Stocks 2009

Post by Dave »

I recently bought some Walmart and Ford. Because I am dumb.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

Lame.. right after I buy some Ford, they issue a few more million shares, diluting the value down 20%. Good job dave, good job.

It should be ok in the long term. What I'm worried about is that since they're not going into bankruptcy, they might not be competitive in the long run.

You might've been better off buying a Ford car than their stock... They've gotta have pretty good deals going on these days.

My Intel stock has been in the red since 2000. Hey Jonathan, get off your ass and make some money.
I feel like I just beat a kitten to death... with a bag of puppies.

Jeez, I don't think there's any return to 2000 levels short of a new bubble.

Or about 80-100 years of inflation... Or world domination by Intel which isn't too likely judging from the silliness of their latest commercials.
