***Tripster's 2008 Investments (Ongoing thread)***

[big pimp]

Well, that can be difficult to say. If you are talking long-term as in 10 to 15 years from now, then its a matter of being able to see where technology and the world we live in is going in that time frame. The companies who are able to exploit what consumers will need/want 10-15 years from now will prove to be good long-term investments.

So think about what you were doing in the 1993-1998 timeframe. What was "in style", what were people doing for recreation? What were consumers buying for Christmas? Who were the companies selling those items? Now look at the financial performance of those companies since that time. Substantial investments in companies like Microsoft, RIMM, Google 10 years ago would make you very rich today.

Its a matter of principal (having some money to invest), patience (keeping that money invested), prophesy (seeing what will happen in the future based on what has happened in the past). Now i'm not talking "fortune-telling" when I talk of prophesy, I'm merely saying, as a consumer, you have most of the knowledge necessary to figure out what the world is coming to from a needs/wants perspective.

For example, I happen to think that in 10 years, because of rising fuel costs, traffic issues, and its effect on productivity, people won't be driving to work like they do today. Most people will be "home-based". So companies who can exploit that need early and make it easy for these individuals to work from home will do well 10-15 years from now. Well, what do you need when you work from home? High speed access at a low price, Video conferencing hardware/software, bio-security for document verification, etc. etc.

I also happen to believe that RFID implants will have become more acceptable to the public, especially in dealing with illegal immigration, terrorism and crime issues. If the U.S. made it manditory in order to become a "legal" citizen in the United States that those individuals most receive a "veri-chip", you better believe that they would. I want to be invested in the company that got the federal contract to provide those RFID chips. My bet is with a company called Digital Angel (DIGA). They are sitting at 61 cents a share right now. I'll have about 100,000 shares of that company within the next 4 years. When that stock hits $100 a share in about 10 years, that's $10 Million. Now that's what I call long-term!

Anyway, my point is, no one has a crystal ball. Long-term investments in solid companies with good business prospects now and in the future are always a good investment. I still kick myself about RIMM because I SAW how cool those "2way" devices were when the stock was $2 a share back in 1999 and never budged. Not letting that happen again.

Let's get it.

THANKS THAT WAS HELPFUL

China Natural Gas Announces Acquisition of Two New CNG Filling Stations and One Compressor Station
Thursday January 24, 4:01 pm ET

NEW YORK, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Natural Gas, Inc.

Another article stating how with Apple's recent drop in value its now a good time to pick up some shares:

Apple at $135: Low Hanging Fruit
posted on: January 25, 2008 | about stocks: AAPL
Print Email

Apple Inc. has enjoyed being a cornerstone of the bull market of recent history. Between July 2006 and the end of 2007, AAPL shares experienced dramatic and impressive price appreciation from about $50 to nearly $200. However, as is true of the market in general, 2008 has not been kind to Apple. At present, Apple is trading just above $130, an almost 35% drop in just over 3 weeks. This selloff has brought Apple shares back into an attractive enough level that it is now on Ockham’s buy list.

Apple shares were headed down from their lofty levels before the Macworld conference on January 15th in San Francisco. The annual Macworld event showcases Apple’s newest products for the marketplace to salivate over. However, this year lacked the kind of epic product that makes investors swoon, unlike last year which saw the introduction of the iPhone. Steve Jobs, Apples’ charismatic, visionary leader has not been resting on his laurels, and the ultrathin MacBook Air was introduced weighing just 3 pounds. It was also announced that Apple looks to take a share of the movie rental business, a service that will be available via the iTunes interface and capable to watch on an iPod as well as TV or computer. Apple also announced updates that will improve already existing iPods, iPhones, and Apple TV which should make these products even more desirable.

However, without the eye-popping headliner that the iPhone was last year, the devoted fan base was not impressed, and neither were investors as the stock continued to drop in an admittedly weak environment. Then on Wednesday AAPL provide earnings guidance that fell below estimates and this initiated another sell off. Even though the revenue target predicted growth of 29% it was still considered well below what Wall St. expected. It is clear to us that analyst estimates were way out of line with reality. It seems illogical, but Apple has set the bar so high, that if they don’t unveil the sexiest product on the market every year then their Macworld showing is deemed a failure.

There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the future of Apple Inc. For starters, the stock is almost 35% cheaper than it was a month ago. Furthermore, Apple has developed a multifaceted entertainment and functionality based empire. iPods have revolutionized the music industry and almost single-handedly pushed the industry into a digital age. And they still control over 70% of the market for digital music players. iPhone is on the same path in the rapidly growing smart-phone arena, and Apple expects to meet sales goals of 10 million units by year end 2008. The Apple OS Leopard is selling quite well and is considered by many to be superior to rival Vista.

To sum it up, Apple has the products that consumers want, and as seen with the newest software updates, they are constantly striving to improve. They have developed a large, growing, and devoted customer base, many of which own several of Apple products. The company, under the leadership of Jobs, is integrating products to do more for the consumer. Jobs will continue to lead, innovate, integrate, and challenge AAPL’s competitors to live up to its products, and he shows no signs of slowing down. The recent sell-off exposes estimates that were not realistic, but AAPL is now an attractive candidate for those looking for a smart buy.

Now that is some crazy shit! How are they able to do this? Some how they gotta make $$$ off the trades.

I just opened my Bank of America account. That way I can see all my asets with one login and can transfer money back and forth easily. If you have just a regular checking account with BoA you can make $10 trades.

With peer to peer file sharing going legal the next growth industry may be music sharing programs. Time to start checking that. Oh here is the parent company for the Qtrax program mentioned in the article:

BLLN.PK - Brilliant Technologies

From today, feel free to download another 25 million songs - legally
Zune
Adam Sherwin, Media Correspondent, in Cannes

After a decade fighting to stop illegal file-sharing, the music industry will give fans today what they have always wanted: an unlimited supply of free and legal songs.

With CD sales in free fall and legal downloads yet to fill the gap, the music industry has reluctantly embraced the file-sharing technology that threatened to destroy it. Qtrax, a digital service announced today, promises a catalogue of more than 25 million songs that users can download to keep, free and with no limit on the number of tracks.

The service has been endorsed by the very same record companies - including EMI, Universal Music and Warner Music – that have chased file-sharers through the courts in a doomed attempt to prevent piracy. The gamble is that fans will put up with a limited amount of advertising around the Qtrax website’s jukebox in return for authorised use of almost every song available.

The service will use the “peer-to-peer” network, which contains not just hit songs but rarities and live tracks from the world’s leading artists.

Nor is a lack of compatibility with the iPod player expected to put fans off. Apple is unlikely to allow tracks downloaded from its rival to be compatible with iPods, but, while the iPod is the most popular music player, it has not succeeded in dominating the market: sales of the iPod account for 50 million out of 130 million total digital player sales. Qtrax has also spoken of an “iPod solution”, to be announced in April.

Qtrax files contain Digital Rights Management software, allowing the company to see how many times a song has been downloaded and played. Artists, record companies and publishers will be paid in proportion to the popularity of their music, while also taking a cut of advertising revenues.

The Qtrax team, which spent five years working on the system, promised a “game-changing” intervention in the declining recorded music market when the service was presented at the Midem music industry convention in Cannes.

The singer James Blunt gave Qtrax a cautious welcome. “I’m amazed that we now accept that people steal music,” he said. “I was taught not to steal sweets from a sweet shop. But I want to learn how this service works, given the condition the music industry is in.”

Qtrax, a subsidiary of Brilliant Technologies Corporation, has raised $30 million (£15 million) to set up the service, which is available in the US and Europe from today. Allan Klepfisz, president of Qtrax, said: “Customers now expect music to be free but they do not want to use illegal sites. We believe this . . . has the support of the music industry and allows artists to get paid.”

Ford, McDonald’s and Microsoft are among the advertisers signed up to support what is thought to be the world’s largest legal music store. The service says that adverts will be nonintrusive and will not appear each time a song is played. As with iTunes, customers will have to download Qtrax software. They will own the songs permanently but will be encouraged to “dock” their player with the store every 30 days so it can gather information on which songs have been played.

Jean-Bernard Levy, chief executive of Vivendi Universal, said the crisis in the music industry had been overstated despite EMI’s radical cost-cutting. He said: “Look at Universal – we have double-digit profit margins. But we would like strong competition from the other major record companies to help the industry grow.” Universal has poached the Rolling Stones from EMI and Mr Levy said that others could follow as thousands of staff and artists are made redundant.

On the appearance of Qtrax, Mr Levy gave warning that the lack of compatibility between competing digital music players was as big a problem as file-sharing. And Paul McGuinness, the manager of U2, said that the sound quality of MP3 downloads was becoming an issue for bands and fans. “There is a growing consumer revolt against online audio quality,” he said.

Yeah it didn't do too well today. Still it might be worth following for about the next 2 weeks to see what happens. However I'm not as hyped about it as i was earlier this morning. Found out that Qtrax won't allow you to burn your music onto a CD. I think that might turn off a lot of people.

 

[Darrkman]

I think people should start looking at Sprint. They are hurting right now and I think they will be taken over by someone. My guess would be Google since Google wants to get into the cell phone business. Right now they're at 9.38 a share.

They're at a hold but I don't think they're going to drop any lower. I still think they are ripe for a takeover, its hard to ignore 54 million subscribers.


$9.97 +0.59 (6.29%)

A takeover looks not so likely since they still have to work out a lot of kinks in their network (integration with Nextel & relocating spectrum to 900Mhz).

I don't know. Google might consider then as a way to bring the Google Phone to life with built in subscribers. However, i will admit thats a longshot.

I've been daytrading the daylights out of Baidu (BIDU). Bought another 100 shares at around 2:30 this afternoon at 277. That's after shorting yesterday at 291. Tomorrow is a little shaky, especially if the FED doesn't cut .50, if they cut .25 run for the hills.

Again, I have to say this, I DO NOT recommend daytrading unless you are experienced, and can afford to risk some cash. Let's see how we do tomorrow with BIDU. I'll let you know.

Also, I hope some of you took my advice and jumped on Garman (GRMN) when it was $65, up another 5% today to 71. Going to 100, get on the train.

Let's get it!

Bought BIDU last week, took a 2K hit in 2 days and sold them shits.......


Still holding on to POT which is a bargain.

Sold my GRMN position couple of weeks ago.

Ah man, kaya, don't take them losses dude. You know BIDU's going to bounce back, but I understand. It tends to trade in a channel of 240-330. If it doesn't break that pattern, I'm good. But if it gets below 240, you have to think then. They have announce earnings on 2/13, so that should be interesting.

I've been daytrading the daylights out of Baidu (BIDU). Bought another 100 shares at around 2:30 this afternoon at 277. That's after shorting yesterday at 291. Tomorrow is a little shaky, especially if the FED doesn't cut .50, if they cut .25 run for the hills.

Again, I have to say this, I DO NOT recommend daytrading unless you are experienced, and can afford to risk some cash. Let's see how we do tomorrow with BIDU. I'll let you know.

Also, I hope some of you took my advice and jumped on Garman (GRMN) when it was $65, up another 5% today to 71. Going to 100, get on the train.

Let's get it!

When the fed news come, Im just gonna trade on the momentum of the market with these 2 first solar & bidu with a basket tomorrow. Also based on the market volatility, we can safely say that the US stocks market is in bear market now. There maybe a short term dead cat bounce up sessions, but it will be met with resistances until the situation changes. Just short the high flyers on bad news & and don't go long on any strong momentum stocks now. Keep your cash at bay. It maybe needed when some good news comes.
