I remember when I first meet Robert, apple was at 145 or so and he always teased me (he was a pc guy) how stupid I was to keep buying it, when ever I had extra money I bought more, rest is history. Even now at 500 it is a bargain (earning ratio + future products in the making). I'm still a believer and like here the bashers always make the most noise.
I'm a believer in banks now (like BAC, has pulled back and a buy) as our economy regroups and then expands again. Banks have gotton all the bad loans off the books and I think will double in the next two years.
Recently I've owned netflix (if it can gets its subscriber base to start to expand again, it could be the next 1000 stock) and I also think google and amazon are save bets (they are not afraid to take chances and grow).
But remember ...
1.) only invest what you can safely live without
2.) follow your instincts and stay with them (I shorted bby and took small profit before they collapsed last week)
3.) dont be greedy
4.) don't listen to anyone on this board
Oh, Robert is now a mac guy:classic:
I always remember many years ago Crammers 4 horseman of tech and I made a ton by listening over the years. appel, google, amazon and ???? The last I never owned in a long position, instinct --- anyone know what the fourth stock was he recommended ??? ji ji ji
