Those stocks all got crushed today thanks to Jeff sessions. SO it created a huge opportunity to buy in if you're in that camp that thinks they're here to stay. NOT RECOMMENDING! Just FYI. I grabbed some at 50%off.

Lewdog was telling me I should invest here the other day. I didn't. Now I will.

For you stock traders , I came across a really good website for stock charts.

www.barchart.com

Some of you may already know the site but I didn't . I like riding stocks with momentum and this site makes it easy to find them.

Register for free and it gives you access to lots of info.

Don’t let them send you emails. You’ll be bombarded by hucksters daily
[Reply]

Well, to register you have to give them your email just like any site but the charts and info on there seem to be fabulous. I know how to unsubscribe. This site will make me money. Have you used it ?
[Reply]

Just for futures charts. Their old setup was easier to use.

Anybody have any thoughts on GE. I'm thinking if it hits 13 I might take a hard look at it.

THey have the Airlplane motor division as well as the Healthcare division that are strong and if they spin off the rest of the trash parts of the company like their talking about then I can see huge opportunity.
[Reply]

Rumors of them breaking up the company. Gains to be made if they do. And they should.
[Reply]

I wouldn't touch GE with a 10 foot pole right now. I would maybe consider it (I won't personally) around $13, but more shit is about to hit the fan.

Is there possible upside after it bottoms out? Sure.
But that's a long term play, IMO, and a slow recovery when it happens. I wouldn't tie up a bunch of capital with GE.

Who has thoughts on index or mutual funds? Maybe an ETF?

I’m currently looking at Vanguard and want to set it up in the next few weeks since I’ve fucked around and waited all the way through my 20’s like a moron.
[Reply]

Any particular reason for Vanguard? ETF's are fine as long as whomever you are with reinvests your dividends at no cost. Otherwise find someone else, like Fidelity.

Personally I have a mix of index and active funds. Most with Fidelity...

Fidelity SP500 fund
Fidelity Midcap index fund
Fidelity OTC Portfolio
Fidelity Blue Chip Growth fund
Fidelity China fund
Fidelity Europe fund
Fidelity Pac Basin fund
Fidelity Total Bond Fund
Pimco Income Fund
Fidelity Capital & Income fund
Fidelity Select Software & IT Services fund
Fidelity MSCI Financials ETF
Fidelity MSCI Healthcare Index ETF
Spyder Sector Energy ETF

More information needed.

Do you have a work sponsored 401K? A Roth IRA?

Didn't do what through your 20's exactly?
[Reply]

I have a 401k and a Roth IRA. My employer uses Fidelity so I might look into those.
Company matches 6%, but as of about 6 months ago I moved it up to 8 to add more personally.

I have a Roth IRA with the standard company set up, that netted me 9% growth last year. I think I should have talked to a financial advisor 5 or so years ago and should have been putting more than 6% in for the last 7 years.

Ideally I would like to build compound interest and start it now. Just not sure which fund, ETF, etc would be best.
[Reply]

I need to research all of these. I think I’d like to get at least 2 of these.
