If you believe in the efficient markets hypothesis i don't see how you can say that there is any reliable way to choose in advance which mutual funds will beat the market. Unless you have a time machine.

Posted this Warren Buffet quote a day ago:

I have good news for these non-professionals: The typical investor doesn't need this skill. In aggregate, American business has done wonderfully over time and will continue to do so (though, most assuredly, in unpredictable fits and starts). In the 20th century, the Dow Jones industrials index advanced from 66 to 11,497, paying a rising stream of dividends to boot. The 21st century will witness further gains, almost certain to be substantial. The goal of the non-professional should not be to pick winners -- neither he nor his "helpers" can do that -- but should rather be to own a cross-section of businesses that in aggregate are bound to do well. A low-cost S&P 500 index fund will achieve this goal.

...so we both agree with the warren buffet quote that it is better to just track the market rather than paying someone to try and pick winners?

I would still invest some of my money in actively managed funds or buy individual stocks, because the more risk the greater the returns. This is what investing is about - diversifying.

But I would tell inexperienced investors to start off with safe investments (like index funds).

NUS and OMER are 2 other stocks to play in
One needs to establish a long term position in OMER (below 12.50 is :ehh:)

as well as some volatility lots.

at some point this stock will test the $37 PT REITERATED AND RECENTLY RAISED by Wedbush :ahh:, if it doesn't your volatility lots should have left you playing with house money by the time you give it up :blessed:


and one needs to look at NUS as a volatility play for the next few days (bob and weave mofo!:lolbron:)
until it settles before a run back to its former glory

:ohhh:on the other hand it may just get squeezed the fukk all the way back there and then some, just in the premarket alone so..... Wish I told y'all about NUS sooner...:skip: regardess there will be volatility :damn:

Tesla has a potential bearish pattern near the trigger point 03/24 10:01 AM



The $220 area is the trigger point for a potential bearish descending triangle top on the daily chart. Price would need to trade below $220 on a sustained basis for the pattern to become active and remain active. Downside potential for the triangle, if it were to remain active and complete, would be to the $175 area over time

squeeze it down baby!!!!! I will ride it back up :ohlawd:

How much is the minimum needed to really take advantage of stocks? I literally put 3 racks in an index fund the other day and I'm trying to figure this investing shyt out.

in my humble opinion
that all depends on how much you want to get and how fast

I don't know much about stocks but from what I've been reading it seems like 10%-20% returns are considered pretty good therefore I would I assume you'd need 5+ figures for it to be even worthwhile. I mean 20% on 3stacks gets you like 600 and then when you takeaway the fees and taxes and whatnot what are you really left with. You know we're on that gambling shyt, we can turn 50 dollars into 600 in a week lol.

:patrice: It's interesting though. I'm just gonna stick to my index fund(s) for now as far as investing goes. But yeah, nothing beats being able to make $200 in a matter of hours....or losing it :sadcam:

It's always good to invest. . . but honestly, if you have a brain and an extra few thousand dollars, I'd advocate entrepreneurial activities. It's not difficult to find good deals on craigslist to flip on eBay, for example. I would imagine unless you took a very aggressive position on stocks and made the right calls, you could get a much better short-term return on investment by making things happen with that little amount of money. The added benefit is you're in control of your destiny, rather than being at the mercy of the ridiculous number of factors affecting the stock market that you have zero control over.
