Read today about the LinkedIn IPO.... and it sent shivers to my spine.. It doubled in value to something like 9 billion.. The stock market now values LinkedIn at $8.9 billion, which amounts to 36 times the revenue it brought in last year from such things as premium subscriptions and job search...

I'm interested to know your reasoning behind picking Intel. From what I've read and studied (specially buffet techniques), he's not keen on buying companies that rely a lot on R&D and technology, and Intel fits perfectly with this criteria. The money spent on R&D is considerably high and could...

I posted this on 17-12-2010, 08:40 AM. I managed to find some pocket money and bought more. Not much though. Today, 06/05/2011 "Visa's Profit Climbs 24%; Stock-Buyback Is Planned ". http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703992704576305613962720574.html?ru=yahoo&mod=yahoo_hs...

agree... at least the syndrome of buying more because it is "cheaper" is no longer with me! you gotta learn to get out and forget about it. apple is what keeps me motivated lol, because I bought it a while ago.. I'm leaning towards coca cola or pepsi.. wanted coca cola for a while, but will...

Sold my RIMM (maker of blackberry device) shares yesterday. lost 15%. - Company lowered its fiscal Q1 forecast - I should've made the move earlier, since I don't like the company direction - I doubt existing BB users will like to get a new BB phone when their contract expires. Highly unlikely...

I've mentioned it before, but lost money buying BIDZ (and many others) whereas I could've bought solid, proven-track-record companies. Even though I won't be making thousands short term...

ahh... This is why I love "ideas" from forums and one does thorough investigation after.... Once visa plummeted 12% or something, I managed to buy a bit more with some spare cash @68.02.. .not much.. Although it is longterm, happy that it's bounced back up 6%.. market reaction to "bad" news!

Got it.. thx Steve. Yep, love fool.com. Another one is Seeking Alpha.

What broker are you using to buy shares in the US, steveadl?

Thanks for the link Intrigued, I recently read motivated money book and found it quite interesting. Will be concentrating in income producing shares here in AUS.

Hmm... Happened to me with CROX and BIDZ. Got burnt with them, very high p/e, joined the wave tOo late and you just need one result missing analyst expectations for the masses to realise the stock is too high and impossible to keep posting above expectations numbers. Even though I believe in the...

Thx for this.
