Topic: For Doggy and you stockowners

[JMM]

As you know, I started investing in the stock market last year. I sold my CACS shares for stop loss, big mistake as it climbed to 18 (I bought at 11 something) then it is now around 12 again.

Leda wanted me to invest part of her savings. I bought generic pharm stocks. ELAB on 11/26/03 at 50.56 and is now 61.36, a 20.8 percent growth rate.

IPXL on 1/6/04 at 16.86 and is now 21.56, a 26.8 percent growth rate.

Dogmatix, if I was not a disabled vet and had studied brokering and worked on your team when you were a front line manager, would I have been doing normal for my customers or outstanding? I'm just curious, and don't worry, do not be afraid to tell me I did a piss poor job with Leda's money.

Every broker wins some and loses some, JM.  I'd think you would have stood a good chance of succeeding as a broker just because your personable and committed when you set your mind on something.


The best advice I can give any broker (assuming they aren't the cowboy type), is to treat other people's money as you would have others treat your money.  Getting good at stock analysis and picking more winners than you do loser is just something that take a little time and dedication.

I'll probably never be able to work full time again Dog, most people already know from VA I'm living on borrowed time (aren't we all?). I accept it though as I did my job that I was supposed to do for our country, I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time and higher ups blew stuff up they should have examined first, the vets from my area around K-town are dying off at TEN times the normal death rate for veterans, and we are the young ones!  

I was just curious if I was up to par had all this not happened and I wanted to study and be a broker.

Thanks for the reply.

Friends always,
