hahahahahaa....millions for everyone!:suomi: Oh wait a minute......most people who trade their own stocks and play in speculative dealings usually lose thier SHIRTS!
I can show you how to invest $50K and double your capital every 3.25 years in a GUARANTEED opportunity. It has been around for 2 decades and I wouldn't put my money anywhere else. I would back that up by stating that I am a Professional in the field as well.
.....................or you could chase Tech stocks, Resource stocks etc and hope to swing for the fence.

I went to "The Container Store" last night. I have a feeling that they will do well. They should expand proffuciously and I don't think it costs them all that much for the bulk of what they sell. Some of the acrylic products sell for $10 plus and I bet you I could manufacture them for pennies.

A year ago I would have told you SIRI...I wouldn't have been extremely confident but it appears it worked out. $6 per share gain. Not much but not bad. I think it's going to crawl up over 13 within the next couple years. I dumped all of mine recently but as it creeps back down around 6 I might pick some more up.

Journeyman,

Three Green Doberman picks for you and others:

ASTA Financial (ASFI): debt collector that buys debt for pennies on dollar and collects at dimes and quarters.

Blue Nile (NILE): Internet jewelry retailer. Growing at prolific rates and their web site is easy to use and configure for those buying engagement rings and such.

Red Hat (Red Hat): 20 years from now, they will be talking about this like Microsoft. Anything that scares Bill Gates has got to be good.

Sirius is over valued

be careful with it

I bought several thousand in may of 03 and sold in Sep 04. I remember telling you about Sirius on MW. I got all the value I need from that stock :)

I hardly ever invest in single stocks.

Remember one thing...


People question why they have lost money while others have won. The reason is simple, holding on to losers for too long. Set a limit, say 10%. Once your stock has dropped 10%, SELL IT. That will keep your loss at a minimum, opposed to hanging on to a loser for too long. Before you know it, it will be down 20%, 30% and at that point, you see no value in selling and will hold on to it until it is worthless.

By getting rid of losers at a 10% loss, your chances of making realistic gains is much increased with a diversified portfolio.

As for tips, I will post some of "my" stocks which I think will soar. A huge winner I have, which I am about to sell as we speak....

Good luck to you, but again, I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT hold on to losers for too long.

Easton I remember, it was a huge score if I did it back then but did not pull trigger

If we can get it back down to 3 1/2 it will be a play again, lets hope it gets there and then re buy

good call

first buy euros.

don't be such a dumb!...



mate, go back to your betting numbers, you suck at economics.

El riesgo de una intervención por parte del Banco Central Europeo para limitar el avance del euro parecía ayer un poco mayor, después de una advertencia conjunta sobre los movimientos cambiarios emitida por los ministros de Finanzas de la zona del euro y del propio banco central.

Sin embargo, luego de la dura postura contra la inflación adoptada por el presidente del Banco Central Europeo (BCE), Jean-Claude Trichet, en una conferencia de prensa la semana pasada, los analistas dijeron que el mercado cambiario está recibiendo señales mixtas.

<!--Related Links-->Los ministros y el BCE emitieron el lunes su advertencia más severa hasta la fecha sobre la fortaleza del euro, al decir que una volatilidad excesiva y los movimientos desordenados de los tipos de cambio son indeseables para el crecimiento económico y que están siguiendo la situación muy de cerca.

La acción fue un recordatorio de las etapas de protesta que precedieron a la primera intervención del BCE para defender a la entonces nueva moneda única europea cuando sufrió fuertes caídas en el 2000. El euro retrocedió inicialmente luego del comunicado del lunes en la noche.

Ayer en la mañana la moneda europea consiguió un nuevo máximo en Londres al cotizarse a $1,3470 por euro, mientras que en el mercado de Nueva York cerró a $1,3432.

<!-- E:CuerpoNota -->the only shares that are growing
is the tourism sector in europe
because of this:

New York's great. It's so cheap," Oswald said.

...

Remember, i don't know if you like it or not, usa, still the first potential, ..
so if they want, they can increase the interests, and contrarrest the euro, in seconds.

i will no play with euros.

treez,

when EXACTLy did you buy ARBA and make such a gain? It has been a total loser for like 5 years, and did a reverse split so it could stay listed?

I have had some losers in here as well (obviously) just don't have the information in front of me. Took a big hit with Microsoft, Nokia and Coke before I realized the let it go after 10%.

Overall portfolio since '00 is up 30%, but considering the amount people have lost, not too bad if you ask me.


Good luck

Marsh & McClennan (MMC), once all this bs settles down with Spitzer and the insurance industry, MMC should rise back to where it has been over the last 5 years. They are the king public insurance brokerage, and have tons more resources than any of their competitors, especially with Aon's decline of recent.

Also note, this is our main competitor. Would wait 6 months or so to see how their clients respond to the rate fixing, tying and so forth. Still believe there is some value here.

Ariba had a reverse negative split. I know that oftentimes the portfolios you set up online don't take into account these splits and just go by the prices.

ARBA is down almost 90 % since 5 years ago and has lost money every year since 2000.

Interesting, I have mine on Yahoo. Could be possible that all numbers are skewed then for all my stocks? I must say though, it did seem like it shot up "overnight" and when checking the recent list of articles, looked positive...

Any suggestions on a better place to "play?"

Do you know how they take into account regular splits? Like I said, I set this up in '00, buying and selling randomly since then.

Also, when was this reverse split?


ARBA hung around that 2.83 for as long as I can remember, even with a reverse split of 2 -1, wouldn't that bring it to 5.66? 4 - 1 reverse split?

Sorry Journeyman,

Was off on business and the hotel I stayed at in this small town had NO INTERNET ACCESS!!!!!!
Anyhow, where do you live and do you have $50K to drop into an investment?
Private message me any particulars about what you are looking for etc. and a bit about yourself - age, job etc.
