Let me offer another approach that may have a chance for higher returns than an index fund that most are mentioning here, but of course there is more risk.
There are 10 sectors in the stock market. Buy 1 or 2 high dividend paying blue chip companies with growth from each sector (for...
Anyone get a piece of this gold rally?!? I thought we hit bottom in the fall so I loaded up on some junior miners with little/no debt who were profitable at ~$1000 gold (MUX, GSV, NG, SA), but I was a bit early so I endured some pain, but it's paying off now big!
Is it time to get into...
Nope, HSA's are through "administrators" independent of your employer, so you can take them with you as you change jobs. Here's one of the higher rated ones with the Vanguard funds: http://healthsavings.com/
Hi,
I was just researching HSA's (Health Spending Accounts) and can't find any down sides to them. Why isn't this mentioned alongside 401K's & Roth IRA's as a golden trio of accounts to save for retirement?
It gets a triple tax benefit & some have low-cost Vanguard funds to invest in; and...
What does it mean when a company receives a government contract in terms of their stock price & future success? Does a government contract
warrant a pop in the stock price, and what is the likelihood of long term success?
I don't mess with penny stocks, but I ran into one on accident called...
Hmmm, I think the Warriors are either nervous or/and folding under pressure--they are a young team. Did you notice that only after they were down by 20 that Curry started sinking his shots? He started playing more freely because he had nothing to lose.
They need to shake the nerves to stand...
I was in at $2.75 but was overjoyed to sell it all at around $8. I couldn't imagine it maintaining such a high valuation. $20 is insane.
But then again, how do you really value a company that makes no money right?
Do you guys subscribe to any paid newsletters? Any suggestions?
I had subscribed to Small Stock Specialist ran by Frank Curzio at Stansberry Research, but he got booted. His newsletter was fantastic, and got me a few big winners (ie Skywork Solutions at $25, recently Macrogenics at $18)...
So what was Cramer talking about on Friday when he said use limit orders to protect yourself from these selloffs?
1) A stop loss guarantees a sell, but not a price.
2) A stop limit guarantees a price, but might not sell if it can't get the limit price.
During a flash crash, #1 would...
I bought shares of Zeltiq Aesthetics (ZLTQ) a few days before earnings report at $15.50, and it shot up to $22 after earnings. It ended the day at $21.34.
I set a stop-limit sell order for $21.25 (stop) and $21.00 (limit), yet the next morning, the stock price was sitting at $19.83 and did not...
My 2 year old son has been receiving a lot of gift money from family & friends so far (~$800).
I want to put it into a stock so that when he turns like 10 or so, I'll show him the list of everyone who's given him money & how much. Then I'll show him his money in the brokerage account & how...
Yup, got bullied (a lot of name calling) because I was the shortest in my class and I was Asian going to a school in Oakland--lots of black & hispanic kids.
Ironically, this was early in highschool when I was learning a lot about US History & slavery & racism, yet it was the black kids who...
Rite Aid Pharmacies are bouncing back huge. Got in at $6.50. When comparing their numbers with Walgreens & CVS, I think they could be worth $20. Maybe?
Jesus. Now that I'm reading on this, it seems so elementary. Kinda embarrassing that I didn't even know about it. Thanks guys.
What other 1st grade advice can you give me before I buy my next stock.
Thanks. So, if the current stock price is $70, I should just place a limit order of $70.25 or something like that? Is that the general idea?
And if the stock price drops to say $68 by the end of the day, can I reset the limit order to $68.50?
So there's all this news about high-frequency traders "rigging the market," and I'm a relatively new investor. I purchased a few mutual funds years ago, but now I want to try buying a few individual stocks. A few days ago, I tried to buy a few shares of Gilead at like $70/share, but when I got...
Just wanted to say that I haven't been on ATOT in awhile because work has been too busy, but I'm sure glad I popped in today! Best thread evar! Thanks.
This post-season just made me realize that my team on MLB The Show (a video game) can't win the World Series. We have great hitters but horrible pitching.
I'm from SF, and I'm getting sick of all the people wanting the Giants to lose game 5 so that they can close it out at home. YOU ARE GETTING GREEDY! Talkin' bout 'we want to win it this way and that way.'
Long time Giants fans know how agonizing it's been. We've waited for soooo long and...
doh, can't believe i didn't mention Obama.
Let's add Muhammad Ali, though it's harder to go crazy over a person who is aging & declining. The death isn't as shocking.
Celine Dion? Isn't she ridiculously famous & beloved overseas?
Who else is as famous AND beloved internationally as Michael Jackson was?
What if Oprah suddenly died? hmmm...not sure if people would crowd the hospitals & be crying out the streets.
Kobe Bryant? He's pretty popular & beloved around the world. Not sure if he's beloved in the U.S...
Yeah, believe me. After watching white people dance on TV, then changing the channel to see Magical Jackson pop, I was not too young to realize that he was one bad muthaf*cker.
The fact is that many people absolutely worshipped Michael Jackson when they were kids. He's like the Elvis of my generation (I'm 29 now). I had an MJ poster in my bedroom. I tried to emulate his moves, & tried to moonwalk everywhere i went.
Even though over the years, MJ became quite...
People who are dancers/singers/music afficianados/DJ's have no trouble separating the art from the artists. It's usually the casual music listeners who make comments like, "good riddance to another pedophile."
There's a DJ/record junkie website that I can't even get into right now...
Is this confirmed???
This is actually not sitting well with me.
Throughout all the turbulence in his life, I've always had a handful of his songs in my cassette mixtapes --> mix CD's --> Creative MP3 player --> MUVO --> iPod --> Nano.
Damn. I hope he's alright.
Say what you want about him, but he has made some legendary music in his time.
I have 8-16 year old nephews who pop & lock to his music.
To think, she could have settled for $5000.
So basically, she stole $24 worth (but given the artists involved, even that assessment is debatable) of music & got fined 1.9 million.
I can't wrap by brain around the legality of fining someone that much money for such a petty crime. Can a...
Man, you guys are dissing pop music but just wait until you're in a club & that shit starts to play. Pop music isn't claiming to be anything but popular.
I used to hate Lil Wayne until they played him in a club & a bunch of drunk girls started going off on me. Believe me, at that moment, I...
