An individual stock has given me an unrealized gain of over 600% in a year and a half's time. Not typical, yet not unheard of. Out of curiosity, I wanted to know how long it would have taken to grow to the same amount if I had invested that initial amount into a reasonable index fund. @8.5%...

Was just curious if anyone bought into the market yesterday or is planning to as the Dow has fallen? What have you got on your radar?

I've been tracking my net worth on a monthly basis since 1999--the first year in which it first went positive. I had been investing in my company 401k for a year and saving money aside from it, too. I have found tracking NW to be a simple yet effective exercise that kept me motivated and on...

I'm going to use mine to pay most of my monthly expenses for January, 2021. What will you do with yours?

APPS -Digital Turbine, ENPH -Enphase Energy and XPEL- Xpel Technologies all have good ROE, ROA and PM% and their charts look amazing, growing steadily. HIgh P/E but high growth companies usually have high P/e s, so that is what I like to see. TTD-Trade Desk and ZM-Zoom are growing quickly. I...

A younger friend of mine doesn't see the point of investing money because she doesn't think she is going to live very long and thinks that is why a lot of people don't. I don't know if this is true or not, but if she feels that is the case, of course, she is free to do so. If someone doesn't...

If you are an investor in Tesla I'm sure you've gotten the news already about the company joining the S and P 500 in December, 2020. News many have been waiting on. I am excited about the prospects and looking forward to the coming years as an investor in Tesla. Cheers!

I diversify passively through retirement accounts-- 401ks and an IRA. I invest actively through my individual stock account and I diversify within in it very little. I find that this works for me. I'm not asking for anyone's advice here, (so many people seem to assume so much). The title of...

I like to write down my goals and find I'm more likely to attain them when I do. Has anyone set theirs for next year? If so, care to share?

Dow going to go over 30K, a new all-time high after years of pushing the limit. Election result pushing it over the edge.

Someone just asked me if I missed working No, not at all. I don't miss that physically demanding job. I don't miss working for the bosses that made it harder for me to do that job and I don't miss feeling unappreciated by them. I don't miss being expected to work almost every weekend and...

Do you have a favorite growth stock? Or any favorite stock?

Life after fire...three weeks in and I feel pretty good. Had some unexpected repairs and costs come up, but that's going to happen as things usually do. Am grateful to have the money to pay for them. Getting a lot of rest and I feel stronger so I'm getting things done that I haven't been able...

Is anyone else patiently or impatiently waiting for the anticipated exciting news to come this afternoon?

Will we see the new high for the Dow this week? I think it might take 2 to 3 weeks at the rate it is going barring, of course, any serious pullback in the overall markets.

I am on the cusp of a major milestone and the chances are very good that I will surpass it next week. As I was sitting here, I recalled a section in one of my financial books that i first read back in oh, 2001 I think. The "Motley Fool" was discussing climbing the ladder of each "rung"...

Am hoping the Dow Jones Industrial Average hits 30,000 by the end of 2020. The market has been going sideways for over a year and a half now. Can't wait to see it happen!

Retiring on September 1st, 2020. I just turned 56 recently. My health hasn't been the greatest and I've been working toward this day for some years. Finally decided it's time to just stop. Life is short and there are no guarantees on how long I will live. So, I'm taking the leap of faith...
