What An Ass Whoopin

#101
2nd: I read the article and looked at the charts. Their stock is down a trickle. But they are strong and adding vet working programs to their fold. On top of that they are beating Lowes by 4 points a share. They seem like a good investment.

I will forgo Toys Are US and invest heavily in Radio Shack

Pull Down blinds are bank. I will get a pic of Veer and imprint it on my blinds so I can wake up every morning feeling like I am still in Hell.

Dewey- Good Find !! Thanks

VA Gent- I concur with your analysis.

Veer: I sent 16 grand of my personal money down to Haiti 2 months ago. I still have some mola in the bank.

BRK/B Buffet does not fail often about 207-208 now it seems to dip to 200 pretty regular.

UTX 128-129 safe buy at 124 but even at market its a long termer strong balance sheet good mgmt.

Cost 180-184 long term this stock splits a lot. Its getting close to that number now I think.

The above info is based nothing but my own personal views and invest at your own risk.

Nothing right now. We're in a bubble that will correct. Sit on cash and wait for correction that will come before Nov. election. Wall St. will tank the market just in time to affect mid-terms, blame Trump. Happened in 92 and in 2008. They're going to do it again... If you are in deep, take profits and wait.

After that, get in a nice index fund for the ride up again.

Individual stocks... too much risk. But, hey, you seem to like to light money on fire ;-)

And what do I know... I invest in beltfeds and arable land.

Cheers,

Sirhr

Home Depot was a good investment below $45. When I stopped buying LOL. BTW, the only reason I own it as an individual stock is because it's local. I also own coca cola for the same reason.

Good advice. I also think that we are in a bubble . But I have thought that for 5 years and have been wrong so far. The stocks I mentioned weather downturns fairly well. But its a crap shoot, one bad news day can change everything.

Agreed. If you are presently in, place Stops on everything. Be willing to “give up 10%” and take 30 to 40 %. Dont ride it all the way to the bottom. Stops are critical. Market is severely overbought right now. The MM’s will crash it (and shake out the weak hands), usually happens in September, have seen it happen occasionally in May. I think Sirh is right, they will do it and it will probably coincide with the elections.
If you are out (and in cash), stay on the sidelines, wait for the crash, buy low, heavy, play the bounces and DCA your way up. If you are presently in, your stops will convert to cash, then, see directly above.

How are you up 87% in two years. The S&P only yields 21% gains and that on the high end. Are you referring to bitcoin or some actual tangible investment in the market?

I've invested X amount in various stocks. Some have underperformed, most have grown significantly yielding me an 87% net gain of my original investments.

Go buy a low cost Vanguard index fund and ride it over years. If you think you can beat the market buying individual stocks and timing the market, it is equally efficient to go to Vegas and play the games over the same period of time thinking you can beat the house.

But this isn't a thread about how to safely invest over a long term. It's about playing the stock market. Why is everyone's panties in wads because someone else wants to be risky with their own money?

I enjoyed this thread. I learned a lot from it.
I have since shut down Nadex and abandoned day trading.
I enjoyed it while it lasted but in the end...it is not for me.

Hey.. if you are able to pull a few investment dollars into a kitty that you want to trade in... I think that is all well and good. When I had the time and motivation, I would do that a bit... but now; sheesh.. you just can't keep up.

Another thing that goes along with my Information knowledge of those on the Street is knowing what you are looking at and when to pull the trigger.

In B-School a group of us had to do a Team Thesis for International Finance. We hypothesized that trading indices on the international market using Beta Inversion Algorithm similar to Mutual Funds would produce a better Efficient Frontier and Higher Return to Risk curve.

Our hypothesis was extremely correct. This was at a time when the Stocks where really buzzing (Pre-2000). What my team and I did not consider is that we could have cashed in on this; either as a Published Paper (acclaim that led to offers) or Money. Turns out our Professor asked if he could utilize our theory in some of his research. Of course we said yes... We were MBA Candidates.. we were not ready to research, we were ready to conquer.

The son of a bitch wrote a book, got published and acclaim; yet, did not even include our Team in the Foreword or Acknowledgements. Needless to say, my funds go to the Econ Dept (Bachelors) and not to the Finance Dept.

What about intellectual property. Seems that you could have proven that easily.

You would be surprised at how many Professors publish material that were borne on the ideas of their students. To be clear, it was a main part of his published book and the idea was well within diversification theory and random walk. So it wasn't knew... we just rigorously applied 30 years of data to prove the theorem.

The biggest gripe we had afterwards was that we were not mentioned at all... At least a Thank you in the Acknowledgements.

No exactly what the thread is about~

I asked my son, when he came home a few nights ago:

Me- What did you do tonight/Did you have fun?
Son-“We had a great time.”
Me- Ya, what you’d, do?
Son- “Went to the park”
Me- At night??? (Thinking this is might not turn out ok)
Son - “Ya, about 8 of us, we needed grass” he started to walk towards me
Me- ?, grass???

Hands me his phone
Son- “We we boxing”
Me- I look... ah, mouth guards? Oh, ya, that guy (6-4) has the reach on you, but you better learn not to be so predictable. 1-2, 1-2 gets old..

-The kids already had music to their clips..


Anyway, that’s what I thought about when I read the title -LOL
