Thoughts on Stock LF? (Leap Frog, Toys and Games.)?
Looking at buying my daughter some Leap Frog stock, was wondering what others thought of this company currently?Appears close to amazingly low, and they seem to be losing some money but alot of analists hold them as a strong buy?
Thoughts?
Answers: They are expecting smaller year over year losses on slightly better revenues, their products have be on the market for several years and the stock have been relatively a laggard for tons years:

I would avoid the stock; if you are considering investing in a toymaker, Hasbro looks a bit more competence and stable:

This stock has gone down for yesteryear 4 years. It just broke through support too. I regard as you would do better shorting this stock.
This is a cool website that can each you seriously about trading.
First I hold to tell you that you are on the right direction thinking on your daughter's adjectives and investing today! Hope more parents think close to you in this regard.
LF is a "Buy", but do it on blocks. It may go up subsequent Monday and Tuesday but will come down again. If I would be interested in that stock (which I am not) will buy it at $4.75 sometime contained by the next 10 days.
If you are buying it for your daughter, I hold to assume that it is an investment. This LF stock right now is simply for trade it is not an investment.
If you want to invest in that sector, look for stocks beside better dividend returns.
Good Luck!
I just lost about $9,500 in Legg Mason Value Fund in the last 2 weeks. Any suggestions?
Answers: Stay put!!
Buy more in fact when the "bottom" hits the market.
Since it's impossible to predict the bottom, make three "buys" to even out the "averages".
I'm not a broker, so I can't give you any specific advices except, I know it's not the time to "bail out"
Buy low and sell high. And most of all do not panic.
I feel ya-- I lost over ten grand in the last week.
Ughhghghghgh
I feel kind of sick.
I won't tell you "what" to do, but I will help you to decide on your own what to do.
First, take a look at what happened to the stock market during the 2001-2003 recession: http://www.financialsense.com/editorials...
Then, take a look at a 10 year or 15 year chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P. You can find these on yahoo, for example.
These charts are good "guidelines" as to what to expect in a recession.
Next time use this simple trick, a 50 day moving average and the S&P-500:
http://finance.yahoo.com/charts#chart6:s...
When the 50 day is over the S&P-500 go to cash when it is under load up on your best mutual funds. Give it a few days beathing room to minimize whipsawing. We tested this method on the DOW all way back to 1929. It works.The S&P works a little better in the last 20 years.
If the fund;
Fits in well with your well thought out "asset allocation"
If performing equal to or less than it's peers (in going down).
Has had a good long term history.
You should do nothing.
BTW: $9500 loss means nothing without knowing your full balance. You may also want to check for a dividend distribution, this would mean lower share value. but, more shares added.
You should never make any investment without an exit plan. That will stop you from making a move because of fear during the bad times.
Read some books on Mutual Fund Investing. More knowledge will help you get through the bad times.
yeah, stay with it.the professionals will want to get all of your money.it's a ponzi scheme and your the guy holding the empty bag.
peace.
Buy! Unless you will be needing the money in the next 5 or so years.
A static number of $9,500 is not enough info to give us. What percentage was this of your entire portfolio? If you have only $50,000 then it obviously is a larger loss than if you had $500,000.
