Stock tip

Quote from: Butchers Bill on January 20, 2006, 04:24:07 PMIn all fairness, that stock is up 11.55% since the IPO, but I doubt anyone here has the clout to get in on an IPO as an individual investor.

Sure they do, man (Why do you hate America???). You can just call up your broker and buy some shares.

Actually Dio, this is sort of where our ideas blend together. After being in the investment biz for almost 10 years now, I have seen the "common guy" get farged too many times.

Butcher's Bill is so out of touch with the 'common man' that he doesn't even know the commonly used term for the 'common man.'

You mean I couldn't just ring Winstead and direct him to lay ahold of a couple thousand shares? I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

Well, at least there's Ameritrade.com. Sure I can go there and take control over my financial well being, right!?!

He's right -- so far, if you bought and held from the beginning, you'd be about even (not counting inflation and all that crap)

i was considering investing in one of the satelite radio companies...after looking at both, i wisely decided against it entirely.

Butcher's Bill

His name is Joel. TollJoel if he's aggravating me. This silly new handle should be ignored.

You may want to take a step or two back...I can smell your boyfriends manhood on your breath.

I am specifically talking about IPO's and the abuses that go with them. Yes, you can go to Ameritrade and purchase shares in the secondary market (although Sharebuilder.com may be easier for "small" investors).

I can't get in on the ground floor? Why not? I've got $250 saved up to invest!! That's like 15 shares!! I got this great tip and I'm ready to join in the American dream. 20% over six months, just think of it! In 300 years, I'll have enough to buy a house!! You know, if the stock market doesn't crash, that is.

Nah, why don't we just liquidate the holdings (houses, securities, everything) of everyone in the US who makes more than you, and give you a house you didn't earn instead?

Share Builder will let you get in on IPO's for around $1500
