BTW I just looked at RIMM and I didn't remember them having such good ratios.

Too bad I can't really get interested in buying since I think markets might continue to fall moreso. I also wonder if they are going to get any big competition soon?

Also, is it just me or has Google fucked up at everything they've tried to do over the past few years?

 

[Deku Tree]

Perhaps a brief bear market rally next week on the way to a 70% correction, or thereabouts. This is moving to fast to predict a quick bottom.

[Ripclawe]

What sites do you guys and gals use for stock information that spells out in easy details finances of a company? like debt ratio, P/E , analyst opinions?

 

[Ether_Snake]

Yahoo Finance (Key Statistics) and Reuters (Stock section, ratios).

 

[WickedAngel]

Would it make sense to establish a long position in the Vanguard 500 soon?

Does anyone have any idea how this week is going to be? I wonder if should sell my GE stock (bought monday at 22.35, is now 21.50).

If we could predict things reliably, we'd all be rich, wouldn't we? :lol

Asian stocks (excluding Japan, which is on holiday) are all up right now.

Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 3.7 percent, led by National Australia Bank. South Korea's Kospi added 1.1 percent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index advanced 0.6 percent.

The Asia index of 50 investment-grade borrowers outside Japan plunged 55 basis points to 295. Declines indicate perceptions of creditworthiness are improving.

Going to be interesting. European governments are joining the water-bailing we're doing, but this week will have some interesting economic data releases. Not the least of which are Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and JP Morgan earnings. I wouldn't put a lot of hope for them to paint a rosy picture.
Johnson and Johnson, Google, and Intel are also big ones coming up this week.

GE is a good company and I have faith that in long run (which I'm assuming is your target time frame) it will appreciate. However, it's always a good idea to do some research on the company's fundamentals.

Nooo, now who will I trust for stock tips

I'm actually in it for the short run, but I don't want to risk a lot, which is why I got GE.

could it be?

futures have fallen bit since the article was posted though...

PS: I pm'd about Ether Snake's ban. His post history doesn't reveal any foul play on his part at first inspection.

 

[gkryhewy]

Everything on my watch list is up significantly - unfortunately too high already for a quick profit.

Should have listened to my gut on MS - would have made a killing if I bought at 7.xx on Friday.

Who has the best brokerage accounts service?

I'm looking for no maintenance fees, low fee's per trade, and overall good service. (Also, I'm looking for a company that is likely to be around long term.)

Thanks.

Market seems doing good. Dow up 5%

 

[Tarazet]

I'm just sitting back and watching. I'm in a good position to capitalize on the market gains. Only stock move I'm making right now is buying some more KLAC, my position averages around 24.58 right now.

So far so good. 16% of my AAPL back, but I need more to break even.

See what happens. As we know, a big morning means nothing.

Fedex surprised me so that's the one stock I decided to buy in for my portfolio. Also, I purchased some Apple shares earlier but they don't appear on my portfolio. Damn you Schwab! Hopefully it's just a technical problem. Don't know what else to buy, I am looking to invest $1K in high risk stocks just in case, i'll see how the day goes.

Make sure you didn't do a limit order. I accidentally did that once, and the stock never hit my price... so it never showed up.

I'm not sure what to buy right now. I'm waiting to verify my bank transaction (I guess today is a holiday?) for $2000 extra funds, which I'll probably split between 2-3 stocks. I'd be a lot more comfortable after seeing how folx react to this weeks reports... I probably should ready up $4000 in funds actually. Not sure.

Actually yes... I set a limit order UNDER a certain price and of course I didn't buy it. Cancelled the order, but since Apple seems on the rise I don't wanna buy now. I have $3K on my portfolio, ready to see what to do. I moved $500 today, but that's just to let interests run up on them for a few months. Today is a holiday though, Banks get delayed.

Damn, I hope that my post about their credit default swap did not influence your decision on Friday... I was just making sure you and others had the information. I got burned by a trade like that earlier this year, where I had no idea that the cost to insure their debt was skyrocketing while their share price was too enticing to pass up, so I guess I am a little too cautious.

You influenced my decision, but I probably wouldn't have bit anyway. Or if I did bite at 9.50, I probably would have panic-sold at 7.50. I've been made gunshy this year by outsmarting myself one too many times. If anything, I appreciate someone leading me to err on the side of caution.

I prefer Scottrade TBQH. $7/trade for market orders. Although, some ppl here are saying Zecco works well too

I'm swapping over to Zecco. Free trades for all of October--and if you have a $2,500 balance in your account, you'll get free stock/options trades at all times.

Like the site so far, as well. (Haven't traded yet...waiting to fund the account.)

Zecco is good if you're willing to rely on another site, like Yahoo or Google, for your financial research. I imagine most here would be willing to save some money that way. They wouldn't be my first choice for a retirement account, though, because they have a $30 annual fee, whereas E*Trade charges a fee for brokerage accounts but not for IRAs.

 

[lil smoke]

You have to pay for the RTQ in Yahoo/Google though right?

 

[ArtG]

No. They have free real-time stock quotes now. (Yahoo anyways)

CNBC also has real-time stock quotes for free on their site.

 

[lil smoke]

^^ Hmmm never saw that before. Nice! Thanks!

 

[CharlieDigital]

They're doing well overseas and the next Focus will be a global release. The US will finally get the Eurospec focus just as the shift towards higher end small vehicles (compared to say a Kia) is in full swing.

I dunno...seems like they have a chance to rebound if all goes well.

Okay. Good luck.

F ^ ~25%
GM ^ ~33%

Spoiler

I know, probably has more to do with the general market rebound, the $25 million dollar loan, and the merger talks...but still!

 

[RumblingRosco]

Anyone think we just saw the "bottom" on Friday? I still feel like there's more bad news to come that'll lower the markets more, but maybe I'm wrong.

I think we might have. At this point, if earnings results show anything better than a complete societal meltdown, stocks are probably going to go up.

I think we've seen the floor, but I'm not sure about any huge upside at current levels.

 

[eznark]

The march to 10 looks good. Maybe I shouldn't have pussed out and extended my prediction to 11/1.

Anyone think we just saw the "bottom" on Friday? I still feel like there's more bad news to come that'll lower the markets more, but maybe I'm wrong.

I think there will be a significant, short lived dip on 11/3 if Obama wins (based on the Fortune 500 poll of CEO's mostly...reflection of market fears) but I think the market will sit around 10,000 for weeks, with highly volatile days interspersed.

There will be no bottom until we see the credit/lending markets fully functional again. They seem to have gotten better over the weekend with the global effort and the LIBOR rate is coming down, but I wouldn't say we're completely out of the woods yet.

Treasury Dept. is set for a huge announcement tomorrow very similar to what the British Govt. announced today.

Don't you think that's priced in?

 

[MassiveAttack]

Don't you think that's priced in?

I do, barring any unforseen measures not predicted or revealed thus far. The key part of the announcement will obviously be the government guarantees on interbank lending.

[Relix]

All the stocks I just purchased are in green and giving me MOOOAAAR. Fuck yeah!!!

 

[Tarazet]

If there is a downturn tomorrow, a lot of folks are going to get caught with their pants down I think. At least judging by the prices out of the money puts are going for now.

I can just move around. Things seem positive, besides I didn't invest everything in one sweep.

Yea - but we're seeing something really unprecedented in a concerted government response to world economic markets now. Very hard to predict but tomorrow is going to be very interesting.

Awesome. I bet my dad that the Dow would crawl up all day today. I win a dollar!!

My full prediction is up Monday, Tuesday, down Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, nearing 8000 by the end of the week. Next week, we're going down even lower.

 

[lil smoke]

Please hang tight this last hour+! I need about 3 days of green.
