I don't know if there's much interest, but if we're doing steaks, TV shows, exercise and vacations, we may as well do money. I know there's at least a few guys on here who work in finance (and a few others who at least have bank accounts!). About 2 years ago I got into a discussion with genius about my decision to buy Apple when it was trading for $100 (I got in at 70; he was adamant it had nowhere to go but down). I sold half of what I had a few months ago at 180, and bought GE for 13. It's 14 now, and I'm confident in a year or 2 it should be 18-20. If I had anything left, I"d be buying ExxonMobil XOM for under 80. Solid core business, good upside potential if oil rises, and if nothing else, a 4% dividend while I wait. As always, speak with your financial advisor before investing, and remember: You can't do better for financial advice than anonymous internet sources! What could possibly go wrong?
