alright guys I dabble in the stock market a bit and was wondering if anyone else on here does to. If so maybe we can all help each other make a little bit of money....why not. What stock do you own now? or what stock do you see rising? or what stock is too cheap to not buy. right now my two main stocks are Sears (shld) - its on the low end, the only thing I can see right now is it going up. jones soda (jsda) - they are doing a lot better than last year and now are selling at wal mart. Im not really interested in ppl saying what a joke the stock market is or how its all a scam. I just want some ideas on what stock to look at and for all of us to hopefully make some money. |

yea I was thinking about it back in july/august. I would think they are a safe bet, but their old ceo tony hayword, was recently talking about how their money about almost completely dried up after the oil spill. Now he may just be saying that cuz he is mad at bp? i have no idea, but they are pretty much past the oil spill thing and should rebound. I think bp is a good long term stock |

im not necessarily taking advice. im just curious if anyone on here messes with it. any ideas/opinions I get, I will look into with outside sources. also its always surprising what random people will know or don't know. lol. im just looking at ideas cuz i like money. lol. I wouldn't trust any of you guys watching a locked safe with my money in it, but I would probably let most of you drive my geo. lol Edited by Horn, Nov 15 2010, 09:27 PM.

Up until the bottom fell out I was buying Lowes monthly. Great time to "stock" up on it if one has the coins. I've gone through a couple splits. It's run up from the 20's to 40's several times & split for me. Wish I had the funds to buy more now. Be careful of any defense contractor stuff as the gov't is going to be cutting way back on defense spending. I'm not a broker, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last year. |

The Plan If you had bought $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00. With MCI/Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Miller Genuine Draft (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drunk all the beer then turned in the cans for the 10-cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, 401KegPlan.com's current investment advice is to take that $5.00 you have left over And drink lots and lots of beer and recycle. From http://401kegplan.com/ and I saw this posted on the bulletin board at my coffee house so the numbers may be a little old, but hey that's the economy. No, I don't encourage drinking, this is just funny.

lol yea I don't plan to make a ton of money, nor do I really expect too much out of this. In a way this is my experiment. I am young and have a little money to play with. Some of the stock I have/had is risky, but I can afford to take the risk. Believe me I could make more money by messing with cars, if I really had the time. My best investment this year is that I bought a b18c1 motor for $150, Im parting it out and will make $300 and I will be keeping the head (the head is worth another $200-300) and distributor. I wish I could do that good on my stock. brian - sux to hear about your dad losing his retirement. It shouldn't have happened to anyone. IMO more people need to figure out how to use their money wisely than to worry about how to invest it. Lots of people just don't know understand how to use money. Whether it is credit card debt or just stupid habits. We all know of people like that. Im not saying im the best person with my money, but I know that I am a lot better off just due to what I would consider common sense. anyways anyone else mess with the stock market |

Retirement in the stock market? That just feels like a terrible idea, no matter the present economic situation. Once I get a job *waits for Ryan to chime in* I plan on saving all that I can, and investing in the Market. I can't help you with this thread, but I will be reading with interest...no pun? lol |

Ahh but we are both young and have grown up seeing/hearing how bad it is. When he invested it was a sure thing. He had about half a million that would be coming to him as he sold stocks during his retirment..then it all just went down hill. This is all according to him...I'm not interest in the stock market. I'd rather save up to open my own shop or store of some kind then let the employees work to keep my income coming in. |
