[Lateralis]

at an investors group and i wrote a cheque. its not too hard now is it?

 

[d-loc]

charels schwab as good trading too

 

[hermanbc]

No, what I meant is what is it that you invested in. A particular stock, mutual fund, a business venture, etc? How's it doing for you?

 

[Lateralis]

it was to do with the economy. the percentage of it making money is around 70%. it will just add up over time im young so

 

[supervore]

so you just joined an investors group by writing a check and nothing else? Do you know what they're doing with your money or are you just like whatever, and let the cash roll in?

 

[threejay]

[PhillyBluntz]

i put alot of money bonds and my IRA

 

[Sharpy]

where does your dad recommend people put their money this year?

 

[.David.]

Yeah.. go ask him.

On the other hand, everyone pretty much says something different.

I used to work at this place www.prosperlearning.com and they offer coaching in real estate.. stocks.. etc, etc..

You put down like 4k on you cc.. then they work with you personally, for a year, and they basicallly help everyone get back that orginal 4k in the first 2 months.

I'm going to do it.. PM and I'll fill you in with more details.. its the best way to get into stocks/real estate/online biz.. whatever..

save up a couple hundred bucks and then pump n dump really really small companies. easy way to make 5 or 6 grand in an afternoon...

...or lose in one afternoon.. penny stocks are risky.. but yeah, you could make some good money.

 

[shagalabagala]

i was thinking a while back about invessting, and i thought about those shitty ass ugg boots, but then thought naw-with my luck i'll lose a shitload of $

AAAAHHHHHHH

i could be a millionare! those things have exploded out of nowhere, everybody has them. Those crocs shoes, too. I bet they cost about 2 cents to manufacture, seeing as thry're just foamish plastic

 

[wang_bong]

yeah penny stocks are pretty gnarly.. about two weeks ago i bought 500 shares of this new company (achm) at 1.74... now its down something like 30%. two days ago i got 100 shares of siri(sirius radio) and 100 of tsm(taiwan semiconductor manufacturer) and both of those have been up. its too early to tell for all of these though
