fuck off i was just curious about what they are since everyone's talking about them. i didnt need a 3 page answer just wondered how they worked.

google search results can explain that way better, and easier, than anyone on here

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"

ghettoturbo · « **Reply #152 on:** March 13, 2010, 11:10:28 PM »

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.

Show me one time that I've done that, and I'll link you to where I answered the same question three times that week.

Sorry if you're unhappy I don't drop my life to hold your hand the way you want.

Fuck you jd, I don't waste my time asking you questions when I can help it. I met an unattractive high school girl whom I liquored up in dinseey land who has seen/been to brms. She's from nc, some high school with a ram for a macot, blue and yellow or some shit.

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.

Folio is up 15% in a month, I like it. Wish I had more $ in ford, but I keep running into "liquidity" crises lol.

Harrahs as in the casinos? I thought they were a private company?

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.

bigwig · « **Reply #165 on:** March 16, 2010, 01:51:41 PM »

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.

bigwig · « **Reply #166 on:** March 16, 2010, 05:46:40 PM »

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.

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

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.

bigwig · « **Reply #171 on:** March 16, 2010, 06:53:07 PM »

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

Back to stocks....who else is messing with options?

dont worry working for xenofraud is the biggest gamble you can be taking right now

if my life doesnt suck as badly as it does currently two weeks from now, i will have to sell all my stock and stop talking about investing I think

Zales is up big again today. I should have pulled the trigger when I had the chance

FUCK YOU!

I hate buying when a stock is up. Hopefully it drops back under $3.50. I'll buy it then.

BoostedSchemes · « **Reply #178 on:** March 17, 2010, 12:23:18 PM »

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
