Stocks and investments

[walrus]

I love talking stocks and funds and other investments. My first purchase was proctor and gamble when it really sunk back when I was 20 or so. It was a shot in the dark for me as I knew nothing about stocks at the time. I still have it, it has more than doubled and split since I got it.

They say amateurs like myself shouldn't do individual stocks. They suggest mutual funds as individual stocks expose yourself to much more risk. I have made much more than I lost. I suppose people lie about that but I'm being honest.


In one stock I lost one thousand dollars which is everthing I put into it. The frickin company just went into the air.

My mutual funds have also been doing great, the past couple years they have been doing eight to 12 percent except my biotech which at one point was making 60 percent. But you should see it now, frickin thing tanked

Anyway I'm not trying to brag but I'd love ❤️ to stocks with anyone

Dudes, when I bought that proctor gamble the thought crossed my mind of buying Apple. I think it was when jobs was coming back. Had I picked Apple instead I could probably have hundreds of thousands. Damn u can't think about that

Yeah it was good. That's alright I know a lot of people aren't interested in the market but u leave your money in the bank and u make ..0000000002percent. It's hard to build a nest egg with that. It is fucked up, no one can predict the market and at anytime my cash in the market could take a major hit. If you have so much in the market it keeps you up with worry u have too much in

I have Aviva and Axa shares which are middle of the road safe shares but the return is alot better than if they were in a bank.

Yes master that's what I mean. Not familiar with those companies. I assume they are English. I will look them up. Do they pay a dividend? I have a few that do so every quarter you get a check. It's not a lot, I don't have enough shares but it's nice getting a check four times a year just cause you have the stock.

No just the stock rises and it stays in there. No dividends.
