I have so much to learn....

If I were going to make a bet on a tech play in my own account for the next few years, I would look at the people who make 3d printers. Maybe one of the bigger names in that space.

Just IMO, but I would only watch aapl and not buy into it for now. I don't see them going below 350, but I don't know if they can get back to 450-550 range. The competition has caught up to them (as far as products & popularity) and AAPL is stuck on their old ways. Yes they still sell a ton of products, but they need to start investing some of that 100 billion in cash they have. New products, new product lines, new tech. Re-releasing same products in prettier packaging with a few updated specs can only go so far. Some analyst suggested that AAPL can get into the M&A business. They technically can afford to buy just about anybody. I want to see Tim Cook take some risks.

I like Chucks advice on small and mid cap growth.

Exactly. You can't bank on the Apple hipsters forever. Us regular folks buy one iphone every couple of years when we get a credit for a new phone. Maybe one Ipad total. I bought the biggest Ipod they made, and I won't buy another unless it breaks. They need to buy some of their suppliers and streamline their supply chain. Pump up their margins that way. Then you can bring some jobs back to the US, eat the cost increase since you just increased your profit margin and ride the wave of positive PR.

I have some 4400 shares and took a hit the past 2 days because of the bipartisan bill to break Fannie & Freddie and replace with a private entity that would eat the losses in a 5 year time frame. I am fine holding the shares and taking a gamble on it (though I would prefer not losing any money).

There seems to be some challenge building against breaking up Fannie & Freddie as they are starting to generate serious profits + seeing the way Congress works, those guys can't get anything done so a lot can happen for the best or for the worst. We'll see.

What about TESLA these past few weeks.

I dont have any shares but I have them on my watchlist.

A month ago it was $60!

NickTurnon · 07-10-2013, 01:39 PM

Theres a stock that shot up today called NEON.

Went from 6 to 7.60 today. Wish i had gotten in on that. Keep an eye on it though...

All I have to say to that is buy low, sell high. Right now it's at its 52 week high. It's on my watch list too. Interesting to see what their long term sustained growth plan is.

Right now the only way they seem to be generating revenue is selling carbon credits. I don't see them becoming a volume automaker until they've got a mid-priced vehicle and city infrastructure will support a large amount of EVs. It'll be a few years at the very least.

NickTurnon · 07-10-2013, 05:09 PM

I bought TSLA on the first.. only 3 shares though. Just leftover money in the account. Sold out after I made a couple bucks. Went from 112 to 122 in a day or two.

jburke26 · 08-08-2013, 11:53 AM

Lost my *** in this stuff last year and just gave up for a while. Luckily i didn't sell any of my shares and things are looking up now. Anyone got any tips? Hot stocks?

TSLA has gone up $40 in about 2 weeks. If you have the cash for it

Chuck33079 · 08-08-2013, 12:24 PM

TSLA also just got downgraded to neutral by one of the analysts since it's pretty much hit its price target. Also, their "profit" this quarter would have been a loss if they used GAAP accounting like the rest of the damn world. There should be a pullback. Buy it then.

NickTurnon · 08-08-2013, 12:33 PM

Finally sold out the rest of my FNMA & FMCC because of the Obama stuff - Still made double to triple what I put in. Cant complain about that
