How has everyone been doing since the stock market has gone down over 700 points lately? I am so glad I did not invest any of my money yet and now IMO is the best time for me to buy CHEAP and hold onto for long term investing... Hopefully you guys here are doing OK and did not lose too much or knew when to pull out and came out ahead (I know very few people who did this). I'm not sure how some people know or are supposed to know when to pull out but I guess next time we have a presidential election ...

I looked around here a bit and didn't find anything to answer my question so figured I'd ask here. I am a bit new to stocks and lately looking for a few companies to invest in with good dividends and I was talking to a guy and he told me to look into Canadian Coal companies and look for some metal/steel companies as well because there are some with 10% dividends and they are a good long term stock to own. What are your guys' oppinions on coal and metal stocks and do you have any recommendations ...

Spring's opening blockbuster brought in $500 million in sales. It was the biggest entertainment opening ever. But it wasn't a movie… Grand Theft Auto IV, a video game, recorded sales of $310 million… on its first day. It's not the first time video games have made a one-day killing like that. Game sales have outpaced movies for some time now. For the first ...

The Dow is down 181 points (1.59%) The NASDAQ is down 40 points (1.73%) The S&P 500 is down 16.8 points (1.33%) What does this mean to you and me???

Personally, I think the market will still go lower, but will be held up at resistance...At least for a little while...]]> General Discussion Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:27:24 GMT http://stockwatchforum.darkbb.com/general-discussion-f1/huge-losses-on-wallstreet-yesterday-t3.htm#5 http://stockwatchforum.darkbb.com/general-discussion-f1/huge-losses-on-wallstreet-yesterday-t3.htm http://stockwatchforum.darkbb.com/general-discussion-f1/do-you-buy-the-breakout-or-the-pullback-t15.htm Admin
Buying the breakout may not get you the most money, but it is much safer, and easier to buy the quanity that you want.
