Let's talk about money - The Finance Thread

GE is really stable and they have pretty good gas turbine business and their vibration probes cost a small fortune. GE is like Wal-Mart in the sense that it’s a gigantic organization that sells everything. I’m not a big fan of their corporate culture, and I’m definitely not a big fan on how they handle their gas compression and motor businesses, but hey, if they make money, they make money. If you hang on to this stock for a 1.2 years or 2 (or longer if you want to), you could definitely make some money.

Thanks for the info Tekno. :tup: I’m thinking around Jan I’m gonna be grabbing stock from them to help charge up the wallet. They’re looking like the ones I’m wanting, but I’ll have to search others as well. On that note, This may also help others…

Must boost my money power until it is OVER 9000…Per month. :rofl: Who knows? Maybe sooner than later I’ll finally be able to buy the hidden base from which SRK can then establish the TRUE world order. :rofl: That would be funny though if a bunch of SRK’ers got together and started owning up wall street. That, I would definitely approve of. :tup:

I’m keeping an eye on Windows Phone gaining marketshare led by Nokia models, the possibility of Blackberry rebounding, Softbank’s investment in Sprint. That’s what I’m interested in, but I don’t know how that would translate into making an investment portfolio.

BP apparently also has really good dividends per share, or so it’s been told to me. Even though they have a lot of ups and downs with lawsuits and things that go boom, their stock is still really really stable, and just now jump from below 42 to 43.95.

I checked BP. It is looking good IMO. Might have to jump in it after checking more facts of course. Not sure of much else right now, but I’ll keep tuned and pass along any info that I think may be relevant. Speaking of which…

Since my Bitcoin thread got closed. What does everyone else think about Bitcoin? Essentially everyone’s right. bitcoin is just like any other currency. Here is a website for Bitcoin conversion rate:

Damn, in a matter of a day 1 Bitcoin is worth almost $700???

Bitcoin is interesting; its’ open-source and not owned by any banks or anything yet the value is going up like crazy and legit businesses are slowly accepting it. Reminds me of the Tulip mania during the golden age in Dutch back in 1600s for some reason.
I’ve read the main suspect of the The SilkRoad website’s assets is mostly in bitcoin format. Personally, I think there should be some regulation regarding bitcoin.

Now Bitcoin is really volatile. It’s increases and decreases between $500 and $700

I heard about bitcoins back in 2010… when I was broke and fussing over other stuff. I’m finally financially stable again when this blows up. Fuck.

Money is pointless. The money system is a total scam and form of mind control of the masses of zombie sheep.

as of today, I own stock in General Electric. Let this be the start of a money-making friendship.

The reason I posted this link is because I think this is a company for us to watch. Why? Read below…

The big three, plus others tried to sue the company out of business. They are that scared of what it is and what it does. Right now, the company is privately owned, but I’m sure that sooner or later they will be selling stock…Stock that will make people like us a great deal of money if we play our cards right. This Supreme Court thing is what will decide the future of Aereo. If the Courts rule in their favor again, it’s on. Me? I’m hoping like hell it comes to pass. Pretty tired of cable anyway. 500 channels and I usually either watch the computer or videogames. Keep your eyes on it my gentlemen. I will too.
