Re: OT: Investing In Stock. What is the quickest way
Just hoping market takes another dip down towards the low of the year. Been so damn lazy. Been in cash for 7 or 8 years. Need to get it all in there. TD ameritrade pretty easy. Thank god they laid me off about 8 years ago when they laid off about all the mid managers. So much better off doing my own thing.

The possible returns in the stock market is way too low and the process is way too slow for degenerate gamblers like us
5-10% expected returns on a yearly basis. So if you put a grand on a stock you are expected to make around 50-100 bucks before taxes in a year
Oh come on now, that doesnt satisfy my fix:LMAO

Sounds better than a simple savings account for the grand. Wish I knew the mechanics of buying and selling. Then again trusting in people that can't see "working" is not so easy.

Have had some good fortune with stocks......
Bought Sirius at $0.11 a share and stock has tripled
Bought BOA at $4.77 a share and has more than doubled
Bought JP Morgan Chase at $24.76 and has gone up over $10
However, also was dumb enough to buy Citi at $16.13 a share......oops.........
Honestly mo, you can easily make a higher percentage gambling than you can in the stock market just by bonus hunting and scalping.

zecco has $4.50 unlimited trades.
If you carry a balance of at least 20k the trades are free.
You can make much much more then 5 to 10% a year.
You can look into the 3x inverse index funds that often have 20%swings on a single day.
The index funds short the market, so you just have to figure out if you thing the market is going to go up or down for the given day.
They also have 2x long funds that do the same thing for an up market.
I have a friend of mine that turned 16K into almost 1 million since september.
Try doing that sportsbetting using sound money management.
And even if you could, try getting your money after you win.

Mutual Funds are a good way to start. You are buying a portion of a lot of stocks. Basically betting on sectors of the market.

Sure - what's there to lose? Maybe this is all just BS to manipulate the price so low that someone out there can score big.

When all is said and done, the stock will be at zero. No way around it. The bondholders are getting next to nothing, the stockholders will get nothing at all.Sure - what's there to lose? Maybe this is all just BS to manipulate the price so low that someone out there can score big.

Re: OT: Investing In Stock. What is the quickest way
You would have to be completely brain dead if you still think there are experts in this field, guessers would be a better word. The biggest problem with any sort of Share dealing is we have been brainwashed into thinking you can only lose X percentage of your cash because everyone around you are professionals while reaping great rewards on the upside.
The truth is there are too many snouts in the trough nowadays and either you pay for these jokers lifestyles or you go it alone day trading against tough margins. Consider investing 100K, how much return can you get or expect to get? someone on a soccer forum commented recently that you could get a 13.5% return net on betting the big 4 in the Premiership, 6.2% net the top 8. Its highly unlikely that one of the big 4 doesnt win, certainly nobody out of the top 8, "but you could lose it all" I hear you say, as if People are not losing their life savings on the markets.
We have come to a period of History where things are going to change, the day of the easy Dollar is over for these bluffer MBA wankers and investment will go back to the old ways, solid growth in Companies and Art investments. The markets are no more than another gambling event where People take their chances against each other and as such leaves the square firmly in second place due to time availability and advanced IT. :cheers

Re: OT: Investing In Stock. What is the quickest way
I could only be but so rich. At a certain point I would just give most of what I made away, should I luck in to enough money to do so. That would be a nice position. I will have to take into account everyones advice and see what I can come up with.
This type of thing is not exactly my cup of tea, but perhaps you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Not many places matching anymore. Always smart to contribute the amount that the company will max out. Free money.

Re: OT: Investing In Stock. What is the quickest way
Buy some platinum. That will go up a lot overthe next few years. Currently $1207. I posted this when it was $1085 a month ago, but there is still a lot to be made. It costs more than $1207 to bring an ounce to market. It is 25 times more rare than gold, it is used in the production of 1 out of every 5 products made in the world.
