Honestly, I'd love to have a thread where we talked about stocks, investing etc. I would highly recommend that NOBODY uses it as investment advice however.

Invest into symbol WPKS.

Invest into symbol WPKS.

Forget WPKS, I still think WKRP is set for a rebound.

On a serious note, Citigroup has to be looking pretty good right now.

Not sure, i wanted to get me some C a few days ago, but I think they'll dip again.

tomorrow is 50/50 - we going to see a sell off of todays gains or another rally?  its so freaking unstable.

-----agree with TAINTS, please nobody base your 401k off this thread

lets get some system down, if mentioning a new fund or stock, state the name followed by the symbol.  For example:

Citigroup (C)

This thread is going to RULE

[The Dog]

my little brother is a genius - he said to get circuit city (CC) a few days ago.  I didn't.

check out their last 5 days.  I think they've had 30-40% growth.

Sick.

I don't think CC is good for the long term though.

Do you have to buy a minimum quantity when you want to buy oil ? I heard of a 1000 barrils as minimum, is it true ?

And what about Gold ?

But still, it's been up n' down for a while, and from what I've been hearing within our company, the stock is gonna rise sky high.

if you have a vested interest in a stock (like you work for the company) please supply full disclosure.  helps to know peoples positions on a stock when they are giving advice on it. 

Everyone should do his/her own research of course.

Well, if you've read some of our press releases that you can find online, that we're at the starting point of our deal in China (1). We're going into 210 hotels, and we get the whole second floor to do something like an entertainment center, but more so like a VIP poker room, we're also trying to work and get slot machines into the picture also.

Just last Saturday, we gave away another $10,000 direct buy in seat at the main event of the WSOP in Las Vegas, this hasn't been released yet, but some of our previous winners have been anounced (sp) (2). In April of 2007 we announced our launch into Amsterdam (3) with stores and our poker league being filmed and shown on Dutch TV, but of course, there was a couple set backs, but Marcel Luske is in good spirits about it, seeing as he is the one who bought the licence for the WPS European market.

Also, in June we signed 6 poker pros to our Advisory Board (4), Phil Hellmuth is one of the six, and was seen on the cover of Card Player magazine with our logo on his hat, coat and shirt(5). Here is a picture of him at the table with our coat(6).

And we're thinking of new ventures almost daily, recently we've been working with Bar owners in Rice Lake, Wisconsin to bring our Bar Poker League to them, and thusfar it's going good - we haven't started games there yet, but do run other games in the state of Wisconsin. Recently, a guy from Sweden was in our store, and was interested in opening two stores, one in Basil, and one in Zurich. He's been in contact, but I don't know if anyone has had time to meet with each other.

Oh keep in mind, I'm no one major to the company - I'm just one of store managers son. Who happens to have some stock. lol.

That brings up ethics to the table. I have chosen not to buy into some funds because they had holdings in Haliburton.

Anybody consider the companies, from an ethical standpoint when they buy into a fund?

i def do.  yes, i want to make money, but its not like i'm going to be rolling in it.  i'm not investing that much (yet). just getting my feet wet.  i believe its possible to make some cash and still stand by my convictions.  I wouldnt' want to give a dime to big oil, big pharm or anything related to Bush Co.

Soci?t? G?n?rale uncovers ?3.7bn fraud by rogue trader

A rogue trader has cost French bank Soci?t? G?n?rale ?4.9bn (?3.7bn) in the biggest fraud in financial history.

News of the fraud, which will virtually wipe out 2007 profits at France's second-largest bank, sent shockwaves through European markets, already battered by the escalating credit crisis.

Halliburton is not the only oil exploitant of the planet.

And yes, i will not buy anything Bettancourt close or far ( like Loreal) because they funded the Nazis.
