Do you invest contained by ETF? whick one is doing the best for you, the worst?
My best is SRS (it's kicking A%$S!) My worst is SPY( I'm so ready to put up for sale!) but my commission fees are expensive.Answers: Bought SRS a couple months back, also not long bought QID. And I have owned PBW and GLD for over a year; adjectives of these names own performed in good health. D
PHAU gold doing dutiful with more to come I construe...maybe another $100 previously profit time, I hang within on corrections. SLVR plenty of room in on the other hand as has COTN and AIGA which are both going to warmth up as food price inflation keeps going (I believe so anyway)
As for best and worst, Gold PHAU is best so far but own bene in in that longest. COTN is the weakest, up only 10c from buy point but I'm staying within there for sure, no thought of selling out of any of them all the same.
Any thoughts on what other ETFs might explode in 2008?
Starbucks and citigroup stocks grill.?
i bought stock for citigroup $29.20 and starbucks $20.86 . their price went down after i bought it . i bought it contained by late december. so anybody conjecture that price will go up soon. i construe staruck will go up cuz their ceo be reently changed.Answers: sbux will be a grower for a while, people would similar to to see what happens near the new CEO, stick near them, they have be down so much lately that now everyone will see a latest head at the company as a worthy thing,, Sure need he would shut down some of these stores, they got track too many... C is not done but,, we won't see a bottom on this stock till 23-24,, these pains are going to last 6months at least possible,,, need some worthy stock picking ideas, or merely keep up next to market report,, try out www.thewallstreethunter.com
I would definitely sit on those stocks for a while.. They're patently going to be going up.. Hell, I still see new Starbucks human being built consistently.. Hang on that for a couple years and it will possibly double...
And with their unmarked CEO, they could be improving alot..
No buy, trade or hold recommendations.
If to be precise the ONLY reason why you bought the stock, possibly you're right.
Money can be earned when a stock's price go down.
I KNOW if I bought C or SBUX, I would buy short or I would buy Puts or a few other strategies I use and am learning.
At the present time, neither company meet my trading rules for any of my strategies - not even as a virtual trade, a "paper trade" or a pretend trade.
Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoy answering it!

Yes, that is my authentic last describe!
SBUX is up, I don't think it's a long permanent status play, the time to buy that one is 5 years ago.
C is a joke, they are rumored here and ther to be technically insolvent.
You could provide and take your losses, or buy puts, but the puts will be steep on C.
I muse SBUX will stabilize from here on.
I think C is a problem stock but they are so big the governnment will not consent to them fail.
I would not buy more stocks for a while.
C is a extremely risky investment. They have a life-size portion of their money coming from credit cards which I don't like. The pretext why I don't like credit cards is plentiful people are doing adjectives they can to save their homes from foreclosure including maxing out their credit cards. So I am guessing that credit cards might be the subsequent problem to arise. That is just my belief though, right or wrong but at least I will still own my money.
The other thing that scare me away is the dividend. I wonder how many bought the stock for the dignified dividend? Maybe a lot. So if they cut their dividend after that can scare everyone into thinking that the company is contained by a ton of trouble so a big selloff might happen.
I am not clich¨¦ that you should sell C. It will close much lower I am guessing and I infer they are in worse trouble than most lend companies but they are so huge that they will make it through. It of late might take you a long time to rest your losses. I will say though that I am watching C.
No view on SBUX, but the CEO change be definitely positive.
C is trading almost at its intrinsic expediency right now. The biggest risk near C is the recent change within leadership and how conservative he will be going forward.
Also, the bank industry is in a rough patch right immediately and its profits will not be at historical levels for at lowest a year or two.
My opinion on C is that it's a hold for very soon. Personally, I am buying WFC all the bearing down. BMO and Bank of Ireland are also catching my eye, but I haven't moved on those yet. The management is much better there. It's a great time to be buying financials though!
What is the best way to limit your loss on short trading?
Answers: Instead of shorting the actual stock itself, consider buying put options that are in the money and buy longer time period puts, six months or so; this will increase your time horizon and maximize your opinion as opposed to short term options that can expire before the stock moves on fundamentals, as opposed to a short term often influenced solely by market conditions. Thus, you can only lose the amount you paid for the puts and that is all.
Before getting into any trade, I do my homework/diligence about a company.
Among the rules I have are:
1] Before getting into the trade, the price must be confirmed. The price must come to me. I never "chase" the price.
2] If the trade goes against me - to my catastrophic loss price - I get out.
3] When the trade reaches my target price, I get out.
It ALL comes down to discipline.
