It's kinda funny to see how quickly the bears that laughed into stock_trad3r's face have disappeared Congrats again on those solid gains, ST.
That combination also gets crushed with the market. Look at Google. What does Google do really besides sell advertising? Sure, Google tries to move into other products, but the vast majority of their revenue is tied to advertising dollars which requires a good economy. If and when the economy struggles again, that stock will plummet. But don't take my word for it. Ride the wave when it comes. I saw you state that you based your gain predictions on the historical gains in the market of 11.7%. So are you sticking with that number? Because if so, you better start loading up on the "value" companies, because that 11.7% is the total stock market return which includes companies in more than one sector.
well I'm no "bear", but I can tell you one thing, if his entire portfolio is in the stocks he mentioned, he's a fool that will suffer a large drawdown eventually.
Here we go again Mak, if you disagree you are a bear? That shit is getting kind of old don't you think. I think the vast majority of us put the villiage idiot on ignore. If I wanted to read the same post 3000+ times I would not have it on ignore. This place is not nearly as toxic when you use the ignore feature. I can actually have real discussions, not the usual buy MY stocks, no more corrections, there is no subprime problem (my favorite actually!) and the the bizarre new world order or whatever babble.
Although you mean good, you are wrong again. If there is a large economic downturn ALL stocks will selloff. Low PE stocks, High PE, growth and value. Obviously. Google is unstoppable. Thanks for the support & paise guys. This index is soaring again. Even when the nasdaq & dow are only up .5% the stocks here are up 3% easily.
Nope, you're completely wrong. You need to study portfolio theory. You can actually maximize your returns through diversification with stocks that are not so highly correlated. By removing correlation between stocks, you can actually have a higher rate of return and lower risk. You for the most part have stocks which have the exact same risk. That risk is much higher than a non-correlated portfolio of stocks which will smooth your risk to a lower standard deviation while maintaining a very high reward factor. Seriously, study up on portfolio theory before you blow yourself out with a very large drawdown.
All of these are garbage, just pick up an IBD or talk to cramer at cramerica. I can give you a stock scanner, just pick the stocks that go up. alot like this portfolio. stock trad3r is a wannabe.. done and done. this kid sux big and fat and short ones.
