question is which stocks are high quality......and which have values that are largely based on speculation (GoPro IMO)

My favorite investing word. I just made a killing on IBIO because of the Ebola scare in the USA. Check into companies that sell respirators for the new flu. I can guarantee those stocks are going to go up if not already. Check into shipping lane and nature resource collection targeting the Arctic. The DoD just released a news article on how to deal with the new energy market starting there.

I'm sure can both agree that this stock is going to shoot right back up. It's a win for anyone that has oodles of cash.

Whatever you guys do, basically treat this as a true statement. Or possibly a purposefully untrue one!
 
what is an oodle? is it less than a buttload? just curious.
 
it's definitely an interesting market - just about everyone I follow that ended up at close, fell pretty heavy (comparative) in after hours.

I hope we aren't on the cusp of an '08, as a Nation it would be pretty devastating - you have to recover from a recession before you have another...

I kind of hope it is like 08/09, remember Ford and BOA for a buck a share.
That was a killer buying opportunity and I've got cash on the sidelines.

I think people are already forgetting what a recession really does to the economy. :laughing

There were enough killer deals back then that had I not played it so conservatively I would never need to worry about another paycheck.

Back then I bought stocks near their lows and sold when the doubled, only to watch them continue running up 10 times.

Another run like that and screw the economy
 
since we're talking betting here, the recent bull market wasn't really based on economic expansion...just market and political manipulation, which I won't rant about. I don't see the economy going into recession, by definition, three consecutive quarters of declining economic growth ...just maintaining the same low real growth rate, around 1 or 2%, it was before the bull market hype made it seem otherwise. this sell off started two weeks ago. bottom line..dow at 14600 would be no surprise at all to me. I sold all of my PGF at a VERY small profit this morning, and stayed in the REITS I am down on paper with, but have begun to produce steady 10 to 14% divvies, with PPS upside. Plenty of dry powder, I work almost every day, I'm in no hurry, and am sleeping well.. Ebola, and the crISIS is absolute bullshit. profit on it if you can.
AND I finally figured out the correct kickstart procedure for my 91 DR350S, so I figure I'm shittin' in tall cotton, at the moment.
JMHO GLTA:ride

I got a listen to a speech by a very prominent investor and the 1 thing he said that stuck with me was to keep cash reserves and be ready to pounce when the iron was hot. I have some cash set aside for just this. I am also shifting money around trying to better leverage my liquid assets. I am too young to have much in bonds so I took a pretty decent hit today on anyones standards. I am in this for the long run as the economy, even if I cash out and retire, is what I have to live within.

The middle class in some foreign countries have to live within a security perimeter because the other crabs keep pulling them down. America is not infallible and I doubt we will see another "bail out" in some time. At this point, it's political disaster - a10' pole kinda thing

I've never once been worried about the economy in my life, I am now.
 
You Guy's remember the IOMEGA debacle of 96 right?

RIGHT :facepalm

Just when you think you got it figured out you get a nice big FU just like the zip drive did. :twofinger



just sayin. if you got in during the first few day's I would count your gains a win and run like the dickens.
 
Buy Shire Plc pre open

if Abbie reconsiders and gives it a go, sell on bubble
if abbie doesn't give it a go, it won't be a loss at this price

either way SHPG get's 1.6B or 500M influx of $ which will likely result in a div payout

so, if a big money guy tells you to buy, he might know that equity might dump, and he has a large short position.:nchantr do you, uh, still believe in Santa Claus?
now, if you read it on BARF, you know that guy is a clueless nitwit, who just might be right.:)

I don't trust anything or anybody but hard work, personal skill, and dumb, random luck.

you do know that some years ago, monkeys throwing darts at the WSJ stock pages did better than the S&P, right? three years in a row....

Kidz, I threw hunnerts o' thousands of hard earned $$ down the drain on this shit...ok?

:laughing who knows - today's market is practically all speculation :laughing
 
What is happening right now is no where comparable to the 08 crash. In 08, the domino effect starting because of the credit crisis.

What is happening now is fear driven sell offs. Ebola, ISIS, and the drop in crude oil prices are cluttering the headlines.

correct. but...low oil prices in the past have driven industrial production costs DOWN, makes sense, right? but NOW..where? not here...we're a nation of ideas now, right?
we don't MAKE jack shit..

so there is something funny/stinky going on here.

shark tank, big time. watch yourselves, boys, we've been ratted out...

Remember back in 07 when market guru's though the credit crisis wasn't that big a deal?
The only thing we're sure of is that we're not sure of anything.
