For a long time I could not make up my mind to buy shares. Fortunately, good stock brokers have tools to help new traders get used to the market and get advice. I found several options on a site with stocks relevant to Checkman. Short-term traders expect to make a profit in the next minute or hour. Long-term traders buy "blue chip" stocks (shares of prestigious companies considered a safe investment) and hold them for years, making profits gradually. Is it worth buying them?
You decide. What's your opinion so far? Why? How long you gonna hold? Had you bought at the 1929 top, your hold time would have been rough test of patience.
At this point it does not matter. If you bought at the 1929 top, you'd be dead by now. So it would go to your estate, if you had one planned.
When did that play break even was the point to be made, and was buy and hope a good strategy at that time, which at this point does indeed matter relative to the questioner's post. Wanna wait for 20 years for our money to equal what you trowed in there? Fine by me. What are some better statted strategies? There are better ways. I'm happy to show where a nice example of a simple once a month 'take a look' method that goes back before 1929. Happy to retrieve that presentation if somebody's interested. Simple, black and white Go / NoGo objective method, you know me, lol.
The OP spoke about three stocks. ABB, Disney and Eli Lilly. That is not an index. I mean, Disney as a stock did not even exist until 1959- ish, yes?. Just buy the index! It works in your favor because of how it is structured! Din't try to beat it, just join it! Oy!
Sounds like the old "Just long it dude!" Pass, thanks. We are well below when you were slinging that advice before. again just for you sarge... When did that play break even was the point to be made, and was buy and hope a good strategy at that time, which at this point does indeed matter to me, lol. For Index Investors, Just Buy and Hope is nowhere near the best way according to a well done study. I'm happy to show where a nice example of a simple once a month 'take a look' method that goes back before 1929. Happy to retrieve that presentation if somebody's interested. Simple, black and white Go / NoGo objective method, you know me, lol. Simple is Beautiful.
Don't try to twist away from the obvious answer because I tried to be smart with you and thought you would understand me. If you bought in 1929 and sold now, you would be wealthy. A single individual could not do that because they would have to be 100 years old at least. FFS man, you have been on a riproar for the past few weeks. I have noticed this. You are tearing into every user you encounter. Something has changed in you. What happened?
What are you on about. You don't want to see the study? No problemo man, lol. Your point was kinda lame Sarge, c'mon step it up. hell, not so much as a vid to accompany your post.
