Google?  I personally think they will certainly start pumping out PC's or OS's soon and in like 5 they will be a contender on a Microsoft/Mac level


Somebody correct me if im wrong, as i dont keep up much on stocks and shit like that.

[bigwig]

i shouldn't even be in this thread seeing as i haven't had a job since sept/oct 08 and have lived like a king off the market, i'll let you guys hash it out.

I'll give you monies, and you can make me monies?

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.

Kidding but I will if they hit <30$ lol. This week I am picking up Ford and something hybrid related, doing some reading on a good choice.

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.

Fuck I knew I should have optioned a put on them. Oh well no play money right now anyway.

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.

[Doug]

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.

Satellite radio has never turned a profit.  Has something changed this?

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.

[BoostedSchemes]

zecco is cheapest but i would use scottrade again over it

[BoostedSchemes]

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

[Doug]

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.

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?

[BoostedSchemes]

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.

Might use the gains to buy another house and rehab it...or maybe a small duplex and rent out the other side to young college girls I can pressure for sex.

Solid plan.

Ford, Northrop Grumman

With the way obongo is saying military spending has to be cut...I would stay away from NG.

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.

You're a nice guy, Frank.  How about we make the market predictions and tell you how to spend your money.

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.

[t_cel_t]

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.

[bigwig]

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 .
