Nice I think that's the week before school starts. Road trip lol

i'll say, are you working and going to school?

Sounds like a plan Tin, pm when you are coming.

I'm still in school Tin. One more year left.

I work, all depends if i have to have hip replacement surg. or not. When do you plan on comming to the Lou?

no immediate plans. my mom live on maui and i haven't been back there for even longer. so that will be my first trip, probably later this year.

that's good, i'm sure glad i don't have papers anymore!

tell me about it, that's why I'm a finance major. However I'm sure you ran across a post by me bitching about the 43 page paper I had. Glad that's done and over with lol.

what was the paper on?

it's about a 14 hour trip to st. louis from me, ouch.

It was a financial analysis between two companies. Most of it was graphs and all the ratios to see which stock we would purchase. But overall I think I put close to 20 hours into it. It was more than a quarter of our grade in the course. This was also the weeder course for our major.

thats a long *** drive.

yea it is. If I can find cool things on the way, def could be worth it lol. I'll have to look into it. Bands would be worth it.

Do you like Framing Hanley?

There ok, i put up the radio's web-site, check it out some time.

I feel as if you found out about them because of their lollipop cover than they don't really work for people. I found them about 2 years ago when Hear Me Now was on comcasts music channel lol. They are an awesome show live.

I googled the radio station that concert looks awesome. It's on different stages kinda like warped tour right. I feel like 35 bands on one stage would be way too long/way too hectic.

two real companies or two factitious ones provided by the prof?

two real ones. I did Chevron and Exxon. You just had to choose two companies in the same industry and on the same index.

interesting, what was your choice?

It's on several stages and it usually starts around noon with all the smaller bands starting out then as the day progress's the names get bigger. Makes for a long day especially when it's in the high 90's

I liked Chevron. Exxon posts better numbers over all but on further analysis Exxon is on a decline, it is a slight one, but Chevron is on an upswing. The DuPont Analysis and doing a Common Size Analysis is what made me like Chevron more.

good night ya all.

cheers! see you tomorrow.

cool, i wouldn't have ventured a guess as to who was stronger or more viable. is one more diversified than the other?

I know the feeling man, I think it was about three years ago I went to Warped Tour in Camden Jersey it was around 100 not counting humidity. I passed out while seeing Thrice, which on a side note I was pissed cause they're one of my favorite bands lol. We kept getting calls from our parents asking if we were ok cause so many people were getting rushed to the hospital from heat exhaustion etc. I saw a kid pass out and fall and crack his head open right in front of me. Truthfully I'm not sure if he made it or not, I have never seen so much blood and people freak out like that, including the paramedics. I hope he made it, and I never saw anything about a death and I feel like that would be pretty big news for the day.

Honestly they were so close in their capital structures. Exxon is just a much bigger company then Chevron, that their numbers make it out to seem better. Once everything was graphed and doing a common analysis, Chevron showed they are gaining while Exxon was in a slight decline, from what I calculated, don't take my word for it lol. Don't get me wrong both stocks are a good buy currently, just between the two I'd choose Chevron. Exxon is still a solid investment, that's what made this paper a little harder.

cool, i stopped buying individual stocks a few years ago. now i just invest 20% of my gross pay into the government TSP plan. i almost killed myself obsessing over every bit of news, over buying/selling etc. i still check the markets and my fake portfolio several times a day.

i was debating whether or not shorting the gun makers SWHC and RGR would be a good move now that the gun buying mania has subsided a bit i thought they might be in for a 20-40% correction.

haha I know how you feel. Worst moment, I bought a lot of AIG when they were down big, figured it would go back up a little and I could flip it. So I'm in class and check the stock prices on my iPhone. I see AIG is at 22 dollars up from their I think at the time 1.10 or somewhere around that. I flip a **** lol, here I am thinking yessir I just banked. Then I clicked the internet and found out about the stock split :owned:

lmao that's awesome! when i lived in maui during the tech bubble i was trading penny stocks like crazy. i took about $4k and made about $50k....


i thought i was pretty smooth until the pump and dump was done and i was left with about $800. i considered it tuition in stock school. :icon17:

hey all

what up capt canuck?

haha yea that'll happen, I've heard plenty of horror stories. I don't have the bank to go that far in but I look forward to it. I love to gamble, great thrill lol.
