Haven't jumped in just yet. I just wrote a large check for a new house so I'm a few weeks out from replenishing my funds.

First house?

Oh, I dread the day.
I thoroughly enjoy micromanaging my own budget, and I hope to save and invest 50% of my income starting sometime next year.
I'm scared to think what a woman and kids will do to that...Change me, I assume.

Simple, they spend all of it and then charge some more. But that's okay, daddy can make it work

I agree. For me, buying stock is literally comparable as the fun of being a kid and getting a new Nintendo game.

could i bother you guys with a tax question?
when filing taxes at the end of the year you are taxed on "realized gains".
Therefore if i am taking a hit on some stocks and the liklihood they return to even for me is slim. Then it would be strategic to sell them and counter my realized gains.
If this logic is correct, is there a limit to which you can write off losses above your gains?
hopefully i'm asking this correctly.
ETA1: i ask this because i had some considerable short term gains this year, but i have some outstanding short term investments that are in terrible shape. would rather get out from under them and move on.
ETA2: sort of found my answer here. feel free to expand upon this topic anyway. didn't want to hijack the thread though.

very interested in NKE, and it will likely be my next long term hold.
1.15% dividend and 30 P/E, but I'm not really worried about it. They just announced a 17% dividend hike, in line with previous hikes in the teens. Massive international growth ahead as China and India see rising middle classes, weathered the Great Recession just fine, strong brand identity, now toying around with the women's market, and other reasons IMO to justify a P/E 30.
Not that it affects valuations, but if history is any indication, this stock will be splitting next year as it passes the century mark.
Nike dominates its market, has huge growth potential ahead, and runs like a well-oiled machine.

RANDOMnumbers: You might want to just start a new thread for that question...I hate thinking about tax scenarios.

There is nothing in the company to suggest it will go down or go flat.

Who else bought a ton of Apple stock after the split? This guy did, and I can't believe it keeps climbing. It is like Christmas Day, everyday the past few weeks. Thank you Tim Cook, thank you.

I wasn't in the market at that time

Seems like the best companies with so much growth ahead pay the shittiest dividends.
Posted on 11/24/14 at 3:52 pm to LSUneaux
I'm not sure if you're being serious, but if they paid huge dividends, they wouldn't grow as much
