Thanks. I keep adding money to my portfolio each month. Thats how you make good returns in the market-by adding more money to your portfolio during the dips. True, it is the same as the 1.5% but there has been a lot of negative sentiment here regarding APPL.
The golden question is where do you get the 'money' you add to your portfolio? a) Your mommy and daddy? b) Your job at McDonald's? c) Social Security(mental health problems?) d) You don't and you were just saying something that didn't make any sense like how you make gains without actually selling stocks?
Hmm, stock_trad3r : I don't think you would be quite as talkative if we weren't in the midst of a non-stop 1-year prolonged bull rally But great call in 2006 though! Stacy
Now that I think of it stock_turder, what is your average price of shares in GOOG? You said you bought at $415, $450, and $470...do you know there's such a thing as average price? If you added at $450 & $470 that would probably bring your average price up a lot right? So if your average price(I can explain what that is if you don't know) is $440, you're up 20% MAX!? Did you add to your initial AAPL shares? What price turder? Come on, out with it...your average prices have probably notched your gains down quite a bit. You're a bit advocate of dip buying so I'm assuming your supposed paper gains are less than half of what you claim.
I'm sorry, but if you're too stupid to know that you have to sell a stock before you actually clock gains you deserve to be lambasted. He then went on to say that by that logic Bill Gates doesn't have $45B. I had to explain to him that people say Bill Gates' net worth is $45B, not that Bill Gates made a $45B stock trade. He deserves it. It's absolutely unbelievable to me that someone that stupid can live their life everyday and not be hit by a bus or just die of stupidity.
It is still an asset regardless if I sell the stocks or not. You sure spend a lot of time analyzing and criticising other people's intelligence. Thats your main style of flaming, which is quite effective over other flaming methods. People take intelligence and IQ too seriously which is why that kind of ridicule hits so hard. In the information age there is greater emphasis than ever before on intelligence and intellectual aptitude.
And so you finally make my point...you have an asset, not a trade. Finally, do you get it now? Probably not.
wow - what a thread - again. I am wondering if higher frequency of threads like that tells us something about markets in future I guess buy dips
