Investment BS Thread - Stocks/Futures/Mutual Funds/Bonds/Commodities/Options/ETFs/401ks/Etc

well people can judge my results, but I've been doing this about 3 years and still positive by 50% total portfolio growth, with a few months ago being up at just south of 70% total portfolio growth.

they can hate, but can't deny I've done well fairly consistently.

 

No hating from me, you’re giving me ideas.

 

I've been debating on if I wanna throw maybe 3k in ford and 2k in ge and see if I can get my avg price per stock down a fair amount.

 

I have been wondering about GE for a while. I mean, I have GE products so the company is still alive. But the stock people talk about it like it’s the next Sears.

 

it makes me nervous, but damn it I've already dived in!

 

So I subbed to this thread pretty early, forgot about it then saw it pop up in my feed. I just started with a little bit of cash and Robinhood. So far I like it. I'm probably going to get into options in early next year as well.

 

How do you guys feel about what Square is doing in the fintech space?

I'm a strong believer in the company and have invested a pretty penny into the company. By far the biggest investment risk I've ever taken in my life.

 

It’s a great company, but was highly overpriced in my opinion. It will do well as a company, getting closer to a fair valuation now.

 

do i want to throw a lot of money at Ford?!?

 

Car companies like that are cyclical, so I’d expect it to go sideways for a long time, but you can get in with the awesome dividend right now. For a long term hold, I would expect its price to be stable, and pay that dividend reliably.

You got me wanting to start a position in it, I’ve been researching it. A reliable 8% dividend is a dream stock for me!

 

AAPL just shit the bed, as if their insane prices in a sad attempt to make up for their slowing phone sales wasn't warning enough

 

Good company, went up too high too fast, plus other factors dragging it down. They seem to be able to turn a little profit or are close. That may save their butts in the long term.

 

It’s crazy the impact that one company cutting guidance will have on the whole market!

 

I suspect more down days in the near future.

fake talks about china trade deal, POTUS encouraging everybody to 'buy the dip', yield curves continue to flatten, on and on...

 

Can any of y'all get this damn chart to load?

Nope

 

Must be the government shutdown

 

thoughts on AAPL

 

I’d say buy it now, but it might be $90 soon. If you can get in low, it’s a great buy. Who knows what is low though.
