ALL RIGHT! it's time to revive this thread!

don't you find the information too much to handle? like information overload? i prefer yahoo's cleaner approach

I'm a long term investor. I went in at 250. Seriously. The market gyrations do not affect me a bit. I'm more or less immune to it by now. My stop loss is at 240. The reason it is being battered down recently is because the market got ahead of reality. They expect too much from Google. So...

Come on guys. Face it. Goog is all you need. One company to rule them all.

OMG! Yahoo?

:D

There is no such thing as friends on wall street. If there is money to be made, those people on wall street will be your best friends. So as long as Google do well, these wall street personnel will fawn upon them

Oh no worries. I felt the full brunt of it.

All comments, bad and good, appreciated. My Portfolio ------------------------------- GOOG (100%) Ok. That's it.

Just a hunch, really. Cause' if you think about it, there seriously aren't many who can boast a > 10 year record of beating market returns. Whatever market inefficiency you exploit now will be resolved in the near future. Whatever profits you make with this inefficiency will turn into losses...

what i mean is that any returns exceeding the market return is just random luck. In the long run, the net return you get is equivalent to the market return. Consistently profitable traders may be profitable for a few years but in the long run, they are unlikely to beat the market. Which...

whatever $ you take from it today, you'll give it back sometime in the future. unless you're so lucky/smart that you quit trading after a lucky streak (peter lynch is an extreme eg).

wtf! 20% drop in 1 day. DUDE. you're either not diversifying enough or are carrying too much leverage

i say it's random. Any success you have now will be offset by failures in the future.

Has anyone tried it?
