RE:RE:RE:RE:Probably one of the most boring stocks I own.....downsideup wrote: good stuff, bandit. a couple of points though: I buy something to make me money, some I hold for long, others for short term, the point being making me moeny, never fall in love with anything. Also, I don't mind watching BNN as those pro looking money managers make me laugh, and once they recommend something I hold, i'm thinking of selling. They are too main stream, late into the game almost all the time.
yes everyone is different downsideup. I should clarify, when I said I've been here a long time, I meant on Stockhouse (since 2000) as a member investing during this entire time and still here...that's what I meant by my previous comment. I was also here under another username mid/late 90s but I can't remember why I changed....I might have forgot it at the time.
I used to say never fall in love too but I do...with financials. Never for the story, only for the business performance and ongoing operations. I do not trade or even want to sell after I buy something since it seems illogical to incur taxes and commissions for no reason especially when there is cashflow coming from dividends. Trading is good for every one except the investor doing the trading. Of course gov't, brokers, banks etc all want you to for obvious reasons. I'm also here only to make money but I don't care what the company is as long as it is a well oiled machine and the cash keeps coming.
meh.....seems to work.
cheers.
