MaStA's Account Talk

I remember when MCD was trading at $21 - now that was a difficult purchase but an excellent one. Keep you eye on the future.

Will do. I'm trying to get good solid and stable stocks with dividends for my roth. Hopefully I pick good ones.

Futures are way up right now due to the Spain aid deal...let's hope this carries over into the market tomorrow

Added to my Roth IRA with some shares of JNJ for the long haul. Three analysts upgraded the stock, it pays a dividend, and it seems to be a stable company that will suit my Roth IRA well. What I'm considering next is KO, MO, T, and WMT or TGT. I may run out of cash in the Roth IRA to buy decent positions in those...but I will eventually buy into them as I continue to add $5,000 a year.

There's my update on my Roth. I'm still holding the S Fund on my TSP, but I'm really considering exiting today on a positive day...but it seems almost like things are beginning to stabalize. There is more talk on cnbc about the fed's helping out, but at this point I don't know if it would do much for the stock market.

I went out today to 50G/50F. Locked in my -9% on the year, but I think I will sell the rallies and buy the dips for now. Like you said.....exit on a positive day! :nuts:

Good Luck!!!

Thanks! I haven't decided whether I will be staying in or getting out. Hmm...I probably should get the heck out lol. I still have both IFT's for the month so I can get back in later on.

I'm going to ride out the weekend in the S fund...screw it. The more I mess with it to try making the right moves the more I go negative it seems. I'm going to guess we will have a strong rally in the near future. (or I can hope at least haha)

 

[ILoveTDs]

Best of Luck MaStA.

 

[MaStA]

Another day like today and I will be out of my negative hole...I can't wait to be positive again even if it is .01% lol

 

[ILoveTDs]

I wish the best of luck to you MaStA. Hopefully tomorrow can be one of those rare days were everyone makes money.

Yeah...I know my Roth IRA has been making a little cash. It only has three stock positions, but a little adds up I guess.

 

[ILoveTDs]

Making money is better then losing money

Agreed. I'm trying to figure out what my next buy will be in my roth...so many choices in my wishlist lol.

 

[MaStA]

That's AWESOME!! Congrats. In the AF, is that considered a SNCO? How many years now?

MSgt (E-7) is where the SNCO ranks start in the Air Force. I have been in 8.5 years now which may sound like a long time to make E-6 in branches like the Army and maybe Marines, but I am well below the average for making it in the Air Force. Average time in service for making E-6 is 10.58 years. Thank you for the congrats guys!

 

[berline]

Pure awesomeness! I don't think 8.5 years is that long at all. In the Marine Corps (depends on MOS), I think the average is closer to 9-10 like you mentioned for the Air Force. You're on your way to MSgt around the 12/13 year mark.
