You say that, look into Stock Simulator app for your phone. Start out with 100,000 and learn to play the stock. Bought Bought Bought yesterday and woke up today and $$.

I use Market Millionaire on my EVO. It doesn't explain the stock market, other than just buy and sell, but you learn when to buy and when to sell. Im sure there is another app that explains how it all works aswell.

I have all of mine in Gold and Oil. 2 things that are always going up.

I'd search around. They also have stock simulators on websites, but much easier through my phone.

I just opened an ETrade account but gonna take 2-3 days for it to be verified through bank before I can deposit funds. I'm gonna give it a shot.

I did the same thing. I have been wanting to do it for a while and all this talk has got me interested enough to sit down and do it. So good luck to you.

4 gs is good....a operator out here lost 140,000 grand in exxon stock.

Gerald 08-09-2011 02:58 PM
I saw a little while ago, that oil went below $ 80.

Gas prices should start dropping soon.

Who thinks Gas will go down to $ 3.00 by the end of Aug.?

Oil was back up to almost $ 100 a few days back and look what gas price [no ethonal] was on Tuesday of this week. It took a little longer that what I said back in Aug.

Just goes to show that gas prices are artificially inflated! Oil is at $100 / bbl and gas is the cheapest we've seen in a while??? Almost like there's an election coming up or something???:eek::rolleyes:;)

I work on just a couple good name brand stocks and have some other money in bonds and mutual funds that I don't mess with.
With the way the market is going right now, up and down every other day, you just ride a straight line over time.
I buy when it falls a couple dollars and don't sell till it goes up about $3 to $4.
Over a year, you can do good, if it is a strong company. I don't screw with companies who's name I never heard of.

I let a company named Financial Engines take over my account for a year. They said they could do better than an individual could. After 6 months, I was $60K in the hole. I complained to them over the phone and they moved everything around. Still steady falling all year. When I took my account back after 8 months of them screwing around, I was almost 10% in the hole. Right now, I am only -2.1%.
So all the money I put in, and a big hunk of profits I made on my own would have gone down the hole if I didn't take it back. Basically, I wasted many thousands of dollars I took out of my check this year due to a big company who promises big profits.
On top of all that, they charged me $1500 to lose my money. I would have been beter leaving it in a saving account drawing .5%. I learned my lesson the hard way.
If I get back to where I was on Jan. 1 by the end of the year, I still would be about $68K in the hole, gauging from what I put in and what I made in the markert last year.

PUREBAY2200 12-16-2011 12:06 PM
Hate to hear you had that experience ray. It's never good to loose your hard earned money.

Most of the time it's poor judgement by an agent/ broker or they just didn't know what they were doing.
Every financial/ investment company has a few bad eggs; they don't stay long & they are usually pushy.

Hope you have a better year in 2012!!
I hope everyone has a positive 2012!!

Agree, there is so much info available on the internet your better off doing your own research, My etrade account has a lot of free research links, also subscribe to a number of free investment websites and sort through the b.s. to get some investment ideas. If you can read a balance sheet, use some due diligence and a little patience your better off making your own investment decisions.

Gold will be below $1000/oz in 11 months when a Republican win the election. No need to hoard gold and ammo then. ;) Oil will likely have a few dips, but trend mainly upwards for the foreseeable future, especially once we start bombing Iran.

Oh, how I SOOOO hope you are right!

Ray 12-21-2011 01:05 PM
Back in the black for the year, +.3%. No more letting any one talk me into investing for me.
I will lose my own money as an amatuer. No more professionals charging Ray to lose his money for him.
