First of all

Are you in the stock market?

I know most will not give up much info but at least give one bit of it up. like how much you have invested but not what stock...

or what stock and not what you invested.

I don't know much about it so your situation may be different.

stock is cool begin with $1000 and make a 5% profit everyday and you'll have a fortune in a year.

with $1000, the fees will cost too much (% wise), no?

What kind of information do you want to know about stocks?

I deal primarily with what is concidered to be "high risk" stocks.. primarily individual companies.. start up companies.. that have yet to hit it big.. ive been doing pretty good so far.. used to day trade a couple years ago.. but didnt do as well as i am now..

No 1,000 its fine to invest in stocks.. Some people have invested 5 grand and truned millions.. granted you figure if you invest 1,000.. you may end up only making 1200 or so at the end of the year assuming you do decent.. but if you only invest 1,000 and keep it in there for 20 years, if you gain 20% each year and it compounds.. its alot of money.. then typically your broker will take a % of the earnings

I recommended this stock ZROS on GFY several months ago. You could have bought it for .02 to .03 cents a share. Its now at .19 to .20 cents a share.

If anyone took my advice they made over 6 times (600%) their money in 3 months.

Haha, I opened that thread and got to the part that said "Sure it is, with the minor caveat..." and I was thinking, "Damn straight! At least one person is thinking straight." Then I scrolled down to the signature and realized it was my own post

I just did sharebuilder.com I used to have money in the janus fund but they got hit with the NYC attorney general.

So I figure cause I cant spend everyday watching my investments my best beat is to dollar cost avg in. For $20 month you can get 20 investments any dollar amount you want into any of 90 different indexes.

If I'm having a slow month I can always trim back the amounts I invest that month.

Why trust money managers. Just play the market over the long hall. you can also look at ishares.com for the different indexes available in sharebuilders.com

Thats my strategy.

RedShoe · 10-09-2003, 04:59 AM

this biggest mistake in investing... is not doing it. Tomorrow.. Me and you STWOF. Let's do it no more fucking around.

Which brokerage do you guys use? I have a few etrade retirement accounts and money market accounts. But they charge like $20 or something to buy and sell stock. Is there a better place to use?

of course.

RedShoe · 10-09-2003, 05:16 AM

maybe you can help splain something to me...

Ok, not all of us are as wealthy as you, so I'll stick with the smaller priced stocks. It's performed poorly in the past, but STMP (stamp.com) has been on a very SOLID rise for the past 6 months.

hypothetically. I invest 5K tomorrow and I buy at $6.17 and in 3 months it goes up 2 whole points (which it's done in the past 6 months).

1) is a 2 point rise good? I mean, I know a rise is good but is 2 points a high rise? Or a low rise?

2) how much will I make back?

3) What's the % that I earn?

I guess what I'm looking for is a formula that I can apply for future reference.

To answer your questions

1) A 2 point rise may be good, or maybe not, it depends on the risk you take on for the 2 point rise. So compare it to stocks you believe have a similar risk profile. If it offers a higher expected return at the same level of risk, you should most probably buy it, and the same logic holds the other way.

3) Depends what you sell them for. Essentially the difference between what you buy them for & what you sell them for is what you earn. But then you should compare this to interest rates or US government bonds - this should give you a ballpark of how good whatever you make back on them is.

3) The % you earn can be derived buy doing:
(sell price - buy price)/buy price
Ofcourse that's a % return for the period of time you hold them, so, if you want to compare it to annual returns, which is most useful, you'll have to factor that in.

You can't really compare stocks to savings accounts, cds, etc.
You either win or you lose. At least that's how I view it, the chances that you will land in the 0-2% range profit are real small.

Also, comparing things is not that easy, there is an issue of fees, dividens, tax issues, etc.

Overall, in the long term, stocks blow away cds and similar investements (especially, if you know what you are doing)
