This thread is for general stock market discussion, including stuff such as

- What's looking good right now and why?

- What looks bad? (ok, pretty much everything at the moment)

- What're you holding, what're you getting rid of?

- Which brokerage do you use?

Always remember that chicken stock is better than any other stock

Macys has a good sale. And Bath and Body Works semi annual sale is coming up!

- What looks bad? (ok, pretty much everything at the moment)

Yeah, all the girls I talked to recently said the Black Friday sales sucked tremendously.

[sally]

PS: I'm kidding about Macys, I actually have no idea if they have a sale or not

[sixpakistan]

.. well, i wouldn't be buying stock in sally's sense of humor anytime soon.

Not based on any facts or stats..I'm guessing Google shares are worth buying...I mean its GOOGLE! how can anyone go wrong with Google?!

but then again..maybe they're already too high right now and so not worth buying..but who knows..they may go higher?

just my two cents of guess work

You share your opinion like this ethno/egocentric Memon male is actually going to take business advice from a girl

Way to be naive! You're better off posting a recipe for bateta chops in here

you know, some people return positive and favorable comments with reputation points. especially when they have unlimited repping power.

I suggest y'all make your way to threads where you may offer useful contributions, such as:

http://www.islamicaweb.com/forums/fo...l-hygiene.html

or possibly

http://www.islamicaweb.com/forums/fo...t-cooking.html

or maybe create a new 'crappy jokes' thread in the humor forum

thanks in advance

Our unlimited repping powers are down at the moment

Actually..they have been ever since the downfall Can someone bother azher to fix it, cause he won't listen!

[sixpakistan]

Uh huh.

So, ibnM.. Kadhim.. Anyone?

I use Ameritrade, btw. They're OK, except they send me too much snail mail.

[sally]

Business advice from a Shia taking precedence over a Sunni Memon girls? Nonsensical, I say.

JK I'm out of here..

Actually, Kadhim would probably come in here and say the stock market was haram (again). *sigh*

Actually I'm not working with any brokerages at the moment.

I still have an account at TradeFreedom but that was done only to facilitate FX trading via an experienced broker that I know of. His annualized net returns are 80% or higher, and that beats whatever stuff Wall Street can crow about most of the time, and he's a real tightwad, trades only at 1:2 or 1:3 ratios max - whereas I've heard of some [idiots] going as high as 1:400.

If I had the time, I might have done arbitrage and day-trading, but I don't have the time. Personally when I have enough money, I'll just go stick my money with a private hedge fund like Renaissance or somebody and pay them to manage it instead of doing it myself.

I really feel that trying to do it yourself on the side, while you're holding down a regular full time day job is nothing but speculation, and its too much of a risk, even if you're using purely 100% disposable income only.

Yeah, I agree, it can be somewhat of a risk - I like investing in companies that I think are performing well, though. It's paid off in the past - I do tend to only invest in companies that I "know" about, and I utilize reports from a private analyst. Other than that, most of my stock is issued shares or ESPP.

I'm considering a Muslim fund right now as well, but I want to hold off on that for a bit.
