I just bought 2 MSFT. I'm so bullish on tech companies.

I think AMZN, MSFT, NFLX, and GOOG are solid bets that it'll beat the mark average of 5-7%.

Go get 'em boys.

Apple too. Next iPhone is supposed to be hot, and their stocks are depressed right now with the virus and all...

I"m talking 7-10 year time table btw. These giants aren't going anywher - Amazon's fine-tuned supply chain, and AWS; Microsoft with Windows/Office gone subscription model. They have Azure, and Xbox. Google is just going to become a super company.

All are highly overvalued aside from Amazon IMO. but hey, I'm not an expert

All I know is all the companies have boring shit that will fade over time.

Fast shipping of products for consumers and AWS for corporates = unbeatable that won't fade.

I need to buy 100 at a time with the site I'm with, so I tend to stick with the lower end stocks as I can't afford to buy 100 MSFT or any of the other big ones. I own something like 2,700 stocks in a new local mining company, so hoping that grows long term. I think it was at like 25k before but they did a combine or something a while back where 1000 stocks turned into 1 (I don't recall the amounts). I figure this could turn into a nice pay day one day if that mine really ramps up though. Right now they are kind of at a standstill due to not having a processing facility yet and they reached their max stock pile amount for the size of their property.

I'm doing better with my company ESPP, but that's a bit different since it's managed by the company and they contribute too. I have around 30k in there. The stock took a big dive with covid-19 and I kinda would not mind if it stayed like that for a year or so, because the way the ESPP works is it buys fractional units with a fixed amount of money. That means that right now I'm getting more units. So it will be a bigger return once it goes back up. Saving up to buy an off grid property and I'm getting closer to a point where I could buy one cash. Well not quite since there is a wait period to take out units so I would not be able to take out everything at once, but I could still pay a nice chunk.

On one hand I want to keep that money in there as long as I can, but on the other I feel like I should take it out when stock goes back up to put it in something safer. Back in the day the ESPP was Nortel stocks. That... did not work out too well for some people. :eek: I think the current stock is pretty solid though, and when they start deploying 5G and announcing about it, it will probably go up even more.

What online broker are you using? It's rare that an online broker doesn't allow you to buy a stock in odd lots in this day and age.

Virtual Brokers. There aren't really a lot of them in Canada. It was a royal pain getting setup too, tons of paperwork and stuff, so not about to change.

I bought 2 AMZN today. Very bullish due to thanks unstoppable supply-chain, bought Whole Foods, and the almighty AWS.

I'm generally not a fan of buying individual stocks at or near all time highs. I did pick up some JPM stock last week and AMD in March. Carnival might be fun if you have money to risk lighting on fire

So you bought 2 shares of MSFT? o_O And you're so bullish? I guess you're eating instant ramen for the next month with that huge purchase. Way to go all in!

Well, we can't all be ballers like ponyo, lighting their cigars with hundred dollar bills while driving their Tesla Model X P100D around town.

Hey... at least some of us held onto our TSLA stock instead of bailing out like a damn sissy :)

Out of those stocks, I would not be buying Netflix. They're about to have a streaming war with Disney+, Apple TV+, and HBO Max. Netflix has the lead now, but their competitors have deep pockets and can afford to give away their products for years to steal market share.

I always thought that Zeze was a crypto millionaire now. He went way more hard core into mining than most of us did. Maybe should have invested in a more stable cryptocurrency like Coolcoin, the official reward token of ATOT :)

I bought a scarf yesterday. I need to buy another so it can be 2 scarves. But the scarf I bought cost more than 2 MSFT. I'm bullish on scarves.

Who charges $400 for a scarf?? I want to know how I can get in on that price gouging racket.

Of course, I'm more into true high fashion, like t-shirts with cats and rainbows on them. If you earn 1,000 Coolcoin, I'll gladly buy ya one.
