Cheap Tech Stocks

[Fiddy]

People, in case you didn't notice, the techs oversold in aftermarket trading when Intel (INTC) announced that they will miss this quarters earnings. I'm not recommending any particular stock to anyone, but the market WAY over reacted (like always) and sold off everthing tech stock in sight. Watch the market tomorrow, you might be able to get some hotdeals on some great names in the business for cheap!






P.S. I'm not trying to pump anything here, the market could really tank tomorrow just as well. Be nimble.

lol, i hear that the AMD/Duron/Athlon/Thunderbird deal is hot...

after all, they're kicking Intel's ass right now...

anyone got any NASDAQ coupon codes?

<< anyone got any NASDAQ coupon codes? >>



Hahahha... Watch out or the SEC will be all up on you

 

[namlook]

People are idiots. Just buy the good companies and hold the stock and you shall be rewarded. It's as simple as that.

 

[Cknyc]

Buy ATML!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Unclemo]

oh come on namlook... people want to make three times there money in a year... you can't win with a buy and hold strategy... just never been done before...

Actually Qualcomm stocks did that for a friend of mine. The stocks he held alone turned him into a multimillionaire over the years I've known him. Of course, his stocks were all stock options since he works there, heh...

Great thread! Right in the mark, and a welcome balance to the &quot;low end&quot; focus. Wake up Friday, Sept 22'nd and enjoy the bloodbath. Then spend some serious money on semiconductor stocks - a deal is a deal. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish. I know the people reading this forum saved enough on their PC equipment to do something worthy with their money.

There is danger in trying to catch falling knives.
Especially on short term plays. Wait for a definite bottom and get in on the uptick. There will be bargains, but shop for them carefully.

The stock market is really quite simple:

Buy low
Sell high

I just marketed in some INTC. After reading this board for a while, the gain can cover many shippings in buy.com.

So why are we still here to dig $20 coupon code?

Intel is a solid company but has been steadily declining for the last year. You need to seriously consider AMD, not only have they shown near 1000% gains in the last year but they have positioned themselves as a major competitor of intel and taken market share. Looking at AMD's chart, you can note the 3 tops, 3 tops theory suggests that the stock sinks and it did, but again with AMD's growing market share and recent split, it's a STEAL at only $24/share. Analysed indicated that AMD would hit the three digit mark by early to mid 2001, one bold analyst suggested 150! I was an analyst at the NASDAQ/AMEX and so never formally got to analyse this stock, but I would recommend lookin into it.

NOTE: IN NO WAY AM I ENDORSING AMD AS A COMPANY OR IT'S EQUITY. I AM NOT SUGGESTING ANYONE BUY EQUITY IN AMD, BUT SIMPLY LOOK AT THE NUMBERS.

Or, the opposite,
Sell High
Buy Low

I bought shps.com (shps) at .16, sold at 1.90. I love the stock, bought and sold it 34 times.

Check out Microsoft, MSFT. Stock is unfairly punished, stellar balance sheet, 22 billion in cash on-hand, a gorilla waiting to rise...

Actually I read an article once in money magazine concerning Stock investment stradegies. To be perfectly honest it has very little to do with how much or whether you buy high or low. The real trick is to put your money in and leave it in. They used an example of two investors. One started investing 20 years ago and put 1000 dollars a year in the stock market. He had really bad luck and managed to buy at the high times of the market and sell during the low times. Investor B started putting money in the market 10 years ago and he invested $2000 a year. He managed to buy low and sell high. Well they did an analysis and guess who had more money. The guy how had been in the market longer. The moral of the story is that you should invest as much money as you can as soon as you can. Afterall it is very easy to get better interest rates than that savings account you have. (I have personally tripled my return rates since starting to invest, but I have not started to trade yet).

Greg,

SHPS is good, have some. Also have some in LOCH and DNAP, you may want to check these out, but don't forget DD.

 

[Fiddy]

Well, I hope everyone made some money today, I did. BTW, INTC set the record for the most shares traded today, over 303,000,000 in one day!

Beware the Crash of 2000/2001.

Buying stocks and holding them for the long term is a wise strategy only if the US economy continues to perform well.

 

[WATERBUFFALO]

if you buy any stock and hold onto it long enough, it will go up. buy stocks that you can just forget about or they will drive you crazy.

in 1979, i predicted the stock market would go to 3000 (dow jones industrial average). it had never gone over 1000 at that time. When it hit 3000, i predicted it would go to 10,000. for two years, i have predicted it's going to go to 20,000.

keep in mind, it NEVER goes straight up. it could have severe setbacks that clean out the people who haven't got the stomach, and those who are stupid enough to buy on margin.

after 20,000, it is going back to 10,000, and pretty fast.

a good stock to buy is microsoft, as soon as the legal stuff is over, it will go back to at least double like it was, but more than likely, much higher if you hold onto it for at least three years

Techwhore,
No offense intended and I don't mean to be rude, but your statements are very incorrect. I highly doubt you worked as a Nasdaq &quot;analyst,&quot; and if that was your former job, no wonder you don't do it anymore

&quot;AMD, not only have they shown near 1000% gains in the last year...&quot;
I had to laugh when I heard this.. they made NOWHERE near 1000% in the last year Or else I'd be a rich man.

&quot;Intel is a solid company but has been steadily declining for the last year&quot;
In the past year, Intel went from 40 to 60 (right before Friday's crash, they were at 62) I wouldn't call a 50% increase a &quot;decline&quot;

I own both stocks... and I own both computers too. I'll give you an honest unbiased opinion: both Intel and Amd are really good companies to invest in. If you want a safe long term investment, both are really good. Sharp falls like Friday are due to people who overreact like crazy. Intel stock will definitely be back up. And as Fiddy said, this is a most opportune time to buy Intel right now.

 

[noxipoo]

btw, AMD is not the NYSE not Nasdaq

If you're looking for a quick buck, you should go to Vegas.

Unless you have a huge pool of money to throw around and can spend all day in front of a terminal, long term investing is the answer.

Just dump money into an investment or stock and leave it there for at least 10 years.

WATERBUFFALO, that's a very interesting statement.
