I agree.
I have my 16 yr old daugther a Roth IRA. Whatever she makes from her job and invests, I match it.
I have been buying AEE for her. Of course we are looking at a very long term horizon. AEE yields about 8%

Good for you, but you cant contribute more than her gross wages. So for example she makes only 4000, the most that can be contributed to her account is that 4000.

I have Vista on my desktop and laptop, both work fine with msn stockquote.
Under tools, look for add ins and check the analysis toolpak, and see if it is listed.

She saves 25 to 50 % of her net which I match. She just works part time so the limits have not been a problem.....yet anyway.

Interesting stocks to watch on Monday-

Watch these:

Roch Holdings.... stock symbol RO.SW on Yahoo, is the maker of "TAMAFLU", an anti-flu treament.

GLAXO SMITH KLIEN, stock symbol GSK. Also maker of flu vacines.

With all the adverse publicity this weekend on "Swine Flu", I would say that Monday these stocks will both have significant gains.

Let's watch what happens.


Current Friday close prices:

RO.SW= $148.40

GSK= $29.34

Let's see how much that jumps on monday on the swine flu hysteria.

I wonder how many call options of those Pharma companies Goldman Sachs bought Last week. Think about it.

Leave the politics out of it as I'm as disgusted as everyone else over this disaster, but opportunity knocks.

What are your thoughts on BP? Current Dividend yield is 7.7% and the stock is down 30% from it's high. Question is, will they cut the dividend?

Morningstar.com (a great service) just lowered it's economic moat to 'Narrow' and lowered it's buy target to $29.

I have BP in my portfolio and I'm buying some today and will continue to buy. They are also I believe the second biggest nat gas producer. Plus I like the divvy. They are going thru a bad time right now, no doubt about that, but with the new CEO they hired, I believe last year, they have really started to turn things around. Accidents happen and there is not alot you can say about it or do.

As far as cutting their Divvy, who knows, but I haven't read or heard anything about that, but it is a concern of mine also, since I purchase 75% of my stocks in my portfolio are there for there Divvies. But I'm still buying, I'm going to bet that they won't cut, but they may not raise for a year or 2.

Good Luck,

New product offering-

Get this- CHEESE futures!

CHICAGO, May 5, 2010 – CME Group, the world’s leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, today announced the launch of Cheese futures and options on futures. The cash-settled contracts will be available on CME Globex®, the exchange’s electronic trading platform, with trading scheduled to begin on June 20, 2010, for trade date June 21. These contracts will be listed by and subject to the rules and regulations of CME.

“This contract was requested by our customers such as manufacturers and processors of cheese to better fit the needs of their risk profile,” said Tim Andriesen, CME Group Managing Director of Agricultural Commodities. “Many of these customers already participate in our Class III Milk and Dry Whey futures and options markets. The new Cheese contracts will enable them to directly lock in future prices for cheese.”

Cheese is made from Class III milk. Dry whey is a byproduct of processing the milk into cheese. Manufacturers, processors, food companies and others have used the Class III contract to meet their hedging needs since 1996 and the Dry Whey futures contract launched in 2007. The Cheese futures will complete the “dairy crush” with which the original commodity as well as its product and byproducts can be hedged.

The new contracts will be listed monthly with each contract representing the equivalent of 20,000 pounds of cheese and the tick size of $0.001 per pound. Trading hours are Sunday through Thursday, 5:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Chicago time, and Friday until 1:55 p.m., with daily trading halts from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information, please www.cmegroup.com/cheese.

Tesla Motors opening day IPO. Stock up 40%.

Symbol TSLA. Closed at $23.89, up 40.53%.


Note: I think it's going to tank relatively soon. It's a money loser, and although they've been selling cars for a few years, they have only delivered a total of around 1,000 cars. Nothing like doing mass production. If they can't make any money at $109,000 a car, it will be hard to see them make money at $50,000 a car. We'll see. I wish them well- but Ford stock may very well be the better long-term investment.

 

[James48843]

TSLA up more. Now at $29.47.

That's not right. Need to play the flip side now, and clean up. I'm thinking it's time to Short TSLA here.

Check out ENER at $4.24 and expect will going up to $5.50 - $6.00. I'm invest energy to replace oil spill (BP).

TSLA falling through the floor today. Now down to $19.64 and falling. Shorting is the right thing to do.

 

[tsptalk]

Nice James! I hope you were on board both ways.

 

[Bullitt]

Jeez, thanks for pointing that out. I know TSLA went up like a 2000 IPO, but look at it drop. I guess the ones selling are the ones who got free shares from the IPO party and were too stupid to unload at the open on day 1.

GFRE - Gulf Resources Inc

Good growth, good net profit, good returns. The company has exclusive rights to bromine fields in China, bromine being the majority of their revenue. Considering that the global markets as a whole are about to take a dive, I may hold out on this stock before I buy low for a potentially long position. Their quarterly is coming out soon and you bet I'll be keeping a close eye on them.

 

[SWAVET]

Out ENER two days ago at $5.50 & today is back down to $4.37. Try out FAS at $19.97.
