Hey guys I am losing money on stocks. I bought C, AIG, GWSC, CTIC, ADLS,HEB and other cheap stocks but every thing going down except GMGMQ. Should I sell all of these stocks and wait little while or just keep until it get turn around.

Any suggestions?

sorry bisal I dont know about that. I have a question to the experts if anyone can help

How do i get market capitalization of Heinz co. for 07/02/09. if i go to yahoo/finance it provide market capitalization as of today 11.29B but how do I find it for (07/02/09)

I am not an expert but always try to follow stock related thread for learning purpose..So I am daring to share my knowledge here..

Bisalji, 

      Stock market does not always go on uptrend..If it were,everybody would jump into market.As Warren Buffet rightly said: You can not have baby in a month by making nine women pregnant..It is all about timing and how smart you play in market to get in and out..If I were you,I would sell stocks on next week bounce.

dipulataji,

Market cap of Heinz for 07/02/2009 was 11.2805B.

 

Closing price of Heinz for 07/02/2009 was 35.80..Multiply that with No. Of Shares 315.10M..You will get Market cap of 11.2805..

 

I guess the recession wiped all our so called stock expert's portfolios. Although, I admit it did make a small dent in mine too... Still waiting for a good entry point but till then I will rather spend my time soaking some sun in the pool..

thanks databse for the information but how did u get the no. of shares fig. for last year 07/08/08?

Am still here.  Previous stock thread seems to have been buried, I guess people lost interest.

My portfolio has taken a hit recently due to the market downturn.  But I am sure it will come back up.  Gotta have some risk tolerance to play this game.

malai pani dubayo yo stock le 25% down in my portfolio

sathi ho, maile SOEN  0.36 ma kineko ahile 0.40 chha. asti ko week 0.45 pugeko thiyo. ke garda thik hola? ahile sale garne ki 0.45 pugna ko lagi parkhida ramro hola?

हुन त यो "stock मा लगानी नगर" भन्नु "पर्चण्डलाई गफ नदेउ" भन्नु जत्तिकै बेकार हो तैपनी अहिलेको पुरै stock मार्केट सखाप भा' बेला कुन बहुला कुकुरले टोकेर लगानी हाल्या? तैपनी खोलामा हालिसकेको पैसो, एउटा दुइटामा चिट्ठा परे हो, सप्पैबाट नाफा लिना त तेस्तै हो। एक पैसो नाफा आए पनि बेचेर बरु ढुक्क भए हुन्छ...नत्र मिनेट मिनेटको टाउको दु:खाइले मार्ला है मार्ला। मैले नि पढेर भन्दा परेर जान्या,  कुरो मन नपरे sorry.

database I can check the stock price of any particular date from any website. but how do I check the outstanding shares for last year. the link you provided gives the volume but  volume is not the no. of shares outstanding. where do i find the no. of shares for 07/08/08?

dipulata,
if you open this link in yahoo
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=HNZ

there is a section called "Share Statistics" you can get your information from there.

i am no expert but here are few rules to follow by:
1. invest only that one can afford to lost
2. do your homework before jumping into stock
3. do not get greedy. set a target price when you buy a stock and follow it.
4. lock in profit when your target is reached. capital preservation is key.

Stock expert ?  that is me.. why .. what do u want...

market will fall down over next few weeks and then maybe rise..

mark this post

My outlook for next 6 months

s&p to 820  then a rally to 990... then a collapse...  around oct/nov/dec we will see a big sell off and break march 2009 lows .

Gold to $1300 and dollar will rally too.. well im not too confident abt the dollar raly.. but we could see 1.32 on eur/usd...

 

dipulataji,

       Please accept my apology that I misunderstood your concern.

Thanks

Sold C, AIG (lost lot of money after 20:1), HEB, FNM. After little research bought cheap stocks which used to be very high.

I know these are risky stocks but no risk no gain. For example I had bought GWSC at .33cents and sold it for $3 made more than $3000.

See what happens to these stocks.

Please post your experiences

I violated #3 and #4 of THAPAP's rules.  I admit.  Shame on me!

My portfolio was 24% up.  Should've rung the cash register and taken the profit.  But noooooo, got too greedy.  So now my portfolio is 4% down.  Not too bad, but still....

If I do not see some pull-back by end of next week, I have to think up a strategy.

Well, as I said, you gotta have some amount of risk tolerance to play in the market.

 

25% Down in portfolio. I dont need that money recently so going for long. no risk no gain haina ta

As long as you steer clear of Financials and Construction, all should work out fine...Just stick to Consumer Staples, Utilities and Health Care and your portfoli should not feel the wrath of the current volatility we're facing day in day out.  That would be the best bet for 401Ks and IRAs out there.  If you're more of a risk-seeker, then this is defn not the tip for you.  May the markets be kind to you all. 

Live Long and Prosper.

Sold AIG, now it gained $2.26 today. Should I buy it again or just wait to fall down?

@lato_boy: do you have some kind of magic mirror that you got pulled out those numbers from? Wow, I wish I could get that specific...
@Samsara: Consumer staples and utilities and normally health care are classic recession buys but health care this time around can be a little volatile taking into account what is going on, don't you think?
@bisal: I would stay 10 miles away from AIG if I were you. It might go up, but at this point, I think the risk tremendoulsy out-weighs he benefit
