I know some people are good at stocks but the fact is that it’s never guaranteed anything. Even the best can lose. So what I want to know is, how is this any different from gambling, besides the name. The principle is the same thing. My friend knew someone at work who lost millions in the stock market in one weekend and hung himself. I’m being dead serious, it’s dangerous just like gambling is. I’m pretty sure there are people addicted to it (stock markets). It IS gambling period . So why don’t they call it that?

How to tell difference between inletted and semi inletted stocks?

zmneuro asked:


I acquired several sporter stocks for large ring Mauser from gunsmith’s estate. Some are finished, most are not. Want to keep few of them to restock my guns and sell the rest. I want to give accurate description. How can I tell if the stock is fully or semi inletted? Some seems to have precisely cut channels, and some some have rough cut. Yet, when I try to press fit one of my barreled actions into that stock, there is not enough room. Please advise. Thank you.

Snicklefritz Grubb asked:


Given that a lot of stocks are down at the moment, what are some good buy opportunities? I don’t want to buy stock that will keep going down and be worthless, but if there are some good buys now that are safe I’d like to invest in some. I can afford to wait a while if it means a good turnaround.

What stocks will be a wise investment to hold long term?

recycle b asked:


I am sick and tired of seeing my stock portfolio sometimes decreasing a few thousand dollars in one day. I am always looking for new stock investments. Which large corporate stocks are still available that have always made a profit and still have profit growth, have a low PE ratio, pay a dividend that will not be cut, have little or no debt on their balance sheet, and will be safe in this bad economy that we are facing. Provide the ticker symbols of these stocks and the reasons why the stock of these companies should be purchased.

STARYDYNAMO asked:


This may have been asked before but I have recently started on the stock market and am making about 4% a week on an investment of £1300. I have though made some initial mistakes and COULD have made about 8%. I basically see the stock market in two ways:

Either you chase hot stocks with a 3 day turnover? I reckon you could get 5-8% every 3 days.

Or find a company and invest for the long term (12 months) in which some companies (Jsainsbury) has increased 78% over this time and buy when they have either good or bad news.
