Thread: What Stocks Do U Currently Own?

I will never tell.

May I ask why not?

What's a stock? You using chicken stock, you cooking bitch?

None, but I made $1200 on VWKM tuesday morning.

No time to come up with another play yet, flying out to San Diego this morning.

Why do you want to know?

Because I am reading and studying.

I bought MSFT in 1994. Quintupled.

Now I am looking for some strong ones for 2006.

Just wondering is anyone is into it, here.

Get a ten-bagger (or close to one), isn't as easy as asking for it. It would be nice if it were though.

nutri-systems. check the curve on that.

Never have and never will. Did a project back in high school where I had like 10,000 dollars in play money and I had to invest in stocks. Had like, Wallmart, Disney, and St. Luke's Hospital.

Lets just say I was not too smart with the money.

It's a skill that you can learn.

So is golf but it doesn't mean everyone will be good at it.

Just made some cash by buying at close to intial offering then selling them later that day.the two companies that are around me crocs and chipotle. I think both companies has a really good upside Chipotle being a fast food burrito shop going from regional to statewide and Crocs are actually are really weird shoes/sandals I don't know if they are found throughout the United States yet but If they arent you have alot cash coming into this company.

I have been buying stocks for quite some time. Some were given to me too. My most profitable ones are Coca-Cola, AT&T and Cisco.

Krispy Kreme..........

I am thinking more or less long-term to medium term.

I don't believe in speculation when it comes to stocks.

Example: GE

In the 30s now but the earning are very strong. Better than the market as a whole.

I will buy in in the 30s. As is should go up over the next two or three years I can sell some or all of it and put it into cash. And even buy it back when it goes through it's cyclical dips.

if your looking for long term investments, just by the index, dont bother with single stocks. Information travels to fast these days due to technology, and you will never be able to out guess the market. if you want to play around a bit, but in my opinoin the majority of your retirement savings should be invested in indexes.

A very good book. You should give Real Money by Jim Kramer a read. He's like Peter and you, he's into the fundementals, though he does target the mid-term rather than the long-term.

I used to be into technical analysis, but I've started to shift to fundamental analysis. Personally, I think that using FA to pick a stock and using TA to choose entry and exit points is the way to go.

real money is written at a third grade level, that book is useless, it was only published to capitalize on kramers sudden poularity.


"Investments" by Zvi Bodie, Alex Kane, Alan J. Marcus is a much better book and is used by most accredited MBA programs in the world. you can find it for about $40 on ebay.

technical analysis is useless and I would not recommened using it as the past performance of a companies stock usually has a 0 correlation with there future perforemance. in my opinoin fundamental analysis is a preferred coice.

tell me DOMS which dividened discount model do use when you do the analysis and why?

also how many growth stages do you typically use in your model, and how do you tell when the company your analyzing has reached saturation???

and what do you use for the growth rate of a company who has reached market saturation? and where do you get this rate from???

Thats a pretty good book for the novice. Best info in that book is to when to purchase certain stocks based on the GDP.

As for Krispy Kreme as a stock I wouldnt touch it will a ten foot pole.

Darvas made millions using TA (his box system). You need a stock that follows TA rules, many pennies are just all over the place.

Stable.

Four. It depends on the metric.

I don't. I usually out of a stock before it hits saturation.

growth phases.

dude, why don't you stop trying to act like you analyze the market, you may buy and sell stocks and thats cool, but dont lie and say that you use "FA to pick a stock and using TA to choose entry and exit points". When FA is used correctly it simply indicates whether or not the stock is over or under priced, and that alone is an indication to buy and sell, so you wouldnt need TA to choose entry and exits price! LMAO

You haven't heard of it, so it must not exist.

I was answering your question " also how many growth stages do you typically use in your model". I assumed you were talking about growth phases. If that's not what you meant, try wording your posts better.

So, because you think that TA has no value makes that true? Here I thought you were just some poster on an Internet forum, but it turns out that you're God. Well, that's good to know. But perhaps your right. Maybe TA has no place in investing, but I'm not going to take that advice from a person whos every other post consists of "Indeed."
