Been thinking about getting into it for a couple of years, but I've decided lately that I will just focus on sports betting for now.

You can't really make any serious money in the stock market without some pretty hefty capital, unless you want to go super long like buy Microsoft in the 80's and selling in the mid-2000's.

And come to think of it, if I had the kind of capital to make some real dough on the market (read: $2 million+), I would probably just invest it with a hedge fund. A friend of mine's Dad ran several businesses and invested, I believe $1 million into a hedge fund and kept reinvesting with several different ones year after year, ran it to $5 million without too much trouble.

Dude,

FYI, there is an investing forum on therx...... You might get more serious responses there.

But, yes. I do invest. In the long run, the stock market has ALWAYS outpaced most other investments..... Good luck!

buy gold and silver stocks and bullion and you will do just fine...forget the fact that the minings stocks are all at 52 week highs or gold is at an alltime high...this is the infancy stage of a major gold/silver bull market...

that's the same thing the "experts" said about tech in '99, and you know how that played out.:ohno:

I don't play the market as in buying and selling daily. I have about six mutual funds in which I automatically invest in each month. I give them a set amount and they debit my bank account each month. If you are interested in the names of the mutual funds let me know and I will post them.

I also invest in the stock market via my 401K and Roth IRA's. I am a long term investor and not looking at any get rich quick schemes.

WCG- Wellcare Group. I believe it will be bought as the health insurance sector consolidates. Price today around $27. I would guess a buyout around $40..but do your own DD.

Cujo, I got into VZ last week. Hoping it does well. You got the F stock at a great price. You still holding it? I made a little bit off of F about 3 years ago....and got out. Glad I did, as it is (still) down from where I sold it.

Just read the entire thread.. its not too late to hop on board is it dont know too much about trading

I have been into this stock since my first post in that thread where I bought 500,000 shares at .0028.

Since then I have done hours and hours of DD on this company. My person opinion on this stock is that it will reach the lower pennies when the first biomass facility is up and running. After that, who knows where it will go or where it can go. This is a legitimate penny stock company and not a scam company like most penny stocks are.

I think everyone should get in with atleast a $500 investment or whatever they can afford to lose and see what happens in the long run.

We sure are having fun the last few weeks and I plan on retiring on this company before I am 37. Two years.

I think this one is worth an investment large or small from everyone. It is now one of my biggest holdings. Bought in at .0007 average. Closed today at .0046 with good things coming.

If I wanted to make a good sum of money on LLEG, was willing to wait a couple years for a nice return, and was willing to take at least some risk (obviously there are never any guarantees) how many shares should I be looking at purchasing at the current price?

I know a guy that got buried in the stock market. He has to rent out his big house for 4 dimes a month and then he rents a small apartment to live at for about a dime. I think its a big hassle but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. He's an old guy too around 70 but still in good shape. If I was him I'd just sell the house and buy something smaller.
