Fun fact. If you would have invested 1k in Netflix in 2007 it would be worth 90k today.

Nor would you have anywhere close to 90k from 1k.
Awake would you please let us know how 1k will net you 90k with a 401k plan in 11 years time. Outside of the money your continually putting into it.

that's not where i'm coming from. hindsight is 20-20
no sense in wishing you had bought Netflix or amazon or Microsoft or Apple way back when is my point
slow and steady investing into a 401(k) will get you to where you want to go. with discipline and patience, not greed. once you have enough savings, there will be less of that voice inside that says, I wish I had bought that and yearning for $90K in my account ...

You and AFM are correct. Slow and steady aka conservative investing will, in the long run, net you a good amount of money to potentially retire with.
I agree with it but I also subscribe to the “greed” strategy. My 401k is going well and I look forward to retiring on it along with my other investments.

Maybe I'm missing something. Socked away how much? And why 90K?
I don't have the number of how much Reli, just a % of your salary and employer match. 90K because he mentioned investing in 1K into a specific stock to get 90K today. my point is, no sense wishing to have bought the magic stock. you can grow your retirement balance and not be all regretful about not buying that magical stock that made it big in the future.
the reality is, you're not going to be that lucky or you won't have the fortitude to hold onto something for that long unless you are receiving some insider info or the shares were distributed to you for being an employee in that company

Must have missed that post
But there's formulas/pages out there that will run the calc for you. For example, $1K invested in the S&P 500 back in May 2008 would be worth $1,923 in May 2018. Which is a compound annual growth rate of only 6.8%. Of course, that includes the market dump. If you had somehow timed it right and not put it in until March 2009, you'd have done better.

Pge leveling out at over 7 bucks. 6.44 is what I feel is a good buy for short term gains. However the delisting rumor is not the best.....
This ain’t over.
Tvix imo is prepping for another run up and massive dump back down. Last month it ran up to 86 and dropped down to 45.

you know what? i think afm199 is being a little bit polite in this thread.
this day trader was the same guy touting buying the dip in cryptocurrencies and selling at a profit whenever he was awake to do it. he claims he had a method. this is a young guy describing himself as a day trader. he always talks about making a profit but never revealing how much he pays in transaction fees or have suffered losses or his tax liability on gains. trying to pass off the illusion that he is always "winning". being a day trader does not make someone an expert on buying equities; it's just what he does during the day.
i think we have a responsibility here in this stock thread. it's not about buying certain stocks to get rich quick. the spirit of this thread is sharing what you have learned by buying equities. it's not about generating interest in get-rich-quick schemes, it's not about misleading the community when you have a vested interest in the stock.
this day trader has already influenced a member to be interested in buying pg&e when the member doesn't even know how to buy pg&e stock. You can see where that is headed ...
as much as you can be lucky in any investment, you can lose your shirt. being a day trader is not something to boast about. it doesn't matter how much you have profited in a transaction. you can lose a lot. revealing you are a day trader, it just means you do not have a full-time salaried job where you can afford to trade equities throughout the day ...
so buyer beware and don't take what you read too literally by anyone posting anything in a positive light, that is all i have to say today ...

You should consider starting a bluechip thread instead of trying to make this thread into one. Or maybe Ernie can pm the mods to change this one into the bluechip thread and then others can open new stock thread for all types. Either way, it seems we need a generic thread and a conservative thread.

It’s a shame you know nothing of me but tell everyone about me. It’s also a shame you try to rally the community against me when they all have read my posts, seen my victories and my failures as well. Why is this even a thing in the stock thread? Some of us want to do more than just put money into a retirement fund.

So we have this government shutdown that is already the longest in history with no end in sight. At some point the market will notice. Meanwhile Brexit is rudderless with the default being no deal and severe economic consequences to the world's 4th largest economic power. Trade talks with China seem to be going nowhere meaningful. There is potential for new military conflicts.
I'm too old for this shit. Dumped my equities a couple of days ago and bought a money fund to wait it out.

Pge considered solvent by Blue Mountain. Mind you they own 4.3m shares.
Ernie what do think? Can’t link the story from marketwatch as it’s via Apple news.
Another one I’ve watched for probably 7 years now is 9501.t it’s Tokyo Electric and finally starting to move again. You may remember them from Japan. They were responsible for the nuclear reactor. Their high was something like 22k and dropped to low 400 during the crisis. It’s finally creeping to 700 and I believe this is due to their reactors coming back online. Something to watch.
Even AwakeNAlive can invest! It’s long term baby!
