i took a risk on zynga on the ipo day. turned out to be a bad gamble. i went in knowing the price was too high, but i got in anyway. lesson learned.'

bp has been doing marvelously for me. turning out be a good long-term play (got in during disaster dip).

S&P500 cant break resistance at 1300 and hold it so personally I would hold off on any long plays until it does.
still possiblity for a tank

Re: Stock Market Thread - Mike - 01-11-2012

i fully expect another tank. this economy is still supported by toothpicks.

Re: Stock Market Thread - Apoc - 01-11-2012

It's the reason 40% of my retirement is in bonds.

Re: Stock Market Thread - WRXtranceformed - 01-11-2012

Bonds? Serious meh.

Re: Stock Market Thread - Apoc - 01-11-2012

Have fun riding the down slope!

Re: Stock Market Thread - BLINGMW - 01-11-2012

I hear ya, I'm 50% in a bond fund (FBIDX) myself recently. Same reason. And nearly guaranteed 6-8% yearly isn't horrible.

Re: Stock Market Thread - CaptainHenreh - 01-11-2012

So here's a question.

I've got this coin, right? And I thought about selling it (since gold is through the fucking roof wtf.) and buying some stocks. Maybe something dividend-y. Thoughts?

Re: Stock Market Thread - HAULN-SS - 01-11-2012

GOLD is the ONLY asset that never loses its value!!!!! haven't you heard!??!??

gold is high right now. i would not be buying it, but i'd probably not sell it if i had it. i know that sounds like it makes little sense, but that's what i'm going with.

dividend stocks should be long plays. as i firmly believe the market will crash again, long plays aren't smart.

says the guy with most of his assets in dividendy long plays Tongue

basically, i don't like where i am, but it has been working out and i see no good reason to change it.

Honestly, I would just keep the gold for now.

Not this guy!

Re: Stock Market Thread - Ryan T - 01-11-2012

My portfolio saw a staggering 1.7% growth in 2011. I really need to change something.

Re: Stock Market Thread - Evan - 01-12-2012

you beat the S&P! not so bad

Re: Stock Market Thread - Ryan T - 01-12-2012

Redneck Retirement (and you would be amazed at the number of families I deal with in my job that have $0 in any sort of retirement/savings but can afford $40 a week in lottery tickets.)

No talk about the Facebook IPO?

I've heard that the layperson won't be able to buy stock, that it is all already spoken for. I don't do a lot of individual stock trading / purchasing so I don't know the truth to that, but just sayine

I personally believe Facebook is lined up to take over the world, so if I can I will probably try to pick some up.

I personally stay away from high-risk investments....
Facebook is lining up their IPO and word on the street is they are "reaching" for a vvvvvverrry high IPO. I will let you interpret that.

Re: Stock Market Thread - Evan - 01-31-2012

its not 1998 anymore, stay far away from IPOs

or even better, short the IPO at the spike

Evan Wrote:or even better, short the IPO at the spike
no joke
More realistically, I'm too chicken to touch FB stock. Said to be overvalued and I certainly don't know any better.
As for your claim that they'll "take over the world" and treating it as a long term play, isn't it inevitable that someone's going to eat their lunch in another year or so? FB has stopped innovating, someone will do it better.
