Will the stock market crash (June 24 2016 Update)?

lol

Laughing that I got them low, or laughing that I haven't listed them?  The low part is provable...just need to look at the cost basis.  Not sharing the stocks, well part of that is due to their cost.

[Tugg Speedman]

And that's the problem. I can't tell with you, but maybe you're the type that wants it to remain that way.

No I don't, I just learned to accept it is here and not going away, ever.

You listed out a bunch of stocks you claim to have done well on.. while also stating that you bought three great stocks last week but you won't reveal any of them. I'm not understanding why you won't share any of those three, yet are willing to spill out a long list of others.. "well part of that is due to their cost" ... what?!?!?

No, actually I said I bought three stocks last week.  Whether they are great or not, I have no idea, but I hope they will be great, but certainly didn't say it.  Only time will tell on that one.

The cost factor matters because there are already enough goofballs on this site that think people are what they are not.  Let me give you an example, say I bought a stock that was $500 each vs a stock that was a penny stock?   That feeds into some of the nonsense here.  I have a very middle class existence.  My wife doesn't work, has a HS education, and has her medical challenges the last decade plus.  Two kids, one with her own medical issues.  Drive a used pickup truck, have an average California home, but some of the comments here people like to peg folks into the 1%.  It's crazy.  So yes, I don't disclose that stuff because it isn't anyone's business.  Furthermore, I honestly don't like it when others say "buy this stock".  People should do their own due diligence and I'm not going to identify specific stocks that someone may purchase without them doing their own research.   You are free to tell people each stock you purchase, I'm free to not name them.   I'm happy to share some of the ones I purchased long ago....both crapburgers and ones that have done well, but with a historical view due to how long ago I bought them.

Lol. WHAT?

The price of a single share of one stock would make people think you're rich?

Now, if you said, "I purchased $120,000 of stock X, and $340,000 of stock Y"... now you've got something. But that commentary from you is bizarre.

Furthermore, the fact is that you listed out a bunch of stocks that you have purchased.... why these three should be hidden and "isn't anyone's business" but the others have different rules.. well, that is absolutely bonkers.

From the guy who thinks someone likes guns because he defends a person's right to protect himself.  Please, you have bonkers cornered.


JayBee....you need to read the rest of what I said.  Those that I listed were bought in the past, some of which I have divested myself from.  I choose not to share the ones I just bought, for reasons stated.  Why is this such a big deal to you?  Maybe I bought stocks in a porn company, or a marijuana grower, or maybe an international stock that is HQ'd in a country that is less than desirable.  I just don't wish to share.  Pretty simple.

... Maybe I bought stocks in a porn company, ....

Tough to monetize, too much free stuff out there.  The department I worked at for years also housed the Adult revenue group.  They had a tough gig....flood of cheap or free porn.  I'd stay away from those IMO.

Chico "won't disclose that stuff (his 3 stock purchases) because it's nobody's business". Hilarious. His parents, his upbringing, his schooling, his jobs, famous people he knows, dines with, exchanges emails with, etc., his wife, his wife's parents and his kids are "our business" and can be used as props to support his narrative. Not those stock picks, though. That's personal, private and nobody else's business.

[mu-rara]

That will never ever ever happen ... they are more powerful than even Washington.  They have all the money and own all the politicians.

FIFY.

Putting pictures of his kids on a forum just to prove a point?

Maybe it's just me, but that is really sick.

[Tugg Speedman]

Correct!

Yes. But at least he was kind enough to share that he purchased 3 great stocks when the market dipped.

If they do well, he'll have no problem sharing in the future.

thanks chicos!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dr. Blackheart]

And that's the problem. I can't tell with you, but maybe you're the type that wants it to remain that way.

If he told us, he'd have to kill us ... with one of those guns he says he doesn't like.

Nope, never said they were great.  I said I purchased three stocks.  Hopefully they turn out great.  As stated, it is for the longhaul....years down the road.

I'm just glag I didn't say something to the effect that there is only one "correct" way to buy stocks...the correct and proper way I believe.  That made many of us laugh here.  Quite frankly, the person it should have made laugh more than anyone on this board is Lenny....but I doubt it dawned on him.

It just isn't any of your business.  Sorry.  Move along now.

I'm not asking what stocks you bought, what the name of your dog is, where you live, how often you pork someone, etc.  Now, if you offer that up, fine.  If I offer up specific stocks, or whatever..fine.  I choose not to.

This really seems to be a craw for some of you.  Why?

Because you are the one saying/doing it. Disagreements are personal on this board of late.

Of late?  That's been the case here for years.  It isn't what is said here, it's WHO says the what.

No, I didn't share the three stocks I bought this week, no one's business. 

If you would like to know what stocks I've been in from the past, sure.  Most of these I got in very low.  Some I'm still in, some I sold.  For example, with the collapse of the markets in 2006 I was convinced there was no way the gov't would let Citibank fail.  So I went into C.  Proved beneficial.  For T, it's all about the dividends and the yield. 

C
T
NFLX
FB   (I'm up 376% since I bought)
APPL
DIS
DISH
Sony   (I bought during the hack when it was tanking.    )
Sirius XM  (bought below $1)
Visa
Sempra
Costco

So funny that the stocks you bought and have scored nicely on ARE our business.

But after telling us you bought three stocks recently, those AREN'T our business.

I'm guessing that if one of the newbies go "up 376% since I bought," it suddenly will become our business. If you end up down 75% on them, they'll remain none of our business.

As Archie used to say to Edith, "You're a pip."

I also stated clearly that those were bought a long time ago, and a number of them sold.  That's why I said I was ok sharing SOME of them.   Many I didn't share, thus the "etc".  Just have to read and read the context.

So not hard......
