big money triple digit boy buying into uncertainty
I'm about to buy some anti-amazon retail stocks, now that AMZN and google are being investigated, there are a whole handful of companies whose value they crushed that might be OK short term turnarounds.
I'll never understand why people think it's a good idea to get in so shallow in any stock.
No it's not a good idea.
If you want capital preservation buy bonds. You aren't going to make any money on 2 shares of AMZN.
It doesn't even pay a dividend.
The best time to buy Amazon with $4k was in 1997, not now.
just like an earnings report, they usually post the bullet points right to BB terminal when he starts speaking, and release a pdf on their website at teh same time.
wow so rude
he has to start somewhere
AMZN is the choice that he made
number of shares doesn't matter that much :p
I have around 10k in ETFs, im accumulating more every month. I just wanted to get some amazon because its future seems to be bright. My diversification would suffer in the short term but in 6 months I'll be balanced again.
I'm not planning to sell and want to live off dividends when I retire
Yes the number of shares matters.
This isn't a game and your feelings do not matter. At all. If your feefees get hurt over anything I just said you need to step away from the market forever.
Do you even understand how difficult it is for Amazon to gain more market cap?
The thing is $1700 per share. If it goes to $1800 it puts on BILLIONS in market cap and this guy gets a couple hundred dollars in gains.
It's a waste of your time and your money.
He would 100% be better off buying an ETF that tracks the market if he fundamentally does not understand how to make money in the market.
The future is bright for people with the money to buy it.
If you put $500k into Amazon and it goes up $100 that's like $35k profit.
You could make way better returns literally anywhere else.
The ship has sailed for AMZN.
If he wants to buy two shares of amazon I'm not gonna throw a fit on an American comic book exchange website and say, "Reeeeee, you're not allowed to buy only two shares".
He wants to buy AMZN, the number of shares thing shouldn't be a blocker. DOn't fill his head with all kinds of doubt on such a nice morning, let the young guy go ahead and buy his two shares of AMZN
Shut up you retarded weeaboo.
He asked for opinions and I gave mine.
I'm not going to jack his dick and whisper sweet nothings into his ear.
It's a bad idea.
Why kind of portfolio are you working with? Low four figures?
plenty of the kids we have coming in here asking for advice are buying options, or going all-in on biopharma stocks.
If someone wants to buy AMZN, that's perfectly all right. It will probably in crease in value over time. And if it doesn't, oh well, not the end of the world for your young protagonist.
and again again again, number of shares doesn't matter, you were very concerned that he was only buying two shares, but you never really said why it is so important...
If you post here much, you get to look really bad ideas in the face every day. Buying AMZN stock for a long term hold is a neural idea at the very worst.
hope it makes sense ;^)
Thanks both of you. I'll still buy amazon, I might have 500k of it in 10 years and the dividend will be enough return for my risk profile
