  • I got stocks right here!
  • Yeah, I have a handful of some stocks that were gifts (some GE, some Apple Computer (*pre iMac, so those bitches have appreciated NICELY, I've prolly made $50 on 'em!!!)) but buying stocks is for the fucking birds.

    No load mutual funds tied to an index. Thems is the shits. You can get 'em as aggressive as you want (emerging market funds), as wierd as you want (exchange traded funds), or as safe as you want (heck, you can even go into bond funds, not that I would right now).

    P.S.- I am not a financial adv
    • Yo Mekk A to tha Izzo, B to the Beiatch :)

      I didn't say why do you have them when you could be doing X, Y, or Z. Or all three at once, in a fearsome 4some. I just asked do you have any....

      so, in effect:

      • Em the ezzzezz, emalb to dekalb,

        I gave you my list. I then preceded to give you "the biznezz"- Because I'm a multi-homed mad-man and a badman, not a sadman, man. A day without Mekka Ridicule is like a day without The Mekka.
        • word is bond brother. word is bond.

          may the horns of a 1000 goats ass-rape the monkey who came up with the lameness filter.

          GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

            They did. He had a website, maybe you've heard of it? goatse.cx? But it's been taken down now, so he's homeless.

            Hey...don't look at me that way...I read it in a comment somewhere, tried to ping it. You think I'm dumb enough to actually look at it?

          • When I used to vrave and irc*(one winter, it snowed 20 feet and Baltimore City was in a state of emergency, so everything was closed. So we'd get drunk and IRC.), me and my buddies on the campus lan T1 would run circles around everyone else. With our exceptional typing speed, we were considered by many to be BOTS.

            What does this have to do with slashdot? One of those poor, poor sucka's we tormented was name cowboyneal.

            This story is true, up until the last sentence, which is a lie. I can't remember who
  • Although if my high-school business class were able to predict reality, I would be stinkin' rich right now. Completely random picks (I wasn't really interested, but I needed the class to graduate), ended up with the highest-valued "portfolio" in the class.

    Maybe in the future. But I'm not sure that I'd be able to maintain enough interest in business events to keep it worthwile.

    I work for T. Rowe Price [troweprice.com], so I've got a bunch of their stock, only about 1/5 vested though. I also have a mutual fund I've had since I was about 11 (gifts and money earn from cattle projects in 4-H), from vanguard.

    um. why?
    • just curious.

      You still live at 123 Fake Street?

      Can I officially declare the lameness filter dead?

      Taco, let it go man. Base the lameness filter on karma. Even if a troll gets good karma, once they start spamming bitch slap them down and it won't be a problem. But us good little users can type a good amount in 20 seconds, ya know?

      What do you all think of my idea?
      • hear hear! that idea would be grand!

        and now, a moment of silence. (I am a slow cowboy.)
      • I like that idea. I also think you shouldn't have a time limit in your own journal. When I reply to journal replies, I tend to do it all in one block. Damn annoying when you have to wait before sending the next reply in a batch.
    • Cattle Projects in 4-H? Hunh? Is that a JE-coming-soon-to-a-/.-near-you ?
      • if you'd like. I grew up on a small farm. when I wasn't inside breaking my 8088, I was making hay, feeding the critters.. and raising steers to sell for college money. what would you like a JE about?
        • Steers and 4H. Farm living is quite alien to me.

          Microprocs are not. However I'd love any old 8088 stories, as well.

          ACtually, there was a neat-o short story in the book "Island" about some 4H breeding program...
  • But I do have lots of socks. The blue and white striped ones are my favorite.

  • But I keep fake portfolios on Yahoo, just to see where some things stand.

    Since June 2002:
    Amazon is up 224%
    Yahoo is up 198%

  • I own many socks, mostly they have pictures of Homer Simpson on them.
  • Under the company matching, and a diversity of mutuals. I also play ball with my Roth IRA.
  • My favorite: HDI [yahoo.com]. I've been buying HDI stock for a little over 4 years now. This is a great, great, great company that has done nothing but make me loads of money. I originally started purchasing the stock in order to buy a scooter, but then it did so well and I got married that I never bought the scooter. And the stocks continues to grow... and split. Yea!

    Stable growth: FAF [yahoo.com]. I worked for 1st Am a while back and I know how good they are and just how dominate they are in EVERY market. Very good, soli
  • Mostly I own index mutual funds, but I put a little bit (5%) of my 401K money into my employer's stock. It's the only individual company stock that I own. But I figure if I ever meet the CEO or a director, I can insist on getting some face time on the basis that I'm a stock holder :-)

  • I stick $2K every year into a ROTH IRA and occasionally have some left over money to stick in a normal taxed account. I lost my first 2 years contributiosn to the Roth IRA in a penny stock that had great ideas, and a great product, but failed to achieve much market penitration.

    The normal taxed account is not doing too bad. Pretty much even. I own (or recently owned):

    IDNX - Facial recognition software DB vender
    NVEI - 3D movie lense manufacturer
    TMA - Mortgage broaker. Pays 10% per year in dividends and a
  • I have shares in Abbey National. Oh, and I have some seriously underwater options in my former company. They only need a 2000% increase before I break even. Which is going to be difficult, as it's just a shell company now, with no staff, and no means of income other than a licensing agreement with my current company (we were bought out, and they chose to do an asset sale, rather than an equity sale -- which nicely screwed up all of our share options).
  • LUV - Southwest Airlines
    PFE - Pfizer
    EDS - Electronic Data Systems

    That's about 20% of my holdings. Another 35% is in a basic "value" (low P/E) stock mutual fund, 15% is in a tax-free bond fund, and the rest is cash.
  • Just what gets bought in the ol' 401K.
