I am selling everything and just buying ammo and gold for 2020

 

We would all die relatively quickly if the Green New Deal was passed lol

 

haha for real, better find a good hideaway from the Gov. then like just cash buried in the backyard

 

you heard it 12 years kiss your a** bye says their leader

 

How is Boeing not in the toilet? If I owned that stock directly, I'd be thanking my lucky stars it's not at record lows. I'm totally up for buying some but it's gotta go WAY lower.

 

I was watching CNBC talk about Boeing today. Apparently they have been through situations just like this before, and have always rebounded. The thing is, how much further is it going to drop? And how long will it take to rebound?

 

let's not get too political as it's frowned upon on here. although I feel most of us have similar beliefs and even those that don't could be reasonable without bashing.

i just doubt there's too many different minds since all of use here investing are capitalists.

 

probably a good idea to buy BOEING I bought some GM shares and GM preferred stock paid 6% dividends during the bailout, believe or not its not doing too bad and had a significant uptick when they introduced that new tailgate system

 

BP oil spill was what got me into stock trading. It was too easy to not buy on the bad news. I made 30% at that time. Which was only like $300 for me back then. This seems like a similar situation. Just need to wait for the bottom (i.e. whenever mainstream news stops reporting it, or they start reporting that flights no longer grounded)

 

yup that was a good move BP like BOEING is a solid company and is bound for a rebound, look at the smear job BP had to deal with after the Gulf of Mexico spill, like I said I bought GM stock during the Gov. bailout and its not doing too bad probably due to our recent great economy is helping a lot.

 

Hey guys. I’m looking to get some advice in learning about investments. My situation is that I recently got married, and my in laws gave us a mutual fund that they started when my wife was born. It’s definitely a huge blessing that we are thankful for, but we’re not sure what we need to be thinking about or considering, other than to just leave it alone and let it keep growing. I’d love to learn more about this stuff, but I’m not sure where to start. And advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

The biggest problem I see is that if you wanted to change the investments around, you might be hit with some big capital gains taxes. That’s the first thing I would look at. If it is performing well, you may just want to leave it alone. If it isn’t, look into the tax penalties of selling shares. Then maybe go from there.

 

one thing you may want to try is retrieve the BUY coupon on the stock from the in laws unless you already have one cause if you decide to sell it youll need it along with a SELL coupon/confirmation cause the IRS wants to know about all stock buys and sells transactions every year for taxation purposes. its good to keep good records of your buys most of the time you can get a confirmation of a buy/sell online thru a brokerage website I use TD Ameritrade.

 

Just remember over 90% of "experts" don't beat the market. I'm a big fan of low cost index funds. Good luck

 

To think I was down nearly 50% in December. It's been a hell of a ride.

 

Start by finding out what it is and its 1yr/5yr/10yr performance

Decide what you both out it... retirement fund? first house fund? baby fund? stacks on deck?

I would also move it to where your/her 401k is (Fidelity, TD, or whatever company) Thats me though, i like all my stuff in one spot to manage easier

 

Got tired of waiting on CSCO to drop so I bought in at 52.58. Hate buying at the 52w high but it is what it is. Seems like they’re only going up

 

good idea, cant trip out too much cause if you wait too long than youll miss the boat altogether, I bought BP recently and had my finger on the trigger(literally) to buy it when it was going down I balked at $40.87 a share and hesitated hoping it would go lower but instead it started to climb final to $40.97 I bought it its like around $43 now, don't kick yourself about it at least your on board for a bigger payout later.

 

buy opportunity approaching for NIO

 

Truth! On average, hedge funds beat the market last year, i.e they didn’t lose as much as the overall market, but we’re still down. Last time hedge funds on average beat the market before 2018 was 10 years ago.

Low cost index funds with options, sell call options when conditions merit, stay invested to ensure you get the dividends...that’s where most of my money lives. If you have some funds you can afford to lose, go more risky
