See, that's what you get for using shoddy fundamental analysis. Losers! But HOS is still doing fine...

Disposition effect actually does imply that a lot of investors lose money thanks to loss aversion. Not that its clear how to resolve this, and it definitely seems like active trading has paid off for some people itt.

I wish I had gotten in to HOS and TDW when Arkane announced it, but I held off and jumped in right when most everyone here was jumping out. I plan on holding long term and see where it goes.

I have around $15k in my brokerage fund after getting out from under a financial advisor. I've already maxed IRAs for 2014 and 2015 for both my wife and I. I'd like to put that $15k into something that will have a decent balance between risk and maintaining the principal so that if I need to buy a new car in the next two or three years (or more, hopefully) that would help with the cost. I'd rather keep with ETFs and as such VFICX looks fairly solid. My concern as a newbie - given the likelihood of interest rates going up within the next year or sooner, and VFICX's focus on bonds approaching maturity, would that put a hurt on the 2/3-year performance? Should I be looking at different factors in my research?

That is likely a question for the long term investing thread rather than the gamble zone thread.

I'm in for a little on GMLP. If you like the sound of the word "Solar", but your heart says "Gas", why not Golar? They were a slightly better deal yesterday, but I think they're a good deal at 10-20% higher than they're trading. Here's the quick shoddy: They do floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers. They've got a good base of long term contracts and ships, good growth prospects (I think the services they offer are going to be a good fit for a lot more odd places over the short to medium term), and I like their overall management direction (though the high dividend is kind of gibbly). jmzero fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Apr 15, 2015 |

I hate that HOS has run-up so quickly. My gut is telling me to take some profits on my +33% position, but I got into the stock looking for +50%. So gently caress it boys, posting here to hold myself accountable so I don't vag-out.

Etsy IPO started at $16 a share ($1.78B valuation), and instantly popped to $31. Peaked at over $35. Currently trading just below $30. How mad should ETSY be that its IPO was evidently underpriced by close to 100%? I assume the big traders who actually get to access IPO shares at the moment of opening trading are the ones who pocket $14 a share on this deal. Also, any opinions on Etsy? Is it really worth $4B?

playing the ipo game is suicide imo especially if u dont have access to the underwriting shares also if you are an investor who tends to sell at the first hint of a downtick that is 99% likely bc you are not doing enough of your own analysis. develop a system, stick to it in every situation. dont bet outside your system, refine the system if need be, but make it thorough and you will do better. its honestly very simple but ppl tend to do what the "next big thing" is and lose money bc of it. the less leg work goes into your own buys the quicker you will be to jump out. if you really liked tdw, and really thought it was going to hit at least 30 or whatever, you should have bought MORE during a down tick not sold immediately or w.e. and when you do have a system its also easier to not have the whole "oh shoot i missed out on this trade" mentality bc you get used to using it i think. for example i read this thread to help generate ideas and looked @ tdw at work, it didnt fit our metrics so it was scrapped pretty quickly and though it may make money i dont really care and am happy for the ppl that do make money on it.

I let half my position go when it was falling through 2.50. I feel I can gamble with the other half. I'm writing this a lesson to myself when this crashes and burns on Monday: There is no way they can present bad data at a big conference!
