Stock market tips and experiences

It's at 327. Bought another 100 shares just now.

What is this? Wall Street ends down 8 trading days straight? How much longer can this beating go on??? Now with all these sell-offs, other investors will buy shares and hopefully the markets'll go up again.

The dollar is shit. I went to Bulgaria last year at this time and it was pretty bad. Now it's even worse.

Market is acting like it has already ended.


I thought it ended June 1, others say June 30th.

Enjoy the volatility until QE2 ends and then watch the market tank...

[markham335i]

never posted in this thread but what do u guys think about facebook going public?

would u buy stocks in them?

[jibaholic101]

^^I'd have to see #s and the valuation before making any concrete decisions...but I see no harm in playing the volatility....

[AngelinIsRich08]

If we don't go into QE3 then hopefully SLV should sky-rocket. But it has been going down even when the economy is bad, which is kind of the opposite reason for why I bough it. And when does QE2 end by the way?

Never ever go long a stock such as csco which is trading below the 50 and 200dma...if you trade for short term, you will lose money 90% of the time...you have to trade int term and long term and get lucky to have a chance against the sharks...take a stand and hope you are right...if you trade based on emotions over the short term, you are sure to lose money.

If you are looking at fundamentals, you are headed down the wrong path imho...you have understand technical analysis and supply/demand curves...you have to look at true money flow to see what the whales and pros are doing...they are there to take the small fishes money all day and night.

To get the big trend right, you need to understand that this mkt is being propped up by QE1 and 2 and without 3 soon, it will collapse...but we all know the Fed Reserve will start printing money once again and hence the commodity and metal bull run will then take off again, but for now, it will prob correct somewhat.

I think we test 1240 on SPX after a blip up over the next week...now thats where the real test will be imho...if 1240 doesnt hold the bull mkt will prob be over and we will enter the next phase of the bear...if 1240 does hold and we rally, then we will prob make all time new highs peaking(1450-1550)early part of next yr lead by QE III...if this happens, gas will be over 5.00 a gallon and inflation will kill this economy next yr...starting next yr I will not go long again for years...the bear will return and its time to go short again.

JMHO of course, your guess is good as mine....

You're right on some of that, but no one thinks CSCO is going back to $80. At these depressed levels, even going back to $20 or $22 could make you some good money. The company is still the leader in networking by a large sum and that is still a growth business if they can get their house in order. You've seen struggles from the competition (JNPR) which was a bubble as well, yet people are paying a premium for the stock. However, recently, it has heavily sold off due to a "meh" quarter and probably the realization that it isn't eating CSCO's lunch as quickly as some though. $45 to $30 since March, ouch.

I agree that patience is a virtue. Even with all their problems, few thought CSCO would trade nearly below $15 this quickly. I've never seen a company hit their numbers and be hated this much because of shrinking margins and tepid guidance. Still, the price is the price as a very smart investor once told me.

I honestly think it's more dangerous to trade momentum stocks like CMG, NFLX, and CRM. Those will come back to earth too and the pain will be greater. It really comes down to 2 different schools...ride the wave, or try to find bargains.

The key for any investor is to be patient and buy low, sell high. I think you're "safer" buying quality companies low and waiting than trying to jump on the momentum stock bandwagon where the fall will be swift and not pretty.

CSCO has been a slower bleed, but as I said, they are still the leader by a wide margin. I wouldn't count them out yet, but there are no guarantees of course.

[AngelinIsRich08]

Haha. I'm just waiting for NFLX to drop to $150. That thing has doubled in an year and it's way over-priced at $25x.

[AngelinIsRich08]

I'm no analyst but I'm guessing the market will probably be down again next week too.

are you just throwing out random comments, or are these educated evaluations? Seriously, you might have better luck throw darts at the wall street journal.

Former.

[AngelinIsRich08]

I'm just speculating. NFLX is a little over-priced though don't you think?

Markets just hurting me now!
