Hmm......Crgq definetly broke out and the volume is going nuts now. I don't know anything about the company but if all the owners of this stock are spreading the word on the net she just might be ready to keep on rolling. lol I'm more of a value investor now although I always loved the technical analysis approach of reading charts back in the day. It would fun to track this one and see what happens. Good luck!

Depending on how many you own you might want to hedge yourelf and dollar cost average if you plan on staying in. Just my opinion. It's always nice to find some way to hedge your position whether it's dollar cost averaging, buying the competion, an option etc.

There are thousands of different approaches to investing in stocks but I'll share a little story of what worked for me. Wouldn't recommend it now but times were different then.


I use to trade stocks during the internet bubble buildup. Those were crazy days. I followed the market daily for years. Even a monkey could have made money buying IPO's then. It was a rush. Buying shares on opening day and watching them soar then dump them later that day or a couple days later. I would BS rookie stock brokers into thinking I was this high roller and they would give me IPO shares before they would open up on the market. Totally legal but they usually save those for the big dogs who had huge accounts with them.

I'd look idiot brokers who were hungry for business. Any experienced broker would save those shares for high dollar accounts but not the newbies. lmao While people were looking for the smartest broker they could find I was looking for the biggest fool I could find and it usually worked. They would spin off a nice blocks of shares to me which were almost guaranteed to fly high after the new .com company would go public. I'd use that money to buy more conservative stocks afterwards. I'd jerk the broker around for sometime while he would wait for me to buy this huge amount of stocks that he thought I would purchase thru him because he gave me a smoking deal on the IPO shares. Eventually they would cut me off the IPOs and I'd find another broker to give them to me. I'd simply close the account or just leave some crap in there and move on.

I had a pretty good system of timely info and would set my stop losses rather conservatively. If the IPO tanked I took my losses and would only lose a few bucks a share. If it took off I'd ride it out....sweat bullets and then pull the plug. Most of the time making great profits but never worried about leaving money on the table which I did all the time when the stock continued to climb.

Somehow I managed to never get in over my head and get too gready. I never bought into the fact that these companies could have P/E (price to earning ratio) of 1,000 and keep going up in value. Bottom line is some of the stocks were increasing by several hundred percent or more per year. Just not rational.

Historically since the great depression stocks have increased in value of something like 12.6%. I can't remember the exact % Anyhow I never forgot my old finance teacher from college who would drill that in our heads every day. I majored in finance and took every stock class I could at the time. Those old timers kept me grounded.

My gut said "Get out Meck". Remember what ole Mr. Moses taught you and I gave it up in time. Thank God. Cracks me up to this day that people credit Bill Clinton for the "Great Economy" we had in the 90's. It was a big inflated joke without any real substance.

Anyhow, I kept some blue chips but to be honest I don't mess with stocks very much anymore. Although I've been thinking about dollar cost averaging back into the market little by little lately but with interest rates as low as they are IMO real estate is the way to go. I got tired of paying ridiculous taxes on short term gains. Besides with real estate you can avoid the huge tax hits via 1031 tax deferred exchanges. With stock you have to pay the piper. I don't like paying uncle sam if I don't have to.

Real Estate is my game now and I can sleep at night and I don't have to watch CNBC every damn morning at the crack of dawn to see if a stock went up or down 10 points before the opening bell. I was seriously addicted. I would even watch foreign markets to try and determine how our market would react to news. It is actually possible to not sleep for 56 hours while you are day trading stocks.

It would be fun to bounce around some stock tips though 52. Nothing wrong with that. I tried this on another forum I belonged to but nobody seemed to be interested in stocks.

I believe the next internet wave is right infront of us but it will obviously have a gradual growth curve and investors will look for real value this time around. Atleast you think they would. Speculation is fun but risky.

Remember Kenny Rodgers song "You got to know when to hold em.....know when fold em......know when to walk away when the dealings done.....

What a great thread.

I dont do stocks but I find it fascinating and if I had even a little money to invest in this sort of thing I would.

[Sassy]

I agree. This is a great thread! :cheers:

I really wish I could get into the whole stock thing.

I'm into a few mutual funds via deferred comp thru work and that's about it.

Yes it is. I don't spend time watching those infomercials but it is possible to buy a home with zero down and make money. I've watched just about all those commercials once. I've helped many clients do just that. Now the term zero down is actually misleading. You aren't bringing money to the table per say but it does get added into the loan amount. Although there are ways to get the seller to pay your downpayment/closing costs. There is grant money. The list goes on and on to buy a house witthout your own cash coming out of your pocket. Beautiful thing about real estate is the ability to own it sell it and not pay capital gains like stocks.

It use to tear me up to pay taxes on stock gains. Especially when I was day trading them.

My niche is now real estate only. Stocks are a great way to make money also but what I've seen people do time and time again is they invest in stocks they don't understand. I prefer the Warren Buffet value investing style. I use to throw money all over the walls to see which stock would stick. Those days are gone.

The same could be said about real estate. You have to know the market you are dealing with.

If you are ever curious about the Denver real estate market drop me a pm or email me. I'm in the process of remodeling a home I just bought to convert to an office/ Broncos basement. It's right across the street from the house I live in. If you make it town next year you are welcome to stop by and check it out.

Infact I will have plenty of guest space for mane members traveling my way next season for a tailgate. It's going to be one big party all football season.

If you are a shorts, this is a good time to buy into Merck & Co.

For the longs, there are quite a few values in the semiconductor sector.

But don't kill me if the Merck doesn't do what you wanted!

That was when the stock was at 35. Its currently at 38 with after hours trading at 42. After hours going bonkers on BRCM I suspect that in the next few days it may very well jump above 45. They have a conference call to discuss a stronger outlook. Lets hope it happens...

If this bad boy hits 45 tomorrow, I'm setting a marker and cashing in. (crosses fingers)
