Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion

[Hiphoplives4eva]

sirius is cool, but im not sure about the long term prospects

I'm easing off stocks and cashing out some earnings now, but currently im invested in MSFT, NOK, COH, DDD, NFLX, EBAY, ALU, and ZNGA

Stocks that have potential to skyrocket soon include ZNGA, NOK, AMD and a few others. Stocks are tricky and hard to predict, real talk.

hiphop, where you get your news?

Combination of Motley Fool, Seeking Alpha Columnists, friends and fam. Finding good stocks is hard work. There are alot of good sources out there though.

I'm not sure about the long term prospects of Sirius either, but if you were savy enough to buy in when it was under a dollar then your good.

I'm back in brehs. Both cars are paid off. No credit card debt. Some cash in savings to sit on. Switching my sharebuilder joint back on starting in April. Straight ETFs homie.

I just do low-commission cost automatic investing on all ETFs...no mutual funds, no individuals stocks, no bonds. I just let them sit and don't sell unless they're a lemon, or if they're metals like GLD or SLV, I try to time them strategically. That's been working for me. I invest the largest portion in SPY, then I try to expose myself to sector ETFs, small and mid-cap joints, Vanguards, and overseas and emerging markets.

Anybody do options trading? I haven't gotten into it yet, but I know some people who cake off it.

Do yall auto-reinvest your dividends?

Do yall auto-reinvest your dividends?

I would, it saves you commission costs. Still got to keep track of them and pay taxes though. dividend taxes are bullshyt. Its double taxation, its already taxed at the corporate level.

The market has really run up, if anyone is looking for a hedge against a pullback look at the vix. Its negatively correlated with the market (market goes down, it goes up). Not for the faint of heart. Know what you're doing before you buy options or some etf on it.

I bought Sirius at 1.97 and again at around 2.20, I sold both at around 2.48. Sirius is well past 3.00 now.
I bought into Dell at $15, I hope it gets bought for $15 or above. That bytch ass nikka Mike Dell is trying to by that shyt back on the cheap. Dell has been trading above his asking price lately, hopefully I'll make my money back. My coworker who put me on to sirius, bought into it when it was under a dollar and sold around the same time as me so he could buy into facebook he was planning on leaving the job, he's still here needless to say. What are some solid picks for the upcoming future? I use option house by the way. I'm looking for that next Sirius or whatever.

What's the dell LBO going for? I know Carl icahn (one of their largest shareholders) is bytching up a storm.

I hate znga but I like amd. Still nobody wants amd's product anymore, Intel is superior. Still I don't think there's much downside to their stock.

Yeah you can cake off it. Its a low cost way to leverage yourself out. You got to remember they expire and you can lose the whole principal.

I see cats are building in this thread.
I really want to get into this where do I start ?
And how much cash do I need to invest initially ?

LBO IS $13.65-a- share. Ichan is bytchin, but I think I read some where that he wants to do a dividend payout of $9 a share. Dont quote me on that.

Anyone got a good introductory resource for this? I'm just 22, but its not too early to start building a portfolio along with my savings IMO

EDIT: NVM, reading "Come into my trading room" now.
