Stock Picking - Straight Gambling

[Tron]

Boner, I'm not a market guy so speak more elementary.

What does spiked to the downside mean?

If BTC hits $125-$150 I think I'm going to chuck $2K speculation at it.

We are using the Coinbase app. We like it.

Thoughts?

Just opened a "Direct Investing" account with TD. Will be looking forward to HOT stock tips from fellow Gamelivers.

Be careful! Watch out for the pump and dumps. Buy low, sell high...etc. etc.

Buy low, sell high.

Good tip. Ima need to write that one down.

lololol

I actually will not be buying individual stocks. My plan is very simple, will just be splitting my money between two index funds (both following the S&P 500), one in Canadian dollorz, the other in US dollorz. Hold for 5-10 years, buy fancy house, pay it off in 15-20 years, win at life.

Ideally the market will collaborate so we can buy in 5 years, if not, no biggie, we'll plug away for another 5.

All tax-free.

be careful of these so call pro financial planners, they can be spread beneath my wing/casper esque

 

[Matty]

We use(d) a fee-based one, not a glorified bank shill.

You should talk to Pucky's guy.

Hey Matty. My TFSA is up and active as of today... I am seriously considering buying some ATVI (probably not today) .

I'm just going through the web broker site now looking around.

 

[Matty]

Nice. Mine was activated last week. I bought into TDB902 and TDB908, no stocks yet.

Getting my bonus monies tonight, will add to both funds tomorrow.

EXCITING TIMES TO BE A GROWN-UP.

MrQ why do you like Activision so much?

 

[mrquincy]

I have been tracking EA games and Activision since 2011; EA games is up something like 214% since I started and Activision over 100%. I would buy EA but now at over 56/share it is a bit much for my small startup.

Electronic Arts Inc is lower today, dropping (U.S.)$0.18 or 0.31% to (U.S.)$57.37 after setting a new 52-week high. Over the last five days, shares have gained 1.07% and 22.02% year to date. Shares have outperformed the S&P 500 by 90.90% during the last year


Activision 3 yr chart.

You should just buy into TDB908 (Nasdaq 100). Both Activision and EA are in it.

No transaction fee so you can add as little as $100 every paycheck or something.

Index funds rock for small-time guys like us.

Gonna look at that Matty for sure.
I am going to take my time; I have virtually 0 experience with this stuff as I grew up poor. Only a couple guys I know dabble in the market.
