If you had 200K to invest

Stocks, still time.  

MXL, TDC, INFA, TSLA, EMC.

Made 24.67% return last year....  add the getbig factor to it, I would've made 3444.55% return.

Great Ideas of stocks to short/put options...

Gas station/food mart in the satellite parking lot of a major airport.

10 years ago the opportunity became available to my dad....we skipped on it cause at the time the place ws just a piece of barren land with no history of business....we even went and checked it out...but as i said...we decided it ws too risky.
Some african invested around 1.5 mil in it...

needless to say...he ws pumping 3 times the volume the traffic pattern (and various)other site studies had shown and recovered his initial investment in 3 years...


its the ONLY gas station at the bali/wash international(BWI) airport parking lot

I dollar cost averaged all the way through 2008 and 2009.  Many sleepless nights as $500 swings a day were killing me at the time.  Now i'd laugh at a mere $500 swing a day (unless it goes for weeks on end like it is now, lulz)

With stocks = be positive but realist. With Interactive brokers or Etrade, set thresholds alerts, never sit in front of the screen.... unless day trading

i have an ib account too.  i only called them a couple times over technical issues, nothing ever trading related.  plus their chat / customer service online usually doesn't take longer than an hour, not sure when the last time you dealt with them was.

Service is shit but tools are pretty decent... always a tradeoff. Please be positive. 

I mainly trade options these days, OptionsXpress is awesome, 10k minimum to open account, at least used to be.

[Les Grossman]

maybe i'll just stick to my current work; maybe it'll give me the size of one of your neighbors houses.  i remember when i was in high school i went to that amc by you, and there were these two girls that lived up the street from the theater.  no need to mention which house, but when i was outside, i said to her, "nice pond" in her backyard, and she said "that's our pool".

that's the kind of confusion i'd like to create for my houseguest one day.

Ah yes, I know exactly the one you mean. Just a South Barrington "farm house"....with its six-car garage, a private lake with a beach and an island, and a baseball field.

My only issues were technical with IB..The CS reps are a little stuck up...I'm sure it's cause my account size is below 10 million...

We should have a stock Trading Board on getbig...

Make getbig like interactive brokers..A one stop forum.

We used to have one on alfamaleforum...  maybe have  stick on the board of the same name...

I always liked the one stop shop idea... before the addicted drama queens ruined that place, that was the intent....

if i wanted to start a nationwide multibillion dollar business on man to man ass fingering salons, i'd ask him.

but on a business that would make money and keep one out of their mom's basement, i'll consult others.

i was going to give you some investment/business advise afer i went through all the replies but now i dont think i want to help you 


but because im a nice guy ill still give you a little bit of help


fuck a franchise.  buy real estate. the oldest and best investment advice ever: buy low sell high. right now we are ta the rock bottom of real estate prices.

funny that you dislike the children of the dark continent when they probably have a bigger thing for women with your physical attributes than most whities.

A hardcore garage gym, like Metroflex. Yeah I know it would never become a goldmine, but I like to follow my heart.

24% in one year huh.



not bad but you could do a whole lot better. how much money you have invested? you doing a 401k style retirement plan? managing it on your own?  let me take the reigns and reap a 5% advisors fee and ill guarantee you more than 100% return annually.. legally..  

[Jadeveon Clowney]

and I still wouldn't give a shit

what about when you're fifty and all by your lonesome? it's not like you're a prize-winning specimen .... and you're dark so maybe that ship sailed a few centuries ago?

[Jadeveon Clowney]

Africa is on the rise, ten percent of Africa population is now considered middle class and the middle class is growing as we speak.

I'm confident there are places in Africa with stabile enough law enforcement for a KFC.

well said, my african brother.

[tbombz]

but i wouldnt have you investing in the stock market. stocks are for losers most of the time. winners play on their own field, and make the decisions themselves; they dont rely on others to do the work for them and they sure as hell dont invest their money into other peoples business. that is, very rarely will they invest in others business. everyonce in a while a stock will come around worth buying, but they are hard to come across because usually the equilibrium price per share is reached real quickly because of insider trading laws.

stocks are for salaried workers too lazy/unmotivated/scared to take care of their own finances. for those people, a 401k style retirement is a good way to go. for everyone else, fuck wall street.

You thought I was bullshitting..........

And I'm actually Daytona - PHX - NYC this week. The Cove will need to wait 'til Friday.

Unless ManBearPig wants to go tramping in Momence, then I'll make a detour.

Africa is on the rise, ten percent of Africa population is now considered middle class and the middle class is growing as we speak.

I think 10% is a very optimistic prognosis. I can't mention a African country without extreme differences between the rich and the poor. I think food branch is a stable one because of the simple fact people need food (duh!), but a KFC is only for a small local minority.

I'm confident there are places in Africa with stabile enough law enforcement for a KFC.

Again very optimistic. I think it's very hard to start a business over there. Once the authorities realize you're a foreigner, they would take advantage of that.
