StoleIt Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I did a search and couldn't come up with anything so if this is a repost I apologize in advance. I have been out of the game for a while but I made a pretty penny with Apple (AAPL) back in the 2003 time range. I told myself to buy Ford (F) back in 2010ish when it was down around a $1.00 a share but never went through with it...and I will always regret not buying. But now Apple is back in the $94 range since it just had a 7 way split and I am contemplating getting back in. While I don't think Apple is the power house has been for the past 5 years I still think it will go back up a decent amount (probably not $700-800 sadly). Any other favorites out there?

nsplayr Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 VTSAX. I like to keep it simple. That plus some G fund in TSP are my main investments other than real estate. Good thread, like the idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbush Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) More of a mutual fund kind of guy, but the one individual stock I own is actually Ford, which I picked up a few years ago and don't plan on getting rid of anytime soon. And while I've got a pretty good position built up in VTSAX, my favorite fund will always be PRWCX. Edited June 10, 2014 by skytaco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't confuse value with price. My main holdings: LUV, ARR (sweet dividends), F, XOM, SWHC, AVAV, BAC, BA Other speculative plays: HEMP, VASO, HL, RTK, HK, ZNGA Multiple others, plus some "stable" ETFs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbush Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 ARR? Thanks for the tip (just the tip). Gave me a real estate related hard on, time to slay that one tomorrow morning. I don't know, man... the yield is sweet, but ARR's actual share price is down more than 54% during its five year existence, while the S&P is up 108% over the same period. Obviously some of that is due to the nature of the real estate market over the past few years, and there's something to be said for buying low and selling high, but a dollar thrown into the broad market five years ago would be worth four times more today than a dollar invested in ARR.

Obvious disclaimer for the rest of the thread: Take anything you read here at your own peril. Noted. But the dividend yield may make it worth it, and at my pre-SNAP age the risk is negiligble. Also, in ARR's case, it looks undervalued, but I'd have to do my fancy fundamental analysis of their holdings. I'll be sure to invest in the securities before I pump them up to you guys.

Majestik Møøse Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Scratch offs are pretty underrated. They fit the definition of "buying low" and I figure big gains are right around the corner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baileynme Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm in SIRI and C but bought them both rather low. Most proud of SIRI going from under .50 to 3.35 today, definitely wouldn't buy it now as I think it's leveled off. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

GlassEmpty Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 goPro is about to have an IPO. Anyone have thoughts? Or know of any dates? Swhc, luv, F and AAL have all paid off pretty well recently.

mcbush Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I love their products personally, but IPOs are too wild a ride for me. I've always tended to agree with Buffett's suggestion that "it's almost a mathematical impossibility to imagine that, out of the thousands of things for sale on a given day, the most attractively priced is the one being sold by a knowledgeable seller (company insiders) to a less-knowledgeable buyer (investors)." Just out of curiosity, any particular reason you're looking for a specific share price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olevelo Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Pretty much everyone's mentioned what I would say. I jumped on Ford when it was about $1.20 and that's worked out well. I also made a play in Sirius when it was 8 cents...I already had a bit of money into from when it was $7-8, so figured I'd gamble and buy a couple hundred at super-penny prices, and that's also been a good gamble. Finally, silver is the way to go. My buddy tried to get me to buy into it about 12 years ago at $8/ounce but I had no money. Got in at about $12, and at one point it was up to $40. It's been pretty stable lately, but it's a pretty good long term investment. I just have the SLV ETF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disregard Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Bonds. Burrito Bonds. London high street fast food outlet Chilango, favored by City types with elastic waistbands, is offering an 8% coupon on a four-year corporate bond that gives some buyers a free burrito* every week for the lifetime of the debt. All you have to do is cough up £10,000 pounds ($16,800) and trust that it is as good at servicing its debt as it is at serving bankers their lunch. ... Burrito fans from across the U.K. have two months to invest money in the seven-year-old company. (Further details are here.) The minimum investment is £500, but for £10,000 the investor gets free lunch once a week. Coupons will be paid semi-annually and the principal amount will be reimbursed after four years. As a small token of appreciation, every investor gets a voucher for two free burritos upon subscribing. The first 100 also get invited to a Burrito launch party. There will be no secondary market trading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity, any particular reason you're looking for a specific share price? I'm torn because the loyalty that many people have with their product, and thats why I'm intrigued with the stock. Share price is on my mind just out of curiosity in max shares along with a public perception as the stock gets higher. I'd imagine more interest at $5/share vs $40. I personally think the stock will pop for a few days and then pull a facebook and lack profit for some time. I've never done the IPO thing and I've recently tried playing around with stocks. I was just curious to see others thoughts. Thats a great perspective from Buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
