Stockpickrs.
I have 100 shares of a stock that I have a 73% gain on. I would like to sell 50
shares of that to take profit, then I would like to buy some PTR (PetroChina).
PTR is at $147.32 so I can only get 8 shares of it. Its 52 week high is
$266.81. Is it stupid to buy only 8 shares of something? It pays a nice divy,
and I think it would be a good investment. It seems to me like I could possibly
get a double on PTR but is the Chinese so there is risk.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Kathy in NJ

Thanks all. This is very good and solid advice. Yes, I did take profits one
time before.
Yes, I am wary about buying Chinese, too.
Thanks!
Kathy
Take your profit, wait with the cash.
When you see a 3-5% pullback on a Nat gas name, that's when you put the money to
work.
I like APC, NOV, XTO, GLF, HAL, PDE in that order.
Long APC, GLF
Quality Kathy beat quantity anyday. I rather own 8 shares of say GOOG or POT
than 1k shares of VG or SIRI. Chinese oil I don't like. Petro losing $ because
the China gov and price caps on the oil they buy from Petro. They are not
seeing the return. I am short anything of China long of everything they need.
I would not own Petro China, if you look into the company their margins are
falling because of tighter government regulations, and lackluster refining
margins. I do not like the Chinese oil plays right now. If you want an
international oil company I would buy PBR or OXY.
no its not. you buy how many you can afford, just because you buy less than what
other people buy means nothing.you get what YOU want, the hell with what / or
how many others get......chris
no its not stupid to buy 8 shares utlimately its about the return you get and
its in percentage..so its going to be the same return
