Anyone investing heavily this year??

[Winky Wright]

Thinking of getting in on Twitter ahead of Monday's earnings report. What does BGOL say?

I'm in on twitter. Actually bought when it dropped to $32 a few months ago. Was thinking about getting in again at $50 right now.

The twitter user base is not growing like a facebook, but twitter is first to so many things and driving culture. The users are hardcore. It's a different thing. People aren't worried about how many people are logging into like an NPR but NPR is going to be there and be successful. Twitter is definintely figuring it out and user aren't leaving.

I've been looking for a solid craft beer stock to buy, and ideas? Not trying to get in at the Samuel Adams price.

Something to look at might be IXYS. They build semiconductors for stuff like drones. I don't know how the whole drone thing is going to go, but stock is like $10 and I see potential. But I'm really just going off feeling which means nothing to yall haha.

i really try to just stick to companies that have a proven record and that for the most part sell products that i am familiar with. that's why i usually go for pharmaceuticals. but that being said, that's just me and that's not to say i don't have stocks in other sectors of whose inner workings i am not privy to. the point being, since you're asking about drones and it seems you're not quite sure whether to get in or not, maybe you should do some more research first. it should be 80% research 20% gut feelings

Yeah I agree. I'm in on twitter because I use it and understand it. The funny thing about drones is those consumer camera ones have been popping up everywhere around me and they shoot great footage. That's what prompted me at first, I don't know much about them.

My knowledge is in the entertainment and tech sectors which are volatile stocks but that's where I play. Did the housing market years ago because people said that's what you do but never had the desire to understand it. Just not into it. Gotta invest in what you're in to.

 

[Mr. Del]

Do these online brokerages penalize you for day trading $100,000?

not that i have seen so far. but on a side note, today is a good day. today is the day that the Lord has made

 

[Mr. Del]

I'm saying if I day trade $100,000 in one stock at a time. Will that raise red flags?

 

[rph2005]

not if you're not an executive of the company. but if you're affiliated with the company somehow, the SEC will be curious. even then, i think 100k is not a lot of money. i am not sure what the set amount is that they start looking @ you funny.

I do just want to point out IXYS is now up over $11. Over 10% increase. Fuck wit me! Haha

 

[rph2005]

Yep....



However, I'm still pondering whether to do an Iron Condor on TESLA 1 SD out of the money with the NOV options.
IV rank is good at 56%, but IV is rising. Probably because of the earnings on 11 NOV.
Hmmm

 

[Tdot_firestarta]

Copped a few shares of Johnson & Johnson, Crombie REIT, Enbridge, and BABA last week when prices dropped..looks like everythings trending upwards..

just waiting for my share certificates to come in the mail so I can contact the companies about their DRIPS and SPP's..

 

[rph2005]

[rph2005]

RWLK has had a nice run up the past week(but I'm still in the hole). Their earnings report is on the 13th. I'm worried that this run up is leading to a big drop when the report comes out. I will probably get out the day before.

 

[rph2005]

got dam RWLK is up over 12% and I'm still in the hole.

you still crying or nah? youre up since we spoke last. hopefully you held on

What do you think about my plan to get out before the earnings report?

 

[rph2005]

what's the forecast? me personally i wouldn't do squat. RWLK is a long term stock in my opinion.

they estimate -.27/share

 

[rph2005]

they estimate -.27/share

i see. well, stock price might drop based on that. so yeah i guess it would be prudent to sell it before hand. as a matter of fact, this is what you should do or what i would do. if you have broken even as off today, wait a few more days to see if you can make a little profit then sell as you planned. might not be much but as long as you're up that's all that matters. then wait for the report and see how the market will react to it. then make another decision based on the aftermath. there might be some selling,.....i don't foresee a lot of selling just because i think their product is so innovative and i can see that company being around for a while. that being said, do what you gotta do

oil companies sinking quickly...I'm waiting for some to bottom out before I buy..Enbidge is lower than I purchased it in mid October but ima cop some more shares if they dip lower..

gotta check that out. market has dipped today. it'll be interesting to see how it reacts in the next two years now that republicans are in office. i get a gut feeling it'll actually do well. supposedly the SP500 historically has always done well after a midterm elections, 100 percent of the time so we will see. that is good news to my ears

 

[rph2005]

tgif.

BABA on fire. LCI fucking up.

 

[Tdot_firestarta]

^^^yeah man, I wish I went in heavier on BABA, only got 20 shares, but I wanted to diversify my investments..this shit is a monster and it ain't gonna stop ascending for a while.

by Wednesday...a day after 'singles day' in china it should be jumping up even more

 

[Enigma]

Looks like I need to (1) subscribe to this thread and (2) get som BABA stock asap.

I'm intrigued by this thread. I'll bite... I'm heavily invested in stocks I understand - NKE and BRK.B but I'm young so why not shoot for the stars.

What tools/apps are you using to trade with?

How would you start if you don't have G's to drop? Let's you got $200 to start off with, what would you do?

 

[Enigma]

@L_Son I'm no expert but I've been trading for years. I use sharebuilder and I like it. It's $6.95 per trade and I've never had any issue. Free to set up by the way. There are other options out there but SB is solid because it links up with my other banking accounts.

yes, sharebuilder is fucking awesome. never given me any problems.

if you only got $200 to start, then that's what it is. i would only buy into one company and invest $200 every month into whatever stock i decided to go with. in your case, since you got so little, pick a stock that pays dividends and is strong like say apple and put $200 into it every month. little by little
and sharebuilder is a good platform to use. very user friendly.

 

[L_SON]

@Enigma, Good looking!I just set up the ShareBuilder account. I'm trying to figure this out now. It's like a sexy chick talking Chinese.

@Rph2005 Thanks for the tip man! How long would you keep investing in Apple? I know I'm not going to make money right the back, but how long would it take to see a turn around on your investment?5

the first step is to stop thinking about how when you're gonna start reaping any benefits. you come in with that mindset you will be frustrated and not succeed. it took me over 7 years and a couple thousand dollars, not to mention the money i lost, to finally figure some of this stuff out(being patient and not putting my emotions into it)
secondly, you need to invest a lot of money to bank a lot of money. you're not coming in with a lot. you gotta build to that level first and that takes time and patience.
as to how long to invest in any particular stock, again, in your case, i say just aim for at least a year. every month you put 200 into apple for a year. between your dividends and actual growth of the company, i am sure in about 5 years, you will have something substantial to show for it.
take for instance, if you had started investing in apple five years ago and all you kept putting in was $200/month, as of today, you would have invested
$12,200 and yet gained a profit of $11,464 with a total portfolio net worth of $23,664 and that's only @ $200/month and i don't think this even includes reinvested dividends.

What you just said is not bad at all!!!!

That's the answer I was looking for. I know I'm not going to get rich or get rich quick. I want to start making my money work for me in the long run, and set something up for my offspring.

I'd rather dump the 200 in apple (Like you said) then spend it on silly crap that I won't have shit to show for it.

I'm getting ready to sit down and read this whole thread. I'm sure some of the questions I have might be already answered here, but I'm going to ask one real quick.

You mentioned Apple and it got me thinking about the companies that provide Apple with the components to make say the Iphone. Would those stocks be a good investment, and how would you find out what those companies are?

that is a valid question and once you start thinking in those terms, that's a good sign. to answer you question though, the part of doing research to see what stocks to pick and why will obviously fall on you. there are tons of informative sources. I started reading financial magazines like Kiplinger, Money, Fortune, Forbes etc. that's how i got started way back in the day. also you can just watch CNBC or fox business news just to see what the so called analysts are saying. even though they are not right all the time, they can at least give you some information about certain companies that you can further glean over and come to your own conclusions as to whether to buy into what they're saying or not.
Beware though, there is a lot of financial advice or financial noise out there and sometimes it tends to be overwhelming. what has worked for me is if, 5 or more analysts are saying the same thing about a particular company, chances are there is some merit to what they are saying and that makes my decisions easier. so let's say, Cramer is saying buy APPLE, and 4 other well known analysts are also saying the same thing, then more than likely, APPLE would be a good bet.
in your case, since you're gonna be doing long term anyways, i say you just get one stock and stick with it as you do research and hone your research skills over a few years while that one stock you picked continues to grow then when you've finally made a little bit of money and you've gained a little bit of confidence, then you can start buying into other companies you feel have potential.
