ParticipantJosh or anyone else please chime in, when it hits 6k or 5k or 4k, is any of it a signal to buy? Ignoring the dow and the s&p per se, is there a date or a circumstance that you see a moderate term (1-5 years) stock play that is a value. As hammered as some stocks are, picking up something for 10 cents on the dollar (albeit that dollar was an inflated value) as a deal.
Like many people, I have my investments spread around in different areas and in different accounts, but I have one that is my pure gambling fund. The 401k, the cash reserves, the canned food, the ammo, the water, all that is covered. I’ve got 5 or 6k in the gambling fund that I thought I might play with on etrade. Just realize that this money, if lost isn’t going to prevent me from eating, the gambling fund is reserved for vegas, strip clubs, golf weekends, you know, things I can and probably should live without. Success with stocks out of the gambling fund will just finance more debauchery but play along wont you. Assuming 5 different 1k purchases, what are your thoughts on these stocks: Harley Davidson, GE, Ford, Costco, Phillip Morris, and Hovnanian.
Which one would you drop from the list?
I know they are all in the crapper, some may not survive the year. If a single one returns to glory it would cover the other 4 (with the exception of costco and PM, they are only down by half, the others are small fractions of their previous value). Harley and GE have P/E’s of like 3, costco actually had higher sales recently yet has gotten beaten up just because it is a traded stock, cigarettes in foriegn countries, winner, winner, chicken dinner. I think ford may make it, their new hybrids look impressive, maybe they will understand just in time. I think hovnanian homes as a penny stock is worth a look. While I don’t own a harley, their brand loyalty amongst their customers is unparalleled, it’s like a cult, they literally will stop being friends with someone for purchasing another brand, I just don’t see them vanishing from the planet in my lifetime.
So there are my bottom feeder picks, they are all in the crapper right now and going lower every day, fast. At dow 6000, dow 4000, or whatever, what do you think of these gambles? Let’s just say that the country doesn’t end up a nuclear wasteland, some companies will survive on the other side, any ideas on which ones and no safe plays, keep the gambling fund ideals in mind.

Participantjmrobbie, there are some perfectly good reasons they are closing those schools. They required the builders to build the schools before the houses, both wolf creek and morgan built an elementary school recently. Both developments slowed or stopped building so the school is only half full. Also, the demographics are slightly changing as a result of the foreclosures, many families with lots of little kids are being replaced by older people with older kids or semi retirees with kids on their own and people without kids. Redhawk and Jackson are older schools and the surrounding neighborhoods are 10-20 years old, so there are fewer elementary school aged kids, they are keeping the other three open. The 30k people that live south of the 79 dont really need 5 elementary schools in a three mile radius right now. They get credit for planning ahead and for making the devlopers pay the tab, but things changed as did the demographics of the new arrivals, there are a lot more people like dharma making their way here.

ParticipantSorry dharma, I don’t do conspiracy theories, I reference them to appease Aecitia. I know there are many things hidden from the public for various reasons but it is usually for a simple reasons like sex, politics, money, the usual stuff. Ignorance is bliss, I want to keep my mental vision of aliens as old school Captain Kirk as possible, that was the hot alien chick heyday and I’d prefer to keep my dreams confined to just those early episodes. Even if aliens showed up, i wouldn’t trust them anyway, I’ve see the twilight zone “to serve mankind” episode too many times. “It’s a cookbook” still ranks amongst my top 10 favorite quotes of all time.
We don’t have UFo sightings here for the same reason all the streetlights are yellow. Look South, Mr. Hubble built a very large and very active observatory on that mountain to the south, you can see it and it can see you. Nothing in the sky you see isn’t seen and recorded by Palomar. It’s like standing next to the referee in basketball, you can’t pretend you were fouled when the ref is standing right there.

Here is the apology from the commander and about halfway through it confirms that low lying clouds in winter cause the noise to travel further.
In 20 years here I’ve noticed it only a handful of times. I’ve probably heard the 4th of july fireworks more often.
Now you want a consiracy theory, read this one about an unexplained boom in s.d. a few years ago.
