just wondering if there any investors here..? no one has brought this up.... anything you guys have in mind to discuss?
You won't find much analyst or tips here. It would be foolish to invest blindly like that. If your not sure, buy Mutual Funds. The USD is weak, no one wants it and the value is going down. On the surface it might look stupid, but if you were rich, you might find it to your advantage. I personally don't have the capital to even make it worthwhile. I do follow and have done so for a few years, not crazy, but occasionally in depth. I rather use the money to do something else. That's the thing. I save up enough to start and I just splurge the money. You should invest only if you have liquid-able cash or you'll run into trouble, should an emergency arise. It isn't a joke that the US economy is going into a recession, especially with gas prices and etc.. My 2 cents, no wait 50 cents cuz damn inflation.
Currently, the Stock Market has not been doing well lately. It's decreasing slowy as we speak. Losing money each day...
i have stocks with VISA and Citigroup im shorting them atm thinkin about doin buying options "puts" on them... doin well so far = )
seriously though, it is a good idea, once we get a new president hopfully the economy will revive itself, Bush isn't doing anything to even try to gain back the money he spent so until he is out of office.......>___< and our generation is going to suffer from Social Security because quite frankly we probably don't have any despite the fact we still hafta pay the damn fucking taxes.....
Parents invest in the stock market, A lot of their Super goes into shares, Haven;t been going that well, mainly due to the volatility of the US stock market affect the Australian Shares..
ye the ftse isn't doing very well, but always keep an eye out on the mining companies, they are very unstable and fluctuate a lot, but if u buy them at a very low price, chances are u could earn quite a bit, but don't be too greedy cos very quickly it could fall again. its more short terms share than a longer term.
picked up V as well, reports this april 28 before mastercard,,, expecting them to make money...then rocket into the 80s for sure...it is trading at 66... ibm posted and they are making money
with shares u have to be always checking to make sure its doing alrite and don't be too greedy or u will prob end up losing money.
i do invest in stocks; although lately it seems more like a losing money hobby. i'm looking to invest in forex - maybe China Yuan; seems undervalue. of course if you want something more stable, i wld imagine EURO. My 2 cents ... invest at your own risks
if u don't know what ur doing then i say stay well away cos it could cost u dear. also, even for ppl who know what they are doing its still a gamble.
because of the US im now double rich, i can buy things from the US for peanuts. Sterling is teh pwnage. We will be getting a one-world currency soon enough so dont worry about it.
Actually, the recession is due to so many factors. More so because of the credit crisis and sub prime of homes. The gov't not doing anything ? wow.. As much as I hate Bush, he and the U.S. gov't have done things. Perhaps too much. Have you heard about the tax rebates? The stimulus rebate plans? The bail outs? The re-doings of 'ethics' for money lending, finance sector? The lowering of the rates? If anything, I believe the Gov't is doing WAY TOO MUCH in the U.S. economy. IMO, it won't boom up, not until perhaps another 5-10 years. We still haven't hit the lows yet.
I invest in penny stocks! Boo yeah! I have 4 companies, and only 1 is picking up the slack of my other 3. I'm cool with it though. Lol. Well, one of the companies I'm holding is literally a sunk cost to me. Lol. I'm quite happy to be living in Canada since we're not doing as bad as people thought. ^^
Really? ok well lets see, for fun..... on my taxes i got a cool bonus after shelling out money for them in what is basically an interest free loan to them and if im earning before taxes 700 a wk and i get a 516.70 check each wk that means im getting taxed roughly 26% of my earnings (btw im just a college student)... hmmm so basically that bonus check doesn't seem so much to get ($600) lets multiply it by the US population which i will round up to 350mil since the last one recorded was in 2007 (301mill) and people multiple like rabbits... w/e..... so 600 PER PERSON is about 210 billion, as i recall the US debt is at about 9 trillion, ill round down to(way down) 5, so 5 trill divided by 210 billion is about 4.2% nice... so lets just see this as a tax the people put on the government shit, im more saying: about fucking time... but w/e this is the bush and government trying anything to save his inevitable failure and self dignity as a president, our generation and my future offspring are screwed and clinton's goal of paying off the debt by 2013? yeah ok.... sure.... but at the very least he didn't pull another Reagan....... [i only calculated with $600/person and didn't count in married and children because of the fact not every person in the US is working and filed a 2007 tax] the government doing too much? yeah w/e tell me when we get royally screwed when it comes to retirement... yeah its a long ways off but i would like to reach there and not hafta work till im like 72.... i'm all set.... last i check intreset rates just dropped like 1%...... my ING Direct account was at a awesome 4.1% not too long ago and now its 3% that is a HUGE drop..... and the tax rebates and stimulus rebate plans are the same and only for the 08 year... bottom line, the government is making a crappy effort to regain the finacial status of the US economy in correlation to their expenses which has a huge resemblance on the expense pattern of Paris Hilton but of course on a National scale... if anything that bonus was Bush last effort to leave the office less of a failure.
