I am starting to HATE STOCKS!

[Little6pack]

Dam I knew I should have never bought into a CANADIAN company.

They sold out to a south korean company which paid out 10 bucks a share & now I am out 4k

Great way to end the year & start a new one off.

I hate to rain or ur parade but when Healthnet was bought out by United a couple weeks ago a earned $6k that week:biggrin:. Hell of a way to end the year for me.

My funds are kicken ass and almost back up to 90% of what I lost

Hail to compounding interest....

LOL We do work for Healthnet & United..

Yes as far as my IRA funds go they did very well... I guess I should leave it with the pros instead of playing joe stockbroker.

As for 401k when the market was down last year I plowed 17% each pay period. That sucker doubled. I pulled back now to get the full company match

Nice! Of course I should have bought FORD for a $1 when I could. What was I thinking, now it's at like $10? Oh well....

My son got FORD at 3 & sold it at 9.. All I hear is I SHOULD HAVE WAITED and got more $$ WHINE WHINE.

You have to be in the right place at the right time. That is the stock market.

My dad has owned/bought/sold Textron for decades and a few of months ago it split. It was just under $2.00 a share and I told him when he went to his broker to stop by my house and get a check from me (had $4k laying around doing nothing). He forgets about me and buys $10K. Three days later it is trading for $4.95.

DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why didn't you stop by and pick up the check like I asked you? Dad says, "You never asked me to put money in for you". Yes I did!

He is 85 so I just have to keep loving him, he is a great guy and the most generous man I've ever seen. He is also the guy who talked me out of buying $10K worth of gold when it was $200/ounce.

Such is investing. If you're going to let it make you crazy find another hobby.

Profit is profit! Better than a loss. Don't worry he'll lose the money he made on another stock. It's like a casino. House wins most of the time. Everyone wants the big kill. Taking consistant small gains is the way to make money.

My dad and granfather tought me not to take advice from anyone else. They don'tknow your goals or your needs. Plus when things don't go well you have no one to ble but yourself.

I wanted ford at 1.48 but my broker said he would not sell it to me as it wasvtoo volitile. I still jam him and should have gone elsewhere and bought it. The ge and ups is doing well.
