Anet390's Stock Watch!

Your recent bump demonstrated how little knowledge of the market you actually have (given that you adamantly suggested against apple which now trades at almost 33% higher than the time of your post)....


I am curious however as to what factors go in to your stock picks (if you still maintain a portfolio) and why?

 

Well seeing as u are banned Rise Again, i can't really reply directly to you. But, yes apple will probably continue going up for a while, but just because it is going up does not mean it is the best choice. It's average percent rise is nothing compared to how much money you must invest per share of apple. The stock costs so much that you can invest in others and get triple the return. My portfolio is currently with a 217% rise with a starting amount of $10,000. So my portfolio has best out apples stock by a lot, and It didn't require as much money as it would take to get that return from apple. Apple will eventually fall due to over inflation of the stock. But until that day, nothing is stopping u from investing in it. But beware, look what happened to Facebook. I even thought it would rise in the first two weeks. I was very wrong.

 

Okay first of all you know nothing about investing. AT ALL. First of all you just compared a website company with Apple Inc. a company that manufactures computers and has record high profits almost every single quarter. It's not inflated it's what it's worth until the profits start falling the stock price will steadily rise. I honestly don't even know how you're selecting these stocks. I think you're just basing them solely off of historical graphs. What type of investing are you doing anyway? Day Trading, Weekly, Long-Term? You are way way way out of your knowledge zone. I'm not pretending to know much, but I know the basics and it seems to me your just guessing.

Your arguments are severely flawed. First, you can compare any stock with any other stock. The business does not matter. All that matters is money. If a company is making money, it's making money. Now the apple argument is a very controversial topic. Many did themselves stuck thinking "Did I already miss my chance"... The answer is, no. Many will still invest in apple and make large profits. But mark my words. The day will come when all good things will come to an end. Think about General motors. Without goerment bailouts, that multibillion dollar company would have gone bankrupt. Now I am not saying apple will go bankrupt, but a stock can't rise forever.
