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???

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.

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.

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!!

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.
