FB gains faded a lil bit.

RAD for a bounce play?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I still haven't funded my actual account. Got a tda set up though where I earn 7% compounded annually through work so not really in a rush to refund my account lol.

 

[zunigrp]

I'm a person with zero experience about a thousand to play with.

Where do I start? Is this moderately challenging thing to pick up? Wouldn't mind reading a few books before starting.

Is it "easier" to buy stocks to invest long term or short?

I'm a complete novice.

 

[noskey]

Start on page 1.
Yes.
Both and neither. Buy an index fund.

As in guaranteed 7%? I'd just throw everything in that and call it a day.

Yeah. Gets deducted from my check. Currently only take 7% out cause I have grad school fees taken out which is basically another 7% of my income. Max I can put innis 30% though but I'm gonna try to raise it yearly by a few percent. Good thing about teaching in the DOE is the guaranteed yearly pay increases.

So I guess $SNAP is officially a thing now

Looks like they lost $514M last year. This the new TWTR?

View media item 2320691

 

[johnnyredstorm]

For sure. Watch them merge in a year.

 

[noskey]

Who's gonna buy the merged company? Yahoo?

 

[sylvestermcgrizzly]

[suavamente]

SNAP the new TWTR... 

*grabs popcorn*

 

[penny1folarin]

SNAP WAITED TOO LONG SMH 

 

[Chopper]

Going to add to my AMZN position on this down tick.

 

[noskey]

Anyone in for Disney earnings today?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

ESPN would concern me if I was a holder. But I love it on a pullback.

 

[bruce negro]

I think SNAP will be fine. If they raise $4 billion they'll have significant leeway to continue scaling the platform.

For sure. Watch them merge in a year.

I wouldn't count on it. Too early to speak on it (and I wouldn't put any money I'd miss on it) but I think they'll do fine. Snapchat will be an essential component of mobile advertising campaign budgets if they can continue to stimulate user growth. Not saying they're going to be successful in five years time, but t's just too early to count them out at this point and the growth in mobile advertising is a strong headwind. Would love to see some monthly metrics though.

 

[slighted]

I'm loving the YELP slide

 

[capital sb]

Going to start coming in here more. What's up guys.

For the people in AMD long since the $2.xx, what made you go long at that point?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

My guess is the fact that it's cheap. People love cheap stocks that once had a name.
