f1freak 0 #1 July 18, 2002 If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then traded in the cans at a redemption center for the nickel deposit, you would have $107.00. Given the current conditions of the economy, my advice is to drink heavily and recycle.HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moodyskydiver 0 #2 July 18, 2002 I'll keep that in mind. But then again, skydivers have never had a shortage of excuses to drink beer anyway. We can just add this one to the list.hehe "...just an earthbound misfit, I." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, I'm tired of hearing all their whining and shit. They never listen to me anyway. I will also forward your tip to my branch manager. "She" will love it! Yep, I can't wait till the market closes tomorrow. Because then I head to the playground, I mean dropzone! Assist with the h2o training and make beer money, then party without puking, not getting into a coma, and do 6 rounds of 4 way in the SSL. Do a couple of night jumps and watch the FNGs land out. And finally drink some badass homebrew!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #10 July 19, 2002 Now I'm going to have to watch that movie... I've seen it probably well over a dozen times and I still laugh at all the jokes.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mouth 0 #14 July 19, 2002 Shark....if you are anything like my broker....there isn't anything you could say to me right now that would make me happy. My problem was I listened to the PITA earlier so I bought JDSU at 13...now it is like at 3. You guys don't know any better than the rest of us. Might I suggest sticking to skydiving....it sounds like you have a much better plan there. Plus it is less dangerous than the market right now. Have a great weekend. Aren't you glad the market is closed on weekends????? Lisa -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #15 July 19, 2002 Lisa, you shoulda realized that when that person you gave your money to was called a BROKER! if they knew so much why would they have to work still?My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #16 July 19, 2002 DOH..... guess I fell for that one! Just know if I ever get out of that mess with some money I'm investing in something reliable.

mouth 0 #18 July 19, 2002 Dave...hon I was joking. I can't imagine owning a DZ would be much more productive than playing the market.

AggieDave 6 #19 July 19, 2002 (I know, I was playing along) You know how to make a small fortune owning a DZ? Start with a large one...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aren't you glad the market is closed on weekends????? Lisa Hi Lisa, We actually deal with the exercise of corporate stock options. We also discourage our clients from staying in "highly" concentrated positions. Read: their company stock. Those who did NOT listen found themselves losing their ass and subjected to margin calls. I personally like preservation of capital and have our "smarter" clients in municipal bond portfolios. Looks like your broker got you to chase the "hot dot" and it blew up. Like the say, the market is driven by fear and greed. Hope all turns around and will be better for everyone. It sucks to see people lose money and even worse when it is your own. And I am sticking to skydiving. I also enjoy jumping with and teaching students, but it doesn't pay that well, not that I'm doing it for the money. In fact, I use my own ticket and jump for free with them post "A" license. Yes, I am glad the market is closed on weekends. They should be open only 4 days a week.
