bangmai Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) If you had simply put 1000 in (MO) Altria in 1967, you would have close to 7 million, today. It even lost 1/3 of its value on a single day in 1999. Edited November 7, 2015 by bangmai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCruncher Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 If this and if that. If you had invested 100 million in Worldcom in 1998, then now you would have nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingTourist Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 But, when to sell? That is the challenge. Especially if you disregard the fundamentals of the companies you invest in, as is apparently quite normal among people who refer to themselves as investors. No wonder we get all these bubbles, just look at the Facebook thread, multiple people chiming in on how FB is a “strong buy” even though they are currently valued at over three hundred billion dollars and generate about one percentage of that in profit. Hopefully people investing in FB know how to setup a stop-loss order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asiantravel Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) If this and if that. If you had invested 100 million in Worldcom in 1998, then now you would have nothing. and if you had invested anything at all with Bernie Madoff or Jon Corzine you would have nothing and you would be highly embarrassed at being so stupid Edited November 13, 2015 by Asiantravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyf Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 IMF has recommended Yuan to be included in the SDR, board will meet on the 30th but it is unlikely they will go against the recommendation. http://www.imf.org/external/np/sec/pr/2015/pr15513.htm Interesting that the press statement came after the markets closed, see the reaction on Monday.

Ks45672 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 there was no recovery and next crash, say bye bye to your retirement. too many countries are totally broke. don't belive me? that's ok, one day your retirement money won't show up on your bank account. what will you do? I might sell some of my land, properties, shares, gold, bitcoins or raid my own bank accounts in other countries... It would be really foolish these days to keep "all" of your assets and wealth in a single institution imo... Or even in a single country The broader you can diversify the better got can guard against a total wipe out and many financial "experts" are saying its only a matter of time before the current system will implode...
