Monk - International Man of Mystery...
Monk slapped!
With a PM from me!!!
Welcome to the board Pandaar!!!
I am new here too... GREAT people here!!!
Just figured out how to do the "PM" thing... (person mark)...so one at ya!
No!!!! Not yet!!!!
(I need my funds to clear at my brokerage first!!!)
I need mooooore!
Long story... I live in Florida, however deployed to SouthWest Asia (can't be more specific)
Believe me - I would dirve/fly cross-country (US) to get there...it's a little different story from here..
Appreciate your post Sir...
I tend to seek out a lot of advice, compare notes..and use what I think is the best route...
I like to call myself a "realist" - and the "cloudy" picture certainly explains a lot of what I feel lately..(and why I ask others what they think)
I am not financially smart..I've just been financially lucky (or blessed) - whichever way you look at it. All of my money has been hard-earned, so perhaps that has made it "hard" to go..
What are Monk's weeknesses? I need to tempt him into giving a Monkinar near my location!!!! (I know I'm missing the F action)
Thanks Cici!!
Quick question - if I sign up, does it require installed software, or does it use the same web-based interface that the free version does?
(I guess I could go read, huh?)
I can't install software (or shouldn't) where I'm at....hard to explain...but basically I'm web-based most of the time
Thanks again wicks....
Too bad we don't have a Monks Den FAQ section!
Serious question for you Weave...
My 401K made it through the crash UNTOUCHED..it was almost all in bonds.
I recently moved a good chunk of it into a growth fund, that has shown great progress lately...
Do you think I need to fall-back (at least some?)..
Can you "read" when a shake is about to happen?
Is there a "real-time", online stock-charting website available?
Oh yeah..and free too..? (Ask for a lot don't I?)
Stockcharts.com seems to only look at a stock on a daily basis?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm absolutely fascinated by this brave-new-world.....it's the funniest thing.. I used to check onine into news sites every few hours (or a few times an hour)... now I'll forget to even check the news..it seems like there's only one kind of news I've been interested in lately!
Thanks Maxell....
I'm playing a Virtual Stock Exchange game with a few friends...and this one taught me about greed and the market today. I made a killing in the game on it yesterday - and bought back again this morning...
I do have to say - it gave me the first taste of defeat that I've had since getting involved.... and I can see how the MM's will be able to play on the minds of Den holders.
I can't say enough how helpful (and supportive) it has been to get the communications back from the members here.. thanks to everyone for supporting the "new guys"..
Thanks Wicks....
I've installed tie-downs..for the bumpy ride!
It might be... if someone is savvy (or has the tools)..perhaps they could check the numbers to see if the available shares were really all bought just before yesterday? (The claim was the CEO did a big buy-back)
But..let's say this was a "pump-n-dump"... if the people that are doing these start calling the P-N-D's "float lock downs"...eventually they might dilute/ruin the reputation/idea of what Monk is trying to do...? If it was a PND - I fell for it (with virtual money in the game)...
Float-lock-down ….happens too fast?
Please don’t take this as a “basher” post – I’m a new owner of C,G,and I stocks…and really believe in the idea.
So I was exited a few days ago – when a float-lock-down type stock situation was occurring (allegedly) to a stock called CIND.
The story was that the CEO was buying-back most of his companies stock. I didn’t do the DD to verify the story – but let’s presume that it was true/accurate.
I’m totally new to trading – but thought this would be a GREAT opportunity to watch how a FLD “squeeze” might play/look/etc.
I’ve been playing the Virtual Stock Exchange to see how I would fair if I put money into the market – and so I decided to buy CIND (in the game – which tracks the real market).
What I saw – is that it skyrocketed in just one day – over 300%. The next day (today) was the fall…not buy nearly as much – but definitely faster than I imagined. Those that found the FLD condition – were thinking that it would go even higher today.
I don’t think that CIND had the same commitment from shareholders as Den members have, but was wondering if a lot of weak (not willing to hold onto shares through a MM play) share holders – could allow the same thing to happen with one of our FLD plays? Basically - could there be fake or test squeezes by MM’s – that would shake out the less-brave..and demoralize the rest? I guess anything could happen – but the commitment to hold has become very apparent to me…
Anyways – like I said…the CIND play yesterday was an eye-opener to me. It was the first thing that I’ve seen outside of the Den plays – that was called a “float-lock-down”, and it was even compared directly to CDIV (the word is out!!!).
My concern after yesterday: that “the squeeze” might happen in ONE day..and that if for whatever reason I missed the market/computer/etc. that day… I would totally miss the wave…
Still learning….
-R
Doh!!!
About an hour away now....
You aren't North..near Cocoa Beach now are you?
(My old stompin grounds)
I guess any of the left 4
I'm brand-new at this - haven't been to a Monkinar yet...in the watching and learning stage.
Monk won't have a Monkinar in Florida - I think he must be worried about flying near water
So for now...just trying to pick up whatever I can!
Which chart software is that?
I've seen it on a few pictures... just curious if it's an application, or the StockCharts website..?
I'm sure I'm going to get some kind of flag at the bank...
I've been moving more money around for this - than I have for a long time...
Lay off...
The Alpaca Milk...
(Just kidding!)
Thanks BillyJack
Thanks Jackie!!
(Was I supposed to get a PM?)
IN!!!!!!
Not only am I in... but this is also my FIRST time ever using a brokerage, not to mention buying any stock outside of my company’s.
Thanks you to everyone that has helped me through the rough waters of my indecision!!!
Special thanks to Monk. I hope I meet you soon. I have read nothing but good about you…and this ride..is riding on you!
There is a great group here… and I look forward to the good times ahead!!!
Thank you everyone – for keeping this real.
SCHWWWEEEEEET!!!
Did you get out of there before the crash, or after?
Wow - I used to fish at Sebastion Inlet, and surf right outside the inlet at a breakl called "Monster Hole"...
How close was your land to the water!?!?!
I'm on the Emerald Coast....
(Not that bad of a part of FL..)
It's beautiful there... some of the best beaches in FL...
Any other Florida folks here?
I'm in the panhandle (when I'm home)
Wife is listening to Jimmy Buffett and Steel Pulse by the pool right now..watching the kids swim...
She knows how to rub it in!!
Mr. Monk Mister Sir…
I’m “doin the deid” tomorrow…
Would you be willing to advise on a general breakdown of percentage to put in? I.E:
30% C, 30% G, 30% E…
.
Or maybe 50% E, 25% C, 25% G…..
PM would be great – I’m not a paying member yet…
Thank ya!!!!!
LOL!!!
This could end up being a VERY busy lady...
Oh...my wife is nuts about them...
She says (in a cute little girl voice) - that they have these little baby mouths (almost like a baby horse mouth)..with really soft hair, and big bambi eyes.. and that they are so sweet.
I guess my kids go and feed them there at the Zoo - it's a small one in Florida that barely survived the hurricanes....
The Admin was great! He replied right away..
I had read horror stories on the Internet about people getting kicked off the site - and was wondering if the same had happened to me..
Ha! - I guess they have Alpacas at the Zoo near us...
And my wife takes the kids to feed them.
Thanks for the Link - I can't get to it from here at work...but will check it out later!
-R
Oh man!! Too funny!!!
Out of jail!!!
Thank you SideShow for the quick email reply!!!
I guess my account was flagged because I had my friend Jeanneret join IHub last night - I guess it looks like we are running multiple accounts from the same place (we're deployed together)...
Let the good times roll.. (again!)
Maico - thanks - I appreciate the words and wisdom...
I'm going to be bringing people I care a lot about into to this...and there's definately a commitment that comes along with it.
This is going to be sooooo fun to watch play out...
I know....
And it sort of feels like someone spiked it with Vodka!
Den members are making history…
I don’t know what happened….but somehow I finally drank the Koolaid tonight. It “clicked”.
Actually - I do know what happened. I gave up on convincing myself that this was a scam!
I’m sure I’m just stating what many of you already know/feel…. This is going to be history making.
And of course - the Koolaid is making me have some really bad thoughts….stop my company stock purchase plan (so I can buy Den shares)…dig deep into savings…etc…
Am I starting to feel what others have? The “all in” feel?
Ha! Either that or Area 51!!!
(I hear they are from outer space!)
Yeah - but you could bring it with you on a Sailboat!!!
(Or a yacht - whichever comes first)
