Investing noob here. I'm looking to invest more than my 401k through work which I max out every year. What would be a good place to start doing research? I'm thinking I should get into a retirement 2050 fund or something with decent risk and reward ratio. Not looking to get rich overnight but I want that steady compounding growth going on. I already have a TDA account also so anything I can get through there is a plus. Thanks!

How low can $TSLA go? Sheesh.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Here's to hoping TSLA breaks 100.

VJET's gone up like $14 over the past few sessions

$NKE $SHW $EBAY $SBUX $DPZ


thoughts?

Never really followed DPZ for some reason. I'm aware of the stock performance, but I live in a major city, so I don't consider ordering from national chains ever when it comes to pizza.

I like NKE, EBAY, and SBUX, though I think the valuations for NKE and SBUX are getting a little rich. Still, both are great American growth stories that should continue for years to come.

SHW is a cyclical name, and I think it's even lagging the SPY a little bit this year. I'm not crazy about holding a company like this long-term, but paint is not my expertise.

Looks like a buy-what-you-know strategy, and I like it. No reason to jump into sectors you don't know just for "exposure" aka non-sense spewed by "experts" to make them look like they are adding value.

What do you guys think of MYEC? 

Here is an article on their 3rd Quarter Financials.  http://finance.yahoo.com/news/myecheck-reports-third-quarter-results-171653635.html

This was a stock that had done well in the past and took a dump when the bank it had done most of its business with, First Regional Bank of Los Angeles.

Here is the All-Time Chart.  http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/myec/interactive-chart?timeframe=1y&charttype=line

Want to get your guys opinion on it.

Getting ugly out there for FNMA :x

How low can $TSLA go? Sheesh.

If it hits 110, i'm going all in

 

[awwsome]

BITA :x

 

[awwsome]

Sucky day overall though

Atleast the weather is nice

 

[lyonbc1]

Do you guys think now is a good entry point on $ONVO? Gonna be a longer term hold for me so I guess it doesn't matter as much but still don't wanna jump in too high

Crazy sell-off.

Earnings for this week grabbed from FW:

Waiting for the dagger to JCP

 

[freakydestroyer]

So is the plan to bottom fish TSLA for the squeeze? That's what I'm looking to do with FB.

 

[wizards23]

Getting ugly out there for FNMA

Took a loss of the 3.24-3.25 shares. Overall nice winning trade. I was starring at it in the 3.40s and it seemed like it hit a wall near 3.50. In hindsight I should've trusted my instincts and took it off for a small gain. They are really running this like a promotion

Edit:

Still like a long if the stock can hold 2.68-2.70 area

TSLA is a long over 124 tomorrow imo. Might get a relief bounce

anyone else following this BitCoin blowoff top? 900 to 600s in half an hour :x

What the... How do you even take part in that?

I'm not messing with funny money like that. I've read a handful of articles about it and I still have no idea how it works and how mining works.

BitCoin chart with time and sale http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/

 

[belle155]

Yeah I don't know what to make of bitcoin. I'd like to get in sometime but not after this past week. Went from 300-900 in about a week. That's crazy. If the dollar tripled like that in a week that would be insane. Not good

 

[natch johnson]

Anyone buy/buying Twitter? its an incredible news source and I think they'll figure out how to capitalize financially soon enough. I want to buy and hold, what do you guys think?

damb missed out I'm gonna keep an eye out for a drop though or a large sell off....

On the bitcoin front, I actually have very little idea of how it works but I've read some articles saying its muuuuch more transparent and simpler to follow compared to how the treasury handles our currency its just that it is pretty new and unfamiliar to many, but yeah I'm staying away from that

 

[awwsome]

ONVO with that heavy drop
