Stocks, who here invests?

[Yardsale]

The funny part of this thread to me IS. That if you can afford Goyard this and Dior that, you most likely: 1- are already rich (and might be worth listining to assuming you made the cash and not your parents.) 2- Have no idea how to invest your money and are the last person to take any finanical advice from.

Just some thoughts

I don't know that anyone here is dispensing much financial advice really..

well that might prove a point.

[Yardsale]

well that might prove a point.

couldn't that be said for every part of this forum.

[AstroWolf]

couldn't that be said for every part of this forum.

Which part, that people are rich? preteneding to be rich? or just talking out there ass? This is one of many threads of this very vast fourm. it is a comment pertenant to the now, this thing, this moment of converstation, not a assumption or projection on the site, which deals with many other areas of interest no matter how seriously or in depth. its called different channels bub, they all show different things. spice channel aint talking about obama, not in the way we think about it at least.

anyway, thanks!

What I was getting at was your initial comment, which you could draw a parallel to the ones on this forum that are already fashion-forward and those that are lost and simply not.

this market is f*cked. Im getting hammered here... hows everyone else doing?

[lovinthee47s]

im looking at getting in ESLR and XLF

i'll get in when it tanks even lower

what a horrible month...

[Yardsale]

This month is lousy. I should have bought more of V at 74. I'll back up the truck if the market dips again (which it will).

all the resources on trading in the stock market that i have come across have been about long term investing...

lets say i want to make some cash on the side,

just something i can take off the top, a couple hundred dollars

is this even viable?

are then any resources that cater specifically to this?

[israel]

hows the market been for you guys lately?

something is better than nothing. That being said, if your work has a 401k start there.

[israel]

should i figure out how to get a 401k anyways?

The majority of my money is just sitting in my account now. Im too much of a pussy to buy anything more in this ridiculously unstable market. Fannie mae and Freddie mac about to get fucked up the ass doesnt help weither. Might get into forex or something. Whats yall experience with that? If not forex, what else seems to be hot? Im cold on ideas right now.

[djrajio]

You're telling me you are worried about volatility but you wanna get into FX?

Are you fucking joking?

A lot of stock sectors right now are on the cheap.

A buy and hold strategy right now wouldn't be a bad idea.

[PQRS7]

AAPL

buy @ ~$36.00

sell @ ~ $190.00

took a hit with exchange rates though

forex?! the cognitive dissonance is making my brain explode.

[Yardsale]

praise be to allah my stocks are green!

[comaeternal]

Hey guys lately Ive been interested in investing in stocks. The thing is I really don;t have any idea on how to begin or anything. Can someone lead me to the right direction or something? Maybe helpful sites or something? Thanks

[Halifamous]

forex?! the cognitive dissonance is making my brain explode.

Yeah. Jesus. I looked into forex a few years ago, downed a few books before I realized the ONLY people who make any money at that game are the top movers. Get richers get screwed.

I haven't moved any of my investments since I dumped all my gold a few months ago (very good sale).

I'm mostly in tech and canadian resources (mines, oil etc).

My roomate used to be a highly paid investment analyst so I got lazy just taking his tips. Since he quit I'm scared to do anything alone.

[Yardsale]

haha I got some canadian resources as well. PVX pays me a nice chunk every month

"cya shareholder suckers!" Daniel Mudd and Richard Syron were last heard uttering as they lept from their 747.

Unbeknownst to them, the govt had replaced their golden parachates with beige, poor people parachutes.

I'm surprised the govt would even attempt this. I guess they had to do something after letting CEOs off the hook a thousand times.

[kunk75]

somebody help me. i know fuck all about investing.

[sircheesecake]

WIth oil at 95$, I wonder what this will do for stocks.

Also if I hear Mccain wins presidency, Im selling ALL of my stock. I predict foreign investor will be pissed since they all love Obama.
