stock market
 

anybody mess with stocks?

Fucked around with it when i was a bit younger.... Shits too rocky these days tho.... Prolly jump back into ut in the future...... Investing in small businesses is the real way to go....safer bet with higher potential dividends....

why small businesses

With small businesses you have a small group devoted to the success of that business....less shares = higher percentage of ownership and financial compensation...

In the stock market your basically dealing with multi national organization who just wants to get rich...basically using ur money to do so with no real personnal losses to the primary investorsbif it fails...but crippling effects on the mid and low level shareholders....

Its basically capitalism in its worst form..

ya i get how the shares factor in - i didnt know if there was another big reason...so how do you guys feel about slumping companies (once prominent) and the chances that they return to their highs

Possible... But dont necessarily rely on it

obviously i dont mean blindly throwing money at random letters lol

but i get what you mean...i have alot of time on my hands and ive been studying up on trends, whos doing what, product/management changes, ect

i dont expect to learn everything like that - just looking for tips

two im looking at now - in terms of trends and timing - 1800Flowers and Sony

Sony religiously shoots up at the beginning of the new year...and im guessing Flowers will too - christmas and valentines day

Dude sold his 10% share in Apple for about $800 bucks a while ago, now that 10% share is worth hundreds of millions

for those of you playing at home - here are the stocks i grabbed, the starting price of which i grabbed them, and where they stand today..


FLWS (1800Flowers) -- 3.10 -- 3.70
JOEZ (Joe's Jeans) -- 1.04 -- 1.19
WEN (Wendy's) -- 4.76 -- 5.09
