I posted a thread a few weeks ago about a US history project, inwitch I had 20K to spend in the stock market. After about a week of owning 101 shairs of Boeing, and 22 shairs of HRB I got a little bit more risky. So I bought simmiler stock to boeing, but I did not know nearly as much about the company. The companys I came up with were, Textron, and Northrup Grumman. I asked my teacher about these to comps, and he said, there huge, so I bought 98 shairs of TXT at 51.02 and 38 shairs of NPCPRB at 131.50. Over night those two stocks made me muchas denaro. TXT made me 195.02, and NOCPRB made 141.74. I have chosen not to sell, in hopes that they continue to go up. Last night I notice that boeing fell like 2 bucks so this morning I bought 82 shairs of it at 48.57, and sold it at todays high of 49.72, for a dirrect profit of 94.30. HRB, and my origanal BA, is still making money but I'm not selling them yet. I plan to say good by to HRB at 4/14/02 (the day be for taxes are due) I figure that HRB has made there money in the tax season, so I want to get out before it falls. I have a gain of 437.94 still in the market. I hope I have a good day tomorrow. Tonight I'm looking for a good stock to day trade with, I'm thinking of bying enron stock, heck its 20 cents, its bound to go up atlest a few cents.

Nice picks there I.T. Don't forget to consider selling some shares short...in such volatile markets as we have seen lately, sometimes a good short sell will make you a tidy profit also!

I should have sold some stuff, the stock market took a big plunge. I'm still up 200 , but at noon time I was +700. I guess this is my first lesson in stock greed. Make money with it and say good by to it. Well I expect (hope(pray)) for a rebound tomorrow.

Learning about greed is a good thing. How much do you have saved towards that limo, so far?

I lost enough in equities the past two years to pay for my house. I am glad I did not buy a more expensive house.

Everyone at work buys Boeing stock (and that's it) I don't get it. Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket. Buy mutual funds, diversify! I know people who lost 30,000+ last year alone and are #&%!$ing cause they can't retire.

Oh well.

Sounds like those poor folks at Enron, <yikes>. Diversify, dammit!


Here's an interesting link or two...

If the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee is even partially correct in their analysis, we got TROUBLES. Check out the Howe Lawsuit and 'History' links.

You can also get a tape of the news conference they had a few months ago on C-SPAN. It's only 60 bucks! (I should've had a blank tape handy, sorry!)

And of course some people are into that ethical investing thing. Should maximum return always be the final arbiter?

A friend of mine does the same thing Biz. I had a pretty heated discussion with him about the need to diversify. He still thinks he's right even though he lost 50% of the value of his 401(k) in a single day!

Join the club tea, my brother has grown old in the past 6 months worrying about a rebound. I told him to sell Oracle and Yahoo over a year ago, but the greed factor took over.

Ah, the benefits of day trading, the only thing I am in long term with is the company stock (SVM). Come on Home Depot, please buy us out.

I hope someone in your class learns:
Diversify
Buy and Hold
don't get greedy
10% return is OK
be patient
the magic of compounding
sleep well

Mutual fund diversification. No single stock that's my motto.

Ditto Chili's remarks, when hope enters your thinking its time to get out.

Going long for a move back to the top of the trading range.

Investment is defined as a trade gone bad.

Just wondering if I was the only one here who has figured out Tea’s true identity? After reading Tea’s posts for over a year I have come to the conclusion that he is the physical manifestation of Alex P. Keaten.

Are you not doing the same thing that you moan and groaned about on that other worthless thread?

I’ll write this really really slow so you can keep up. I have no problem with the other threads, as I said. Was I using words that are too big for you understand or read in that post?

Then again, I can’t seem to find any posts by you of value. All I can guess is you are one of the worthless thread starters that has hurt feelings. Get over it troll. 8P

True dat, Nig! Many of us post some nonsensical BS. But, it's all in good fun and with 150 or so threads and every subject from A - Z being covered, people should just select what they want to read and let the rest go. It's a no-brainer that some can't seem to get thru the old bean...
