Welcome to StkyTreat

[jiesen]

I just wanted to welcome our newest member StkyTreat to the forum- I invited him over from the BRKA board. He's apparently a high school kid who's just inherited 2 shares of BRKA from his granddad and so he now wants to learn something about investing. Please everyone, make him feel welcome here!

I was about to say... 2 shares? But then saw the value of the stock LOL

Welcome

Stkytreat:

Welcome to the Big Leagues! Congrats on the shares, too. Some careful investing will turn those 2 shares into many more shares. There are a lot of people on this board who will be a help to you. Please feel free to ask questions and to post whatever you have to share with us.

Welcome...Hey, Can I get a loan?

Now, here's some advice...Sell your 2 shs of BRK-A and buy 180,000,000 shares of QBID.pk...You know, one time I tried to place an order online for 5,000,000 shs at .0001 sh...only 500 bux...But when I pressed Buy Confirm it said internet trades not allowed on this stock...Call your local branch to place your order...Well, I was too lazy to do that...A few months later it was pushing 2 cents..But now it is back where it started.

But I'm just joking about you buying it...But, seriously...You may want to diversify a bit...Best...Doug(IIC)

Hang on to those shares for dear life. If you want to play with the investing borrow a few thousand, maybe $5000 or so, against them just to get started.

If he sells those shares he'll burn through that money like Grant thru Atlanta.
It'll be a new car, clothes, babes, and stocks. Hey that doesn't sound to bad at that.

Well...If I was him...I'd drop out outta high school...take the 180 grand and day trade all the stocks on IIC's Killer Watch Lists every day...And be a Billionaire just about the time my friends were graduating from college...Of course, that's just what I would do...IIC

Ski,
Grant never went to Atlanta. Really.

Sherman did go to Atlanta, but not exactly in a hurry. The campaign took months.

So where is this kid?....

My advice in Eleven (11) simple steps.... You're what?.... 18?....19?

(step 1) Leave the freakin shares ALONE!!!!.... pretend like they don't exist AT ALL!!!!

(step 2) Get a job, work hard, become an asset to your company (or your customers.... if you happen to go in business for yourself).

(step 3) Save your money.... and NEVER, EVER buy a "new" vehicle.lol

(step 4) Once you've saved $10k open an online brokerage account (marginable) You should be 20 yrs old by now. Play the POTW each week.hehe

(step 5) invest in a stock that you have done much research on.... ask the fellas here what they think about your pick and your entry timing. Become a student of the market. Don't buy stocks on a "tip".... Again!!! do very thourough research on your own.

(step 6) Continue to work very hard and save your money.... fortify your brokerage account. Diversfy your holdings. You should be 23 years old now.

(step 7) realize your losses are simply "tuition".... paid to the stock market school of hard knocks. Every good education will cost you money. Learn from your mistakes and live by a set of strict trading rules.

(step Learn to sit in cash from time to time and wait for an "opportunity".... By now you should be making some money in the market.... You are now 25 years old.... Continue to trade hard and smart.

(step 9) Turn 30 years old.... NOW you can remember you have the BRK-A shares dude, do with them as you see fit, by now you won't need advice from us.... Plus by now your brain will have started to solidify.lol

(step 10) You are now 43 years old.... You are a fine, responsible husband and father, You own Real Estate, Your holdings are vast and you have invested wisely.... You are thinking and planning about what wealth you might leave YOUR children and grand children some day....

(step 11) Then you go out one afternoon and just buy (with cash) a "bran-stinkin-new" John Deere 6420 4x4 Cab tractor with Heat and Air Conditioning.... and a front end loader.... OR a HUUUUGE BLACK, fat, shiney Harley Davidson Road King with so much chrome it'll blind you if the sun hits it right.... OR BOTH!!!!.... Why would you do THAT after all these years of self restraint?.... 'cause you just freakin wanted to!!!!.... Now EnJOY!!!!.... je...je...je

I would have given you a twelve (12) step program dude.... but that sounds too much like AA....

Was it Grant thru Richmond and Sherman thru Atlanta. Or have I just exposed my lack of historical knowledge.
