Since they took this big hit, I was thinking of buying into this dip myself!
Anyone investing heavily this year??
- Thread starter rph2005
- Start date
Bought Freddie and Fannie. Fuck it. I'll get out if it gets too wreck less.
RWLK is getting pounded. I'm down 10% in 3 days.
i was just thinking about you when i saw it down. sit tight. it'll come back around. my whole portfolio is down about 5 grand but i ain't worried. this is where you gotta get rid of the emotions
Keeps dropping. If it gets close to $2 a share I might make a move.
That RWLK is dropping like a rock.
The market has been down so im chilling
I just copped DOM and WTW (Weight Watchers) on the strength.
All my shit is up today. Not one in the red. Got in a week ago in TKMR and will sell very very soon. Bought a gang of radio shack under .80 and about to dump. Bought mad penny stocks and try all bounced. Housing is gonna jump slightly. I bought 1500 shares of FNMA on a whim. Getting out if it tops $2.
Been investing a decent amount of cash this year. Had to learn not try to catch a falling knife. It's good to buy on a dip but it's good to make sure that the dip appears to be over. Not doing bad overall for the year, but gotdamn Sprint burned me bad when the merger with T-Mobile didn't go through. Will try to hold until it comes back up. Think I'm just going to focus on making a few trades a year and holding more so than being a day trader tho... doesn't seem worth it unless you want to make it your job.
If you plan to hold more, aim for stocks that pay dividends. That way, even when the price dips, you still get money paid to you. Ford and GM won't really go up much, but they pay basic dividends. Apple does as well. Stocks that the company will be around no matter what.
That FNMA looks intersting. Especially if housing jumps over the next couple of years like its suppose to. I might just jump in and hold
Yeah I feel you, I mix in dividend paying ETFs into my portfolio. I'm actually up 41% on Apple...bought it at the end of January when it bottomed out... wish I would have went in more
. I'm not necessarily trying to hold on to a stock forever, but I try to look for stuff that I wouldn't mind holding for at least a year... that way A) I don't have to be watching the daily up and downs of the stock market everyday like a junkie and B) If I do cash out a stock for a profit, I'll just pay the lower capital gains tax rate.As far as individual stocks, I'm mostly focusing on Tech since I understand the companies and I'm interested in them... for other stuff, I'm just rolling with ETFs.
Time to start watching "epidemic stocks". Anything that will suffer if this Ebola panic escalates. Airline stocks. Find airlines that are based or are a staple in that region and watch for a huge dip if flights are halted. Movie theaters will take a hit. Shitty restaurants like IHOP or Denny's and some fast food stocks will dip. Hotel chains will suffer. Rental cars. Post em here if you have a feeling about them. Let's take this to the next level.
That aint shit compared to the whole portfolio
true, but the objective of course is to not lose money. the longer i stay in red, the less chances i have of using that money to make more money. ya dig?
What does this mean and how will it affect Alibaba's stock price?

nothing really in the forseeable future. ALIBABA has no where to go but up.
before I jumped in I thought about waiting a few days because I heard the market might take a dip. I figured it was the usual fear-mongering to get a temporary dip(like the tape bullshit the past year).
Any reliable penny stocks message boards yall recommend?
Test stock. Watch JCPenny stock. $2 gains if you are the day trade type. Bought 1000 shares of GTAT for .88 and sold hour later at $1.54. Gonna buy it again and hold it for a few hours in A few days. Watch JCP. Let it dip below $7. $2 profit after you've tested it.

More fear mongering to get people to panic. Every article is just educated guessing. No one really knows what the market is going to do.
I was using Tradeking since they seem to be one of the cheapest as far as trade cost and have a decent platform as far as website, tools and insight... but I switch to Merrill Edge since my bank is Bank of America and they give me free trades since I hold a big balance between my accounts.
I won't give stock picking tips as I don't want any liability for telling you the wrong one

Nobody really knows if and when the market will crash....there's always chicken little analysts who will say the market is going to crash...they are wrong the majority of the time but even a broken clock is right two times a day.
It's just important to be diversified and be smart with your money management. If you are investing and putting in money you won't need for 10-20 years, you don't have to be overly concerned about market crashes as long as the companies you invest in aren't going belly up because you can't wait it out.
However, if you are investing and are putting in money you may need right away, then would diversify your portfolio in a way where you don't have too much in risky stocks and also are holding onto bonds and companies that you know ain't going anywhere but you probably won't make high returns on.
If you're a day trader, you can make money whether the market is up or down.. money management would be the biggest key.
Sharebuilder.com has no fees for inactivity and $6.95 trade fee. Tdameritrade costs $10 per trade, no balance fees.
IBIO was at $.67 on Friday and is now trading at around $2.50. Another stock affected by the Ebola drama.

I've been lurking on this thread for a bit. Got a few stocks of my own that I plan to sit on for the long haul. Been very timid about daytrading and penny stocks. But reading through these posts and the strategies and ideas you guys have has given me confidence. As long as I have a plan, and a stomach for a change, there's money to be made. Anyways, just wanna say, good shit so far. I will share my results like everyone else.
