Too bad I wasn't alive when AT&T came out..I could have bought lots of shares and I'd be rolling in the dough now.

 

we bought ebay stock instead of google

 

just looked at the 2 year chart...nice buy!

 

my dad still kicks himself about not buying Qualcomm stock back before it had originally split, then split a bunch of times. Sure.. if he had gone with his instincts and bought it, he'd be a multi-millionaire, retired, and I'd be rocking a porsche 911, but you live and learn h:

 

thats a pretty nice buy if you bought it last year, which i am assuming you did.

 

And then get Luvs.

 

i first bought HANS October 04 but sold it too early because i was playing on borrowed funds.

jumped back in February 05 at $19 and been accumulating shares ever since. started with just 120 shares, held as many as 633 at one point. now holding 300 shares and plenty of cash, waiting for a pullback. i'm up about $13k just this month.

funny thing is i was temping at google during the ipo last summer. visitors could've mistaken our parking lot for an AMG dealership.

here's why: stock prospecting is retarded. real investors know that dollar/cost averaging is the only reliable way to make money in the maket.

I have stock in BP Amaco, it's been doing well. I remember when it split when they merged with BP (british pertrolium) and while I had over a thousand shares the value went down. Now they have gone up quite a bit. I've bought 3 cars by selling a few shares. When I bought my Accord I walked in and gave the dealer $20k in cash, it was cool. I've put the rest of my future dividens into an IRA and they have estemated that I sould have over 1mil. by the time I'm 45 or so.
