June 10, 201411 yr 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?
June 10, 201411 yr 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.
June 10, 201411 yr 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, 201411 yr by skytaco

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
June 10, 201411 yr 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.

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.
June 10, 201411 yr Scratch offs are pretty underrated. They fit the definition of "buying low" and I figure big gains are right around the corner.

June 11, 201411 yr 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!
June 12, 201411 yr 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. Looking for another avenue under $30/share Initial reports for GPRO are to expect around ~$24/share Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
June 12, 201411 yr 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?
June 12, 201411 yr https://stansberryresearch.com I decided to hire professional advice a few years back. Should've done it a lot sooner. Pays for itself many times over every year. I have a few others that I subscribe to if anyone is interested.
June 12, 201411 yr 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.

June 12, 201411 yr VTI DVY VB DGT IYLD IBND Total Expense Ratio (weighted for this current portfolio) is 0.26%.
June 12, 201411 yr 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 ($16,800) and trust that it is as good at servicing its debt as it is at serving bankers their lunch. ... Burrito fans from across the U.K. have two months to invest money in the seven-year-old company. (Further details are here.) The minimum investment is £500, but for £10,000 the investor gets free lunch once a week. Coupons will be paid semi-annually and the principal amount will be reimbursed after four years. As a small token of appreciation, every investor gets a voucher for two free burritos upon subscribing. The first 100 also get invited to a Burrito launch party. There will be no secondary market trading.
June 12, 201411 yr This looks like a scam....what kind of crystal ball shit are they selling you? That's what I thought initially too. Then I finally decided to ignore all the stupid ads and give it a try. Then I started making a lot of money. The SIA is the flagship newsletter and it's only about 100$ per year. There's some pretty insightful shit in there.
June 13, 201411 yr Bonds. Burrito Bonds. Sounds like a good deal...honestly. That's what I thought initially too. Then I finally decided to ignore all the stupid ads and give it a try. Then I started making a lot of money. The SIA is the flagship newsletter and it's only about 100$ per year. There's some pretty insightful shit in there. What kind of recommendations are they giving? Stocks/options/ETFs? Returns? The whole market has been pretty bullish the last couple years...

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.
