Only a matter of time now. Bought out or blown out. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-...stick-gopro-plunges-all-time-low-after-earnin
ah yank! do you post on the hedge? those message boards are my favorite on the whole interweb some seriously funny and clever folks there
This ^ nails it. Ditto. I talked my cuz out of buying GoPro shares last year. I'm still amazed, and skeptical, that CRAAPL is maintaining its pace in that field.
Nope, no posting there - - SI takes all my energy But you're spot-on, those boards are tremendous. Better than most of the so-called pay4play 'investment pros.'
I love this thread. Very interesting read in the link you posted Yankee. Even more interesting reading the comments. Rarely do I find jargon that is so far over my head. Really got my curiosity going. Where would a average Joe like me go to start scratching the surface of such speculative endeavors? Any book recommendations?
Yah thanks HH. Well, tough for me to say how to get into it: I was fortunate to spend 5 yrs in the thick of trading, NYC & Malibu locations. Some guys who post here have the knowledge. There's a young gun on here, Boner Surfs, in Hampton Roads, who appears to do well at trading. O Barry is another one who knows what he's talking about in re the markets. As does Gaffer. As far as books, I don't really have one to recommend. The Interweb has a vast amount of information - - the trick is carving through all the hustle & handjob crap that scammers & wannabes post up.
I stick to stocks with dividends,,,,,PFE, MRK, DOW, ABT,etc......that way, if they drift down before I trade OUT of them, until they come back, I get dividends. Works every time!!!!
Short term sentiment: Buy. They've got another run in them. Its called Christmas. You know, when we celebrate god in our lives by engaging in insane competitive (and sometimes physical) commercialism.
Yeah, maybe we should invent another kind of Christmas, for swellies only. Similar to Festivus, but a bit different. We could use a surfboard as a tree, perhaps call it Swellmas??? Opinions....????
I'm thinking the same. either way something shady about dropping news in AH. the rumour of the drone...idk, there's footage supposedly taken by a prototype but no actual footage OF IT. so... could be a scheme to keep the masses hopeful. i think you're right about the xmas rush though. but i wouldn't hold much passed that. that being said looks like 25 is floor, with good support despite being LOY. also possible for management to pick up on the overreaction to Q3 ER some for a xmas pump and dump. if it gets to 30 again, I'd get out.. 29 on the safe side. thats still 4. if it doesn't drop monday morning, that is. that being said, i strongly suspect it will go either up or down in the next days, based on news GL my .022
Wasting your money, spark plug. With so many other great opportunities, why do people insist upon getting caught up in the media blather when trading? Whatever you think about a 'holiday boost' is already factored into the pricing. You're late to the party & your girl is taking it in the chute from Barry. Graphic enough for you? What would you do with a million $$? Seriously. How would you take a million $$ & make that money pay you for the rest of your life. Ready? My gift to you. Because you need to think more & perhaps this will help you. You take that million & buy shares in an issue that has been traded, and is viable and is liquid, for decades. That issue pays you 12-14% dividend. And it has paid that every year like clockwork for 20+ years. So, your million $ generates you from $120,000 to $260,000 in dividends per year across the years. You pay your low rate of tax on the dividends. At the end of 10 years you've garnered $1,367,355. That's if you haven't lived off the div for the 10 yrs. And that number, 1,367,355 is net, amigo. aka after-tax, aka all yours.
