Stock (Investment) thread

CPQ
MO
Bond Mutual Fund
Tech Mutual Fund

All are around the price I got them at save MO which went up like mad after Bush got elected (😉..l.) and Compaq's supposed to shoot up soon...so I don't think I'll be selling that for a bit
 
I have 6 mutual funds which i invest in and 2 Roth IRA's so far.

If you're really interested, you can always PM me and i can get you the fund info...i don't have it in front of me right now 🙂
 
i have air canada brought at 3.65
i have bell canada internation brought at 39cents
i have RRSP TSE60 index GIC stock fund
 
If you're not a professional investor, i suggest the following investment plan:

50% VFINX or VTSMX (large cap, low expense Vanguard Index funds. Your growth component).
50% DODGX (low expense, great performance. One of the best ever value funds).

Buy. Hold. Repeat.

A second vote for VFINX (S&P 500 index mutual fund). If you only have a little to invest your brokerage may have its own version with no transaction fee, but probably a higher yearly expense (at schwab their own SWPIX is "free" to buy vs. $35 to buy Vanguard). You might also be able to buy directly from vanguard.com ?

I have my cash in CDs and eTradeBank's savings account, and my "stocks" are all mutual funds: about 2/3 S&P500 (VFINX, SWPIX) and 1/3 "other" (JAWWX etc.).

The nice thing about mutual funds is that you can pretty much ignore them, and the S&P funds will over time do better than most stock traders. I'd rather use what free time I have reading a book or watching a movie than agonizing over some individual stock and when to buy or sell.
 
What about this one? Vanguard Total Stock Mkt Idx (VTI)

Damn shares are $103 ea, but that's all that sharebuilder.com offers... 🙁
