Pull up a 20 year chart and look what happens anytime you put money in at 1300 level on S&P. Oil is at an irrational emotional high over Iran. It goes higher if we go to war with Iran.

Date: February 3rd, 2012 12:59 PM Author: smoky deranged stain casino i think we do. at the least israel goes for their nuke facilities by the summer.
i believe in peak oil and i think the oil business will only go up, or at the least, will be the best situated industry if everything else goes to shit. i know a world recession or depression = low demand, but someone's still going to being buying that shit even when banks and businesses are toppling. i'm not looking to get rich off this, just want somewhere to park my money where i think it's safe and will get a decent return or won't get wiped out if everything goes to shit. |

Date: February 3rd, 2012 1:42 PM Author: smoky deranged stain casino ugh. man i don't know. it seems like there are no guarantees in the investing world. gold seems too high, bonds don't pay shit. no way to know when a dip is coming or if it's just a dip or a sign of something worse.
IPI looks like it got nailed in '08 like everything else, but ending subsidies isn't going to help it move back up.
i think the only thing that replaces oil and gas is fusion, and i don't see that within 10 years. |

|
Date: February 3rd, 2012 2:31 PM Author: smoky deranged stain casino pbr looks like a great pick.
looks like dvn is mainly exploration. given that it's at 3/4 the price of the big 6, why take the risk?
what's up with colombia?
how much growth can mcd's really have? aren't they already all up in the BRICs? they're probably a safe bet cause they thrive in down times, but 100 a share is pretty steep.
also, god damn looking at these charts makes me wish i had money in 08/09. |
|
Date: February 3rd, 2012 2:51 PM Author: sable milk garrison I actually purchased these companies in late 2008, with the exception of MCD. MCD actually does have some substantial opportunities abroad, esp. w/r/t China, where they are opening something like 1 restaurant per day for the next several years. Its just a solid long term pick. They are run well and they adapt well, great dividend and a great hedge to U.S. volatility since a majority of their profits now come from outside the U.S. As for GXG, Colombia is a sleeper pick and oft overshadowed by the rampant—albeit justified—rhetoric fawning over Brazil. The govt. is starting to get a handle on the drug cartels (lots of room for improvement still) and tourism is slowly being restored. Govt's been investing substantially in education, infrastructure, etc. and FDI has increased at a healthy rate. Relationship w/ US is key and improving. I've lost a little on PBR over the past couple years, but its a long term hold/buy imo. Brazil is still working out the kinks in how to effectively operate a largely state-run corp, but they are learning. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1864256&forum_id=2#19888501) |

Date: February 3rd, 2012 3:03 PM Author: smoky deranged stain casino so when should i take the plunge? i feel like with the euro crisis and iran on the table i should hold off and wait for the next dip.
also, it's only 5k so taking losses on my first go around wouldn't be the end of the world. i'm looking to put in 5-10k per year for the next 10 years. |
|
Date: February 3rd, 2012 3:09 PM Author: sable milk garrison Really depends on how you want to game it. Are you geared for the long haul? If you're under 30, I'd say there isn't necessarily a bad time to get in, because time is on your side. You won't give a damn about early losses 20-30 years from now. I think a lot of ppl make the mistake of waiting for a dip, and they miss out on opportunities. If this is the case and you're a long term investor, I'd say you're ok getting in now. I went in heavy in late 2008 and have done only minor buying since, mostly selling off NFLX monster gains to purchase INTC and more GXG/PBR. I wouldn't necessarily evaluate the market as a whole and attempt to estimate its direction, but look at individual companies whose direction may be independent from the larger economic tide. What stocks are you looking at in particular? what sectors? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1864256&forum_id=2#19888630) |
|
Date: February 3rd, 2012 3:12 PM Author: smoky deranged stain casino see above. 10 year plan. buy and hold. don't touch it unless they are going under. my original plan was put it all in oil and gas. 25% indies/exploration (thinking AXAS, HERO), 25% in VLO, 50% in XOM and COP. definitely making room for PBR though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1864256&forum_id=2#19888661) |
|
Date: February 3rd, 2012 3:21 PM Author: sable milk garrison credited strategy, bro. Personally, I like CVX as an oil stalwart more than XOM and COP, mainly because they are going a little further with alt. exploration than their competitors, but i doubt it'll make much difference which you choose.
Edit: An alt. play to MCD is DNKN. Its still way too hot, but its ceiling is high, especially in India. |
|
Date: February 3rd, 2012 3:31 PM Author: smoky deranged stain casino i think i'm gonna wait till summer and see if iran or greece blows up. it would be nice to get another august like dip, and i don't imagine prices will go up dramatically till then.
but then if iran blows up all the stocks i'm looking at will probably jump.
damnit this is frustrating! |
|
Date: February 3rd, 2012 3:42 PM Author: exhilarant church No its hard to predict how they react. Oil prices jump? Okay they may make more profit short term, but eventually rising oil prices kill demand so... Buying in summer is usually a good strategy for someone looking to hang on long term. Sell in May worked pretty well last year. If you bought in August then... (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1864256&forum_id=2#19888904) |
