stocks

I've been checking out ali baba, the Chinese stock that recently went ipo. I've had some good fortune in the stock market but I have lost some as well. I stick to blue chips these days but I'm thinking of making some changes. Anyone have any inside info which although I realize is illegal to act on, I would do so regardless.

I have no inside knowledge but I believe the stock market to be a massive fraud. It's gibberish when it doubles under Obama but real incomes decline significantly. It sums it all up. It's a robbery, and the general public are getting fleeced. We are the Fed, we print money, there you go banks. And that's it. Nothing for the ordinary bloke.

I don't invest in the markets as I hate all corporations equally. They are not moral and the system is very corrupt. 0% interest rates because professionals couldn't do a decent moral job. That is banking and government. No morality.

Scania i would say its a safe bet, for long term! Really good bus/trucks and is worldwide, Australia is buying heaps of them! Victoria State using them as route busses and the other state will start with that too! Which means they need more busses, more to produce! They all over and they going strong!

I find stock market a dangerous business, I believe the rich people invetet it to suck a bit more money from the poor, is kinda like gambling.

I actually understand where you are coming from miles but I have had stocks go from thirty to ninety dollars overnight. To clarify, I am not rich but I do look for ways to increase my cash flow. Right now most of my stocks are safe picks like proctor and gamble which in ten years I never lost money on but these types of stocks have a slow climb up. I do think we might be heading for a correction but I am merely looking to make my future more comfortable, I don't expect to hit it big. I think we should all prepare for the future and stocks are one decent option to do so.

For a great investment i would look into accommodation, Houses, land, Buy and rent it out.
more people getting born then dying so that means the population will grow, and that will make it harder and harder to find a place to live. Depends on where you live i believe but where i'm at the prices been raising with over 100 % in the last 3 years!

I do have a second home which I rent out. I'm not making a lot of money on it right now as it still has a couple years left on the mortgage. The US recently had a real estate bubble. I don't know much about your countries financials but if you are seeing those types of gains you might be heading the same way. Right now is a good time for US real estate as prices are still bottomed out a bit.

Still a good invest tho! I had a apartment i rented out when i was younger, i forgot to declare it and pay tax on my profits! Got a HUGe amount of money i had to pay to the (government) police or whoever took it! sense then i haven't really been bothered getting anything, I will see if i can afford a property in Melbourne in a year or so!

You can live in paradise out here if you are prepared to travel into town for work. Farms on workable acres with ocean views are the same price as top inner city homes and our freeways are on the improve all the time. The city is fun to visit only and I like to be able to see whos coming so that suits me.

I'm not knocking for those that do well, but the markets are run by machines these days and even bad news can push them higher on a handout of free money from the Fed. It's just massive fraud and it should only be used if you regard it as an actual casino. To put pensions in such a place, for instance, is cataclysmic. I've never invested in the stock market and have no desire to do so. I believe in hard assets only.

A decent chicken stock is the basis of many a great recipe as are beef and fish stock to a lesser degree.

A few years ago your stock portfolio halved in value over the course of about a year. Due to the fucked up financial system we have now future massive busts are guaranteed to happen. Right now the market is at an all-time high. Maybe it would be a good idea to sell up at some point when you think the market has maxed out, stay holding cash and wait for the market to crash again, then buy the dip.

I know almost nothing about individual stocks but big brand firms like Proctor and Gamble are going to suffer massive attrition from generics and supermarket brands over the next decades due to income inequality forcing people to save money by buying the own-brand stuff.
