6/17 I know the .com days of ugrads trading on etrade are long dead, but
I haven't heard any economy stuff on the motd these days... so...
what are the predictions on the DOW hitting 10,000? if, and when?
also, is that a good or bad sign?
\_ As long as Bush is in office, we are f*cked.
\_ why?
\_ economic policy based upon benefiting small group of
people which is politically important (read: farm bills,
steel tariff, lift estate tax and reduce stock dividends,
you name them); lavish military spending (Afghanistan,
Iraq), and shows no fiscal discipline... for starters.
\_ and this is new to this administration? hi idiot!
\_ well it is more extreme. Bush's budget has
planned for record deficts. Almost 1.5 times
as high in 2003 dollars as the last record defict
market. look for small, midcap, low pe, low ps, some growth for
decent peg, little or no debt, no big worries like
market. I look for small, midcap, low pe, low ps, some growth
for decent peg, little or no debt, no big worries like
headache walmart giving to supermarket stocks, price at
least 25% lower than yahoo minimum 1-year target ... get
some good stuff out here.
that was created by... yup that's right, his dad.
Funny how the democrats are the party of responsible
some good stuff out here. among the stuff above, still like
spending these days.
\_ No, they just raise taxes endlessly to pay for
the votes they need to buy to stay in office and
keep the poor dependent on government.
\_ Here are stats even a neocon can understand:

Democrats have decreased the size of the
government, Pugs increased it for the last
five presidents.
\_ because no matter how well or poorly the economy does, the
"we are f*cked" person is so deeply entrenched in their
own hatred they can't believe anything else. the comment
has nothing to do with the economy but with irrationally
deep personal political philosophy.
\_ Nonetheless, we are still f*cked.
\_ *laugh* whatever.
\_ I don't know about economy, but I've been making a killing in the
some good stuff out there. among the stuff above, still like
stock market. like 80% return since last october. It's as good as
ever.
\_ how do you do that? derivatives?

\_ just pick the right stocks, and you don't even have to go
into those high risk stocks, just all your basic boring
value stocks like best buy, helen of troy, american eagle,
fossil, blue rhino, netbank ... ok ... a bit of tech like
nvidia, utstarcomm and gric. basic idea of last october
is find boring safe stocks that has good value and no
downside as alternative to hopelessly low rates of money
market. I look for small, midcap, low pe, low ps, some growth
for decent peg, little or no debt, no big worries like
headache walmart giving to supermarket stocks, price at
least 25% lower than yahoo minimum 1-year target ... get
some ideas from smartmoney magazine. now is a little harder
cause things are more expensive but I think there are still
some good stuff out here. among the stuff above, still like
and hold hele, rino, ntbk, tkci, fosl and utsi (I like utsi,
started by berkeley alumni, for the long term. it's a
telecom stock doing well in the worst telecom slump ever).
\_ there's no such thing as a 'no downside' stock. the
stock market always has risks. maybe martha's company
was looking real good for a while, eh?
\_ you're an idiot.
\_ thanks for adding nothing to this thread.
\_ My portfolio is up 50% over the last 6 months. Of course
it's 100% SUNW, so it's also down 80% from a couple
of years ago. It's all just numbers you can spin any
way you want.
\_ Down 80% means you lack discipline in your
investing. You won't ever see warren buffett
down 80%. |
