2017 Profit & Pain stock thread

The company AAXN makes the best quality body cameras for police, military and security firms. They make a shit ton of cameras, and other high tech shit that watches you when you don't know you're being watched. If it ever becomes mandatory for cops to record all interactions, this is the company to look into. It makes the best shit and is only around $20 a share right now.

I'm currently studying how to trade. I've been reading Investor's Business Daily as well as studying stock charts and stock patterns from various sources.
One of the things that I've noticed is "Financial" stocks are rising, after being beat up for the past several years. I would say, take a look at companies that are engaged with war (machinery/weapons etc...) and pharmaceuticals.

Whatever you do though, do not neglect to take a look at the S&P 500 to gauge where the market is.

If anyone is interested, I would love to come to the board and share/bounce trading ideas of each other. I've joined a FaceBook community called "Bullish Bears" last week. They trade stocks, options etc... on the daily and intra day as well.

You can learn about how much the company earned. How many locations, employees, etc. always read the news about a CEO getting hired or fired, recalls, lawsuits, mergers, etc. I usually spend a day reading up on a stock. Sometimes it's gone up and I missed the rally, other times it tanked and I'm glad I hesitated.

You're going to lose some money. Key is to invest in companies that ain't going anywhere, and quickly trade companies with a less than stellar track record.
 
It is my strong belief that retail is gonna reverse from high end back to basics. The Macy's, Nordstrom and others JCP, are all closing stores by the hundreds. That's leaving a ton of rental space in malls. So if these stores close, the excess inventory has to go somewhere.

That's where the discount store comes in. Burlington coat factory, Ross and TjMaxx will all benefit. I think if stores exit malls, the anchor space will be cheaper and Burlington and Tjmaxx will rent on the cheap and have space in the surviving malls.

Highend stores will have to go to online sales or occupy low-rent strip malls spaces.
 
Restaurants are dead flat or dying
Do you ever eat a Joe's Crab Shack. Ruby Tuesdays. Luby's. Brio. Ruth Chris. Famous Daves. Papa murphys pizza.

Are any of these where you live?
 
The company with the most annoying commercials are businesses you look to invest in. If you hate their catch phrase or can't get that stupid song out of your head, that's where you do your research.
 
Fox News stock is actually up a small amount on the firings. The old heads need to go to groom the new young racists. It's $30 today. Bet it hits $40 by summer.
 
I haven't been able to invest into my 401k as much as I've wanted to, but I want to get it together starting this year. All the tips are appreciated.
 
Starbucks is affordable right now. So Is Nike. The others are way out of my range and I don't do options. Not versed enough on them yet.


1 share at $500 with 10% increase = profit of $50

100 shares at $5 with a 10% increase = profit of $0.50 * 100 = $50


forget the share price and how much you could buy

the example about works out to the same math even with 1 share

focus on the % increase

AT&T....they match my contribution dollar for dollar. Currently I reinvest 50% back into the company. I need to diversify..
 
Anybpdy use the Robinhood app to trade? Free trades, no comission fee.
Several people I know use it. It works for simply stock buying. It's a little slow on the trigger on day trading. So if you just want to grab stocks you're going to hold, use it. If you're a person waiting for the perfect strike point to jump in or out, rumor is it costs your pennies or more due to lag in reaction time. Just what I hear.

Seems to be good to go. You do need to diversify it all your retirement is in one place. You should interview several financial advisors. Find out what their fees are to manage a portfolio, etc. some move you in and out of funds and say there is no big fee from them, but the fees the fund charges to enroll, they make money off that.

First tip would he to read up on diversifying. Watch YouTube videos, podocasts, join social media sites and just read and watch. You can also set up your own investment platforms on trade sites. Read as much as you can and keep asking questions here.
 
When trump goes down, gun and ammunition stocks are gonna soar. Hunting supplies, white fear, panic shit. Riots in the streets so police and other security related stocks could jump as well. Banks should be fine but take a small hit.

Anything healthcare is going to tank hard so if you buy stocks be ready to buy major companies for the cheap. Sadly, your 401k will be fucked for a while.

Company's that would have been affected by the import tax should take off. Airlines will sale because travel to the US will return. Hotel stocks, Disney, cruise lines. All should do well.

Defense stocks will plummet. Anything war related will be cheap.
 
What online retail sites do you use?
Do they have store fronts or only online?
What obscure habit, hobby do you have?
I switched my medication from Walgreens to express-scripts. Stock is $100.
Saw signs all around my doctors office and looked up all the companies on my phone. Quest Diagnostics does 70% of the testing of blood and other samples your doctor takes. Stock is $100.
I looked up who makes the medicines of the posters around his office that I don't take.
Leaving the parking garage I looked up the company that makes the automatic payment machines.
If anybody owns an electric car or has electric charging stations where you live or work, find out the name of the maker and post it here.

Interesting analysis. I wonder if I can move my 401k to a money market fund, sit and wait for the market to crash and buy back in on the cheap?

read up on 401k rollovers. I won't tell you what to do because I don't want to be responsible for losses or penalties.
However, when Trump goes down, stocks are gonna crash. If all your retirement is with the company you work for, it very well may tank.
Typically there aren't taxes or penalties as long as the money isn't converted to cash. Lateral moves like changing funds or types of retirement vehicles have a fee to enter the new fund. Usually a percentage of its value.
 
Last I checked....Ford Motor Conpany was $11 a share.
Yes. Has been for two years. If you like the stock wait for it dip below $8. It won't go out of business so I plan to buy shares on the low and just reinvest the dividend. Now if they drop the dividend for financial reasons, run.
