niggas). If you're talking about throwing thousands on it, shit, I'd do a lot more research. Zales has had a lot of movement between April 09 and now. Ups and downs. The other stocks you've mentioned are much more controlled.
I'm going to add it to my list of stocks to monitor. Thanks.
Fucking Nokia and Motorola. Nokia keeps going up and Motorola had a good day today. I should stop saying I'm going to buy, and just buy $150 of each.
-
Looks like we missed a big boom on Zales today. Jesus Christ, 16.5% gain just today! If I bought when I posted, I'd be up roughly 10%.
Mother fuckers.
-
sorry
-
sorry
Did you invest in Zales? If so, congrats. It was a nice pick. I'm just disapointed in myself for not picking Nokia last month. Stock just keeps steadily gaining. It's doing better than Ford.

no, but i wouldnt' be suprised if it falls some before it head on the steady climb up. i've had a good bit of etrade for a while that i'm going to sell then buy zales with soon. etrade hasnt' done shit, it went up a bit a month or so ago and then it dipped back down and is staying at 1.65 lately

Yuri won some money at a casino.
I'm an idiot.
Honestly i think i prefer casino gambling to stock trading...the money I'm playing with right now will be used in vegas most likely if i still have any left when i go in Nov.
Stocks seem too arbitrary to me, but i still enjoy messing around with them whenever i have some spare $, which isnt often.
-
I haven't spent much time in the casinos, but when I went, I didn't like it. Blackjack at $10 a hand is too steep. Poker I understand and know how to play, but I hate dealing with poker losers. Not to mention, the most recent time I went it was at 12-1AM when I got there. Walking around and seeing some old lady at 4:00AM dropping quarters in the slots was a pretty terrible image.
I was in AC last Sunday for a convention and I didn't even bother going to the casinos. Went from the convention center, to Tun Tavern, harbor freight, and then home.

I guess this explains why you look for long-term stocks and I look for stocks that are well under a dollar to try and double my money fast lol.
Nothing beats the rush of gambling in a casino imho...the more thats on the line, the more you feel it. And it takes more than a $10 hand of blackjack ;) not that its not fun in small doses too, its just different.
I think i might need to call one of those gambling addict hotlines after re-reading that :?:

lol i bought zales when you niggers mentioned it ;)
-
FUCK YOU!
I hate buying when a stock is up. Hopefully it drops back under $3.50. I'll buy it then.
-
buying on momentum is one of 9999999 strategies to make money
another is buying against momentum, so go figure
-
Yeah I'm kicking myself for for not buying Coeur D'Alene Mines Corp (CDE) when it was at 6.8/share. ;D

If the stock market was predictable, we'd all be millionaires. Overall, I'm up roughly 10% on my investments so I can't complain too much.

When did you start? 10% isn't too shabby for the past few months. 10% is pretty damn good if you started 2 years ago.

Roughly when the thread started. Ford and GE have been great stocks for me. Technicolor I'm even on, but I'm still holding on to it.
If I started when I really wanted to, I'd be up 800%+. I was starting to build a nice savings right when the market crashed. I knew I should have invested, but I never did. I was always busy with work and never had time to learn. Now that I know, I kick myself a bit for not taking advantage of the times.

For anyone that cares, Nokia is having a bad day. It's possible it may dip under $15 in the next day or so. I think I'm going to buy in if it does hit under $15.

Who are you guys buying/selling your stocks through?

etrade for me

bump for some early morning trading action. i'm guessing after the health insurance and higher taxes for all and jail if you don't pay either ordeal last night that prices will be moving and shaking today.
etrade just appointed a new ceo or something like that and zales dropped some last week, so i'm hoping for more of the same
-
zales is a massive fucking failure i refuse to invest in them... there is a reason its stock is worthless

I bought a small amount, but actually too small of an amount. The actual purchase price of the stock is keeping me from turning a profit. :-X Once I'm positive, I'm dumping it.
I'm still on the fence about Nokia. It's under $15.
-
you can buy zales if you are in the day to day or momentum hunt but they were hammered by the crisis, they completely fail compared to other companies in the industry, and they have sucke as a company for at least half a decade... i dont have high hopes for them atm... maybe next year

lol owee! I just got out of DCP, they are still a good short term in out IMO but I have heard rumors about contract loss so I waited until I made 100$ off it and got out, not bad for a a few hundred bucks investment in the short term - dumping it into moar ford next time it drops .2 or more... fuckin A

next up, COACH ticker COH.... i got in on wed., they've already gone up a good bit and I am targeting 45$ before I sell - they could very well go higher... if anyone is seriously considering it I just finished preparing a 60 page analyst report on it and have nothing but good things to say about it.
if it tanks I'm going to have to find a new career path, maybe one with more hamburgers and philosophy.
have you ever noticed how if you REALLY do the footwork on research, it feels almost like youre insider trading? I mean if you realllllly fucking go through all the steps, I would say you have a greater than 75% chance of being correct in your assumptions - all thats left to fuck your estimates are
1) black swans
2) other systemic shocks
3) unforeseeable insignificant events
4) constructive fraud by liars in the company
1 and 2 are rare enough that diversification mostly crushes them along with longterm positions
3 are like sharts, it all depends on the pants youre wearing when they hit
4 is getting harder for these faggots to do, but the corner offices are full of people like me so who knows
-
doing research is one thing
interpreting what you find is another
-
thats probably where an education and experience come in then... I need about 15 more years of each
-
for those interested, zales tanked pretty hard today, it's under $3 a share now.

All my stocks are eating ass the last week or so. Ford is dropping like crazy. I bought Zales, and it dropped. I may think about buying another 30 shares to get the average cost down a bit. GE is holding strong with marginal gains/losses. Technicolor is a wash so far. The market seems to have cooled off a bit. I should find something else to buy while things are lower.
-
ford is going to come back strong but I'm holding a target of 15 for it, getting out at 14.50.... when all the stocks eat ass at the same time like today its not a big deal... nothing but positives coming out for ford so the drop is obviously inorganic
I might buy some more today on margin.... just have to decide if the % on margin is going to be worth waiting for 14.50 which is what, 10%?

I'm kind of thinking the same thing. I might just buy more Ford. I'm going to hold onto it for a while, so I figure it will be $20-30 in a couple of years.
-
Im pretty interested in stocks, but dont have much money i can waste. is there something i can drop like 20 bucks on and sell later to get something a little better? and where would i even start.

with $20 dollars in capital, fees would eat you alive. if you actually turned that into profit, you should apply to an investment firm

It also could be some of the fund managers doing their quarterly reorganization of their assets in their fund portfolio. I see this type of drops almost every quarter in the last 30yrs.
If you notice a lot of commodities are doing well when stocks swing down.
Watch the cycles. :yes:
-
92cxyd or whatever, I'm trying to get a job working for UBS where all I would do is find such mechanical offloading and buy/sell against it. Agree that its a solid approach? Whenever anyone has a "system" that calls for them to sell 40,000 shares, 10,000 each friday, I want to be the guy buying every one of those fucking shares.
god I cant wait for mcdonalds to call back so i can give up worrying about ever working more than 20 hours a week
-
fucking ford lol.... the stop price at a few analysts was in the 12s I still refuse to believe we wont see 15 in april... fucking ford.
-
What the fuck is with Ford? Anyone even to begin to understand why the stock dropped from $14 to $12.80? I'm just going to take this time to buy another $1000 at $12.50 so when it goes up to $15-20 in the next 12 months, I make more money.

I'm thinking of a 401k at my work and I can invest up to 50% of my contribution to what ever I want, but I have to pay $20/trade.
I have the option of picking some potential high risk/ high returns mutual funds to chose from.
It is with Great-West retirement services and they are somehow affiliated with Wells Fargo which I'm not a big fan of. :?:
I thought about just doing the 5%/pay check and get 4% company contribution. For tax reasons I find this a little beneficial.
Then using a Share Builder account from ING for trading what ever I want.

Had a very bad experience with them when they took over the bank I use to have an account with.
I was fee-d to almost bankruptcy about 15yrs. ago. And I'm worried if our gov't moves forward they will break the top 10 banks because they are too big and possibly too much toxic assets.
Wells Fargo is on that list. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/07/congressmen-to-call-for-b_n_383128.html (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/07/congressmen-to-call-for-b_n_383128.html)

There is some legislation that could make this a possibility.
I will be very happy some of these banks who screw people over get screwed themselves for a change.
But I worry of possibility of some kind of extra fees or lose of money in my retierment account if Wells Fargo gets broken up. :?:
I have very low trust with banks in general less than I do with our gov't. :?:

Honestly, there is no way to fucking tell. Stocks are no longer driven by logic. It's all about insider knowledge. Ford has not had a single bad piece of news in the last year, yet magically once it hit $14.50, the stock dropped like a rock until today. Why? A bunch of hedgefund managers all decided to dump at the same time. The same thing will happen with Citi. The only way to win is to guess right, get out ahead of time, or look for the long haul.

Today illustrates my point perfectly. The whole market is down ~1.5%. I have GE. They had a good quarter report. Stock is down 4%. Ford, down 3%, nothing but good news. The stock market for short term investments is impossible to figure out. Period. Long term investments are the only way to make out in the end.

I'm not in total agreement with that.
Because if I watch the market regularly and any time a 4+ days of advance or a 100+ one day jump, there is a down day or two for profit taking.
You at cycles and trends for short time investing.
I've also noticed mid month on some future they always drop then post big gains later in the month.
Depending on when the Calls are being made.
I have to track Cu pricing for my foundry. ;D
Also think Quarter and Semi annually be buying and profit taking opportunities because that is when hedge funds and mutual funds managers reallocate assets. ;D :yes:
