Gore has made a killing on his investments in green tech.. That is why he is hellbent on telling everyone to go green.. I would do the same if I was going to make 100 million plus on green investments.. Biff has a point, I would rather reduce the our carbon footprint... Just in case those models are correct.

The housing market has bottomed... And if you are scared to jump in.. Just hedge it.... When I purchase my overpriced home in either HOboken or BH I will be buying some SRS... Just in case the housing market tanks again... Not a play for everyone... Those who are waiting for better prices have to realize dollars are being printed and the gov is purposely hurting the dollar.. Sure you may be lucky to get a great price on a foreclosure but you better be a cash buyer..

THE Yankees win, ThEEEEE Yankeeeees win... Anyone buy a home lately.. I would like to know if people are buying? I have been outbid on one home in Hoboken and one in Jersey City.. Jersey City home was pure investment.. I just checked my weight and I am at 216lbs... But now I will go back to my diet.. After Friday's parade.... Smoothies here I come...

I am not giving advice.. I charge for that.. I am adding my two cents.. I do it because I feel people should know.. Most people work day jobs and have no time for the market.. They place their 401k s and let the so called pros do the work for them... But what you and others don't realize is that these pros don't care about your performance.. They care about their commision.. They need people to stay in the market to keep earning their commision... I have no motives because I do not look to make any money from my comments about the market... As for experience, I have no experience in taking a big hit in my portfolio... My comments about the market usually are made to help people.. I don't like to see people get used by the Machine..

Benson , I am entitled to write whatever I want to write.. You are entitled to not read my comments...

Chicken, You are right.. My port is doing ok and I will probably refrain from making any more market calls on this board...

Posted by: HOBOKENROCKS at October 28, 2009 5:47 PM in response to Open Thread

Benson , you are attacking my cred.. I take that serious.. I asked you to verify because I know I am telling the truth.. If I had nothing to back up my claims than I would just shut up... I can back my claims... As for DIBS post .. He is correct.. People shouldn't base their investments on what anyone on a blog recommends.. But some may have.. If they listened to me , they came out ahead.. That I am sure of....

Posted by: HOBOKENROCKS at October 28, 2009 5:30 PM in response to Open Thread

Stevie B, Support is at 1040 for the SP 500... If it breaks thru that than I think the next support is 1025... I made that call at 1096 cuz the market could not break that 1097 level... I was right.. I have been wrong as well..

I am out of the stock market as of right now.. Take it for what its worth... I got on at around 1025 sp a couple of weeks ago and I think we are topping.. I still own calls on the bgu... So not totally out... If we close under 1096 than I think we go down.. Anywhere from three to ten percent... Anyone have anygood investment ideas... I am running out of places to look for under priced investments.-hoboken rocks.

lol i dont know if anyone cares about that. the important question is how much weight you lost this week! youre the guy who has a weekly weigh-in here right? hahah

*rob*

Posted by: Butterfly at October 19, 2009 12:49 PM

That call was made at around noon on October 19.. Check it baby... If you know how to play the tecnicals you can make money in this market....

dibs, bh stands for Boerum hill? Don't know.. Benson may not believe me but if he likes he can go back and check my call on the market the other day.... Benson look back and read what I have written.. Maybe you can benefit from my market calling... At the same time I have asked DIBS about some things.. TBT was a good play for me and I got that from DIBS...

Posted by: HOBOKENROCKS at October 28, 2009 4:36 PM in response to Open Thread

Benson , I didn't make a killing but I made a good amount of money.. Anyone who looks at technicals would have made money in that market.... I called 1097 as the top the other day... Go back and look it up... I am no genius.. But I do follow the technicals and while they are working I will be right.. I play the market to earn my money.. I have no reason to lie.... If you have the ability to look back at some of my posts relating to the market.. You will see I was correct on most... I was trying to help when I wrote on this board.. I did that again the other day WHEN THE SP500 WAS AROUND 1097...

Only problem I have is that you are paying a million dollars and getting a small ass kitchen... For that you rent a 5k a month apt and get something much better in return... Don't get me wrong I like the place but more money should have been spent on the cocina...

I have timed the market pretty well... :)

Posted by: HOBOKENROCKS at October 26, 2009 4:09 PM in response to Open Thread

Dibs no one can time the market perfectly.. But people can see which direction the market is heading... Especially when you get a double top.. MORE4LESS is 100 percent right.. The only guys that have made money in the stock market over the past 10 years are the guys who work in the companies that do the trading of the market.. Not the investors that pay these idiots.. You ever wonder why these fund managers are not out there playing their own money.. I would have no problem playing other people's money...

ok now I get kibitzing.. Holding any investment long term is crazy.Unless you do your homework and think the investment is still a smart one.. 401K's are a good tool for tax purposes and for a good retirement..But mutual funds are not allowed to hedge.. I think in this market it is a must... ASK DIBS WHO RUNS A HEDGE FUND...

Posted by: HOBOKENROCKS at October 26, 2009 3:47 PM in response to Open Thread

DIBS sounds like a mutual fund manager.. Long term investing has killed many investors.. Don't do it with all your money... If you are too busy to invest your own money than get a advisor.. Don't just dump money into a 401k...

WHAT IS KIBITZING

Gemini ,,, I visit every once in a while.. I actually called the top of the market the other day.. I wrote that I was selling as the market hit 1097 and since then we are down close to 3 percent... As for investing in this market, It is hard to tell.. If the government takes away the stimulus , I would jump ship in a second...If they keep the printer flowing , than investing in the market is the way to go... But you have to have a fast finger..

I am looking at the dollar.. I would not be surprised if we get a bottom on the dollar in the short term.. I am looking at the previous lows and we are getting close to them.. If the dollar rebounds I see the market lowering .. But the Goverment will be back to printing.. And then if the USA economy is not on solid ground the dollar will be in trouble...

It was a moderately priced home for Hoboken.. Any townhome in Hoboken is going to be over 1 million and the one I bid on was 1.4.. I thought my low all cash bid would take it but there are much deeper pockets than me bidding on these homes also.. It sucks cuz it had a good backyard and all..
