Aggressive, growth oriented, trading based portfolio for a 37 year old dad of 3. Two years ago my first wife left me high and dry for another man. Bummer. I had $6500 in the market. I got serious, and grew it by 90% the first year, and now over 110% this year, and am closing in on $28,000 ( I have never added any, but have taken out approx 3 grand for Mexico trips ) as of end of October. Goal is to double every year, and retire by 43 to be with my kids and travel. Rarely hold for more than 60 days. Watch the same dozen or so stocks- big gain= sell, dips= buy.

You are all wrong with your frigging D+. I caught a double on this in the Spring, in 30 days no less, and believe it will go to 80 by the end of the year based solely on international growth and diversification. There is no accounting for taste . . .

AAPL
Apple Inc. - $196.48
- +0.13%
- $197.87
Because I have owned it off and on forever and am a devoted Mac junkie. The current batch I bought in the 60's. . . . this year.

GOOG
Google Inc. - $585.74
- -0.30%
- $588.89
Because it may be the best run company on the planet . . . and the internet is in its infancy, and they keep gaining market share and, like me, are not afraid to take risks. No risk, no reward.

China, Internet, Infancy . . . . Google of the country that will run this planet very soon . . . what else is there to say?

Big upgrade coming for Chinese TV viewers- customized Digital TV packages for their Olympics next summer will sell like hotcakes to a Survivor contestant. Only 6 million digital subscribers right now, lots of growth to come. Yes, it is expensive. But so is everything else in China, and this one's got real legs under it. Bought it at 30, sold it at 50 in less than a week, bought it again at 39.

Just messing around with this one. Got into it late, hoping to pull 20% out of it before bailing. Yeah, I know, chasing stocks . . . But I'm up 110% (portfolio) this year doing a lot of just that- 90% last year as well. Wife thinks I need my own show . . .Hmmmmmmm . . . . . .

A. " I think that you've got to be
long here, despite the imminent monthly
jobs number."
um...yeah...youre correct...except you
can replace the comma above with one big
giantic period. The Fed (world
banks/govts) are practically holding a
gun to everyones head FORCING them to
take on risk (buy assets) - hands down
that trumpts any argument anywhere about
anything... Benanke made that very clear
weeks ago... yet the very obvious weekly
head fakes continues.
Who would want to fight the Fed here?
None of us retail folks should be
selling based on bogus scares (like ANY
bad numbers, Dubia, or any of the many
LAME reasons we've heard since August),
unless that selling is part of our plan.
I dont know why everyone is mincing
words (even Cramer, although today he
was a tiny bit more explicit). Just say
it!!! "There are absolutely no
reason to be afraid of the market,
people must escape falling currencies by
purchasing assests!!!"...which is
exactly what the Fed wants...when the
dust settles, JOBS WILL BE CREATED...at
least that appears to be the plan...The
Fed is at "DEFCON 1", an
election year is coming up...They are
forcing some stuff to be fixed here;
attacking from all sides; you will be
swashed trying to get in their way...at
least thats how I see right now (lol). I
do not know if things will work out for
them (Great Depression II?), but so far
theres nothing showing it will not. USA
rocks!!!
lol...I probably shouldnt be saying this
today; jinxing myself; because Im
expecting tomorrow is quiet or down (not
UP!!!!), so I can get grab some
goodies...I really shouldnt be
advertising how bogus it is...but yeah,
I cant really see anyone SERIOUSLY being
anti-long anywayz, so its not like
breaking news (lol).
To answer your question(s), my guess is
the numbers will be SPUN so that Friday
is a bad day ...just like the most of
the Fridays...lol...I am amazed that
such trickery works each week...but youd
better get ur shorts/inverses outta
there quick, cause you know what happens
next...same old story...even though I am
cant see this trickery working anymore
Fridays for the rest of the year.
Have Fun!
