Saxon Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 1 minute ago, Rassah said: S&P500 automatically reshuffles what stocks belong to it, dropping off failed companies and adding succeeding. Furthermore if "everyone" did this, the market would get a huge influx of capital, and businesses would be able to grow, expand, invest in R&D, and create new products much faster. Everyone would actually be able to win, with the overall economy growing rapidly, as opposed to this being just some winning at the expense of others. Really the only reason most people don't do this is because most people simply don't know about this, or think stock investing is hard and something only rich people on Wall Street are able to do. I used to be a personal financial advisor, and that's pretty much the reasons I got from people. Regarding your dad, I don't know how much he invested every month, for how long, and into what stocks. It could be he picked something with a lot lower return, or started investing late so didn't invest for as long, or just invested too little. My husband has been investing into his IRA into Vanguard Index Shares for years on my advice, and his 5 year return is 12.92% so far, with the overall return of 45%, which is pretty much on target. You can figure out what happened with your dad by just checking the historic return of his stocks (divide it by 12), how many months he has been investing (or years times 12), and how much he was investing every year, then stick that into the link I gave you and see if you get the same number. I've been talking to someone who owns stocks and shares about this, and they think you're spinning a yarn. I don't think expecting to become a millionaire by this means is a realistic ambition. Suffice to say you're not going to bully anybody into giving their money to people on here. I don't know why a thread like this is permitted, because it offers ripe opportunity for con men to exploit anybody who does show that they're easily lead to make investments. ._.

Rassah Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I need to get all my FCC licenses in order before I can come for a Tim Hortons visit. I don't know why the meets stopped though. Someone got banned? @Saxon I wonder why they think I'm spinning a yarn? Do they know about future value of annuity formula, or dollar cost averaging? (The things I described) Or long term rate of return on stocks? I wonder if they're active stock traders instead of long term investors? For the record, I don't own the S&P500 or Vanguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WileyWarWeasel Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 To Rassah's credit, even though their blind faith in the "free" market is about as ridiculous as collectivist's faith in government they do appear to know how to make a dollar or two. That being said, do your own research and always remember these three things: fundamentals, fundamentals, FUNDAMENTALS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rassah Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Yep. Rise a whole lot, get to bubble stage, then drop to a point much higher than where it started, which it seems to do every time there's a large price rise. Still up 16% over the last 30 days (started at $750, leveled at $900). And still 120% up in the year, which is ridiculous for any investment.

AshleyAshes Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I like how he bragged when it reached $1000, even going so far as to say 'Just saying "I told you so" to no one in particular." as his motive. Then when it drops from $1000 he says that's to be expected. ...Yet when it was at $1000, he wasn't warning people to sell before it lost a huge percentage, just 'I told you so'. I wonder why he didn't tell anyone that while he was so busy with 'I told you so'? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Tim Horton himself died in the 1970s and while he saw the franchise become successful, it never saw it become a national icon of Canadian middle and working class culture.
