Stock Market & Retirement Planning

Im still fairly shocked that F is not trading closer to $18 right now.

It's been flat for quite awhile now. I think Escort sakes have disappointed, Taurus is floundering and that Lincoln still hasn't found its way despite some success with the mks.

Mulally's upcoming retirement isn't helping. I'm still holding, hoping for a successful 2015 F-150 to pull things up. It's aluminum construction and 700lb weight loss could be a game changer in a crucial segment. Hoping.

I still like ALXN. My planner is high in caterpillar. Thinks the best way to participate in China and emerging markets right now is to invest in companies that will benefit from development there instead of in companies based their...CAT is his current favorite.

Depends when you bought it too. It was barely over $15 with in the last month and now at $16.00. Not a huge jump, but a jump nonetheless.
The small car trend has done very well in Europe for them and the Fusion seems to be doing very well here based on my readings. MK line for Lincoln appeared to start slow, but recent marketing seems to be solid and an uptick.
It leaves and dies on the Fusion and F series trucks in my opinion and the next launches will tell us if its heading there.
 
Man what a nice little day today.
F with the nice jump.
Berkshire with a big jump.
Lots of good stuff and the
 
I bought F at $1.40 during the bailouts. Been holding it since, but I don't think it has moved much for quite awhile. 52-week high of about $18, but that was short-lived.

Lincoln is likely irrelevant given the importance of the F-150, so holding to see how that does. I may sell before Mulally's retirement expecting a short-term decline, then may buy back in. We'll see. Still the best of auto stocks I think and such an important industry to be healthy. It needs another vehicle other than Fusion to be a home run.

Yes, my 350* shares of Berkshire Hathaway earned me a nice $1.1 M today. Another couple days like this and I can afford those Apex irons I have been eyeballing. :confused2:'






*or zero.

Watching WFM closely over the next few days. If it drops to below $45, I am jumping in.
 
A friend and co-worker's son is getting into financial planning. He invited a few of us friends to his house to hear a presentation from the son. There is less than zero chance I'm putting money in the son's hands (good guy but as I've known him before the new career, never...think the commercial about the DJ fronting as an financial planner). I absolutely do not want to sit through the presentation but at the same time feel awkward saying no to the friend/co-worker who literally sits next to me at the office. Ugh.

Definitely awkward but like you I'd never have friends or family handing my money and my future that's for sure.
 
Give him a hundred bucks and tell him he has six weeks to turn it into a million.

Good golf buddie sells life insurance for ny life. I also knew him before this job and it's almost like he has been brainwashed now HW want to sell annuities and whole life and all kinds of other stuff that he dosnt know anything about. After about a month and a half of hearing his "great ideas to make me rich", I had to let him know that he wasn't going to see any of my $ anytime soon. He acted a little butt hurt and the trounced me on the course as usual. That was several months ago and all seems to be good now. Very awkward at first to say the least.

Yup.
And wednesday is a big call.
Im actively watching 3 things right now and waiting for a small drop to jump on them.
 
Sort of a wild day for me. CERN and DAL helped cover for DIS, ELY and F losses.

Wed will set the next month for me. Still eyeing a few but have not pulled anything as of yet.
 
Looking forward to Wednesday as well.

That looks awesome. We did a bunch of work for a large hedge fund that moved to Tampa. Their setup was so cool. I don't pretend to know what's going on, but I know it is fun.

I jumped in yesterday with my cat stock. I am looking pretty today with it being up a $1.24. #RetirementIsGettingCloser #fingersCrossedItholds
 
So time to buy Microsoft....

Mark Fields is pretty much the dead lock to take over for Mulally at Ford. Under Mulally Ford is has grown over seas huge and I think he has left them in good posistion. That being said it is highly highly rumored that Mulally is going to Microsoft as the CEO. I think Microsoft will stay pretty flat but if he takes over all that man does is fix companies. He will go down as one of the GOATs in that game.

I have been reading about that since September. Holding out on a jump by F in the next couple of days and then I am out. Bought MSFT in the $37 range. I know he has been at the top of their search for quite some time. Is their recent grumblings that its coming soon? Last I heard was January when he said he was not heading there.
 
I don't get Microsoft. Everything they have done recently seems to have been a huge failure (mobile, Win8, Slate) but they keep raking in cash.

Talking with my buddies that work in the industry the rumors are strong. At $40 I feel like its a safe play even if he doesnt end up there and I wont loose my shirt over it worse case. I think I wont be till end of year/1q next year. But that stock jumps if he goes and if he continues to fix like he has I think they could double. I am really looking at pulling all my F and going here. Really going to put some research in the next few days.
