What annoys me.......

[egp320i]

places like seeking alpha give you a headline

this is where we think so and so stock will end up at the end of 2026

then they give you various numbers to read

At the end they state.....we have no clue where it might end up

so they lie so you read the article, you really don't gain any
logical forecast or even their opinion

it's like a fluff ad for some product but they don't tell you what it does
or how it will help you.......but send money now, special offer

I hate it when my spellchecker fails to alert me because it recognizes my typo for some obscure legitimate word instead.

it's a bait and switch........microsoft will be worth this much

after you read the story with rambling and numbers......they don't give you any number

not a ballpark, not even a general speculation

I gained nothing from that piece, thanks for wasting my time

The stock market is gambling, these people don't know what will happen, they're guessing.

It'll always be like that. Nobody can predict the future correctly. They might get things right, but they also get things wrong.

it's not gambling in the sense of going to vegas, it's a hedge on companies that
are doing well that continue to do well, grow, make money and their stock goes up

choose wisely, this is not a black or red at the roulette wheel

there is info about how a company has does in the past, a track record which is what
should make them track higher in the future

back to my post.......yes the articles that promise you one thing, you read and at the end
they say, well we don't know.......thanks for wasting my time on my dibble

I learned nothing

No, it's different, but still it's gambling. Doesn't matter if a company's doing well or not. One bad thing could see shares go down, a recession could see shares go down for no fault of the company's either.

true but you are investing your money
when you buy a lotto ticket and lose like you will 99.99999999
percent of the time you are out the price

now penny stocks, those are gambling and you generally lose

stick with big companies that makes money
walwart, J&J, costco, cat, 3M to name a few

Unless of course they don't.

There are safer bets, those companies they get an unfair advantage because they bribe the government... walmart....

 

[egp320i]

why does walmart need to bribe the government, for what?
walmart has been growing since the 50's or so
make money.......expand, make more money
rinse and repeat

penny stock go under like buying a lotto ticket
they have a theoretically product, they have zero cash
flow, they pay a staff of 3
just a matter of time before they go bankrupt
unless their drug does amazing things
for that they need to get R&d funding
