Seriously, STFU. As Omelet said, this thread is about stocks. If you can't be on CCS without constantly derailing threads with petty, circular arguments then get the **** out. Or I can make that decision for you.

Ya, ya, ya...I'm a "hall monitor". Maybe I wouldn't have to play that role if certain people would stop constantly acting like children.

Cool beans.

Back on topic, If you are someone that owns common stocks and are just sitting on them long term, it's not a bad strategy to sell covered calls against some of your holdings on a monthly basis, in some cases for 3-6% premiums depending on how volatile they are. It can force you to take some profits sometimes, but if you are not callled out, it's like a monthly dividend. I like stocks with a higer beta, that pay a dividend, that can give you a 2 percent/month premium on a call option.

I hold shares in companies I support. I'm not a bandwagon type of guy with stocks, although I don't hate people that do trade to pick up a few bucks. I certainly don't want to lose my money either as some form of charity.

Everything I hold, has been doing reasonable or well. *knock on wood*.

Hey NWFISCH, this thread is useless to you since you have no money and likely won't in the future

Why are you so mean to the kid?

It's fine.

I already have a retirement account where I put money away a week and my workplace has a retirement plan as well.

It's adorable how mad Omelet gets though. Capitalizing my username.

Very long term the graph indicates that the trend will always be positive. That should be encouraging for any young person with an eye on the future and their retirement.

Short term (over a few years) you can see radical swings in the market. The 2008 timeframe was based on the banking scandals/issues. Early 2000s it was the internet bubble breaking. Is that manipulation? Maybe. But that's why I have a money manager representing me because when they represent me they are representing themselves. They only win big when I win big


I apologize if this is propaganda, its hard to tell these days.

I wish you rich guys would make a $1 bet that you could take me out of my box and turn me into a CEO like that Eddie Murphy movie.

There are alot of factors that have made life more diffucult for the under 40 crowd than for the baby boomers, including a lack of retirment by baby boomers to open social mobility. They can't afford to retire, we can't afford to insulate ourselves against market ups and downs.

High paying jobs have been stripped away for machines whereever possilble, as an economic correction to Global parity seems to be taking place, while Environmentalism and big cumbersome and ineffecient government and lawyers have clusterfucked everything and stand in the way of new business, as well as an inability to compete with the size and advantages corporations have. Mom and pop stores aren't dead, but they are disadbantaged to compete financially, there only choice is to offer higher priced crafted goods of higher quality.

You grew up at a completely different time Omelet, and learned the survival skills to succeed in that time. Our job as youth is not to learn your skills, (though we are prudent to listen to advice, but not to take the adice but to interpret it into what it means in a changing future),

its very hard for sons to get along with fathers right now....because they think this thing is simple for us and we are just doing it wrong. Its not simple, and we have alot of factors against us if we are starting from the bottom in 2014 or 2000 instead of 1975, and commerce has completely switched form the physical world to online, and so have many of our social and business responsibilties. We don't get comped to take business trips and make connections that further our worth and promote business opportunities.

Socialism will invade us because the elite have left no choice as social mobility grinds to a halt. My generation is simply left with no choice but to evolve that direction, because our populous is too rebelious for the distance in classes to go too far. It needs to stay in balance, and that means finding ways to fix the generational wealth imbalance we have in this country.
