Is GNC A Good Buy @ 9.15 A Share?

MY Brain | today | OV

So GNC is down to 9.15 a share, it was up to 60.18 in Nov 2013. Last years high was at 34.58 in April, but has since slid into almost penny stock territory.

I understand that they are having trouble from theom;ine sales and all, but they are also running a Super Bowl add to help.

I guess even if the Super Bowl add helps temporarily it may be a smart move to buy at 9.15 to make a quick profit from the response they get off the add. Anyone agree?

By the way you all want a tip?

Try ATI, Allegheny Technology Inc.

I made almost $10,000 of ATI yesterday. It gained 6.1 on their shares, from Monday and I was able to make good on it. I purchased 1300 shares back in December when their stock was down to 15.93, and when it went up to 23.69 I made it big. I then sold 500 shares to keep the profit and I'll reinvest when the stock drops a bit. It did drop today down tar close to 21.88.

ATI engages in the manufacture of specialty materials and components for different industries which include aerospace and defense, oil and gas and chemical process, as well as electrical energy. Along with lower than expected losses and Trumps executive orders on the pipelines the stock rose. It was up to $117.00 a share back in 2007, but the crash and Obama's eventual cut backs caused the stock to fall down to a low of $8.25 in early 2016.

God is good, after Trump won found I began looking for deals, and I found this gem in December and purchased the 1300 stocks and I expect it to soar again eventually. In the mean time it has already given me a good return in the first week of Trumps being in office.

So anyone have any advice on the GNC Stock question for me?

WOW.

I’ll be doing Due Diligence for days!!! :)

Thanks man.

I always suggest people do their own research on suggestions so they cant bitch later if it doesn’t work out.

Again, thanks.

Where did I say all my money is in one basket?

Back in 2008 I said I was buying gold, yet people told me I was crazy, yet I mad a killing. Since then I ignored what I could have done to make more.

I will not miss this chance.

I made $10,000 off a stick that I knew was low, and it took off. I expect it to happen again, and again, and again thousands of times over in the next 12 Months.

it is just knowing which stocks took a hit under Obama to know where they are to target them while they are now low.

[OneVike]

I understand you, but I also know the money is there to be made.

[OneVike]

I will

[OneVike]

Thank you. I am starting an ongoing stock market thread tomorrow, would you like a ping to it?

[OneVike]

LOL, no. I am the number one Minnesota Viking fan.

[OneVike]

Wow, great advise, and I use Fidelity for my stock brokerage

[OneVike]

Hmm, interesting. I’ll take your advise into consideration Brother, but it will not stop me from my desire to reach my target.

I haven’t been to a GNC in a long time. Back in the 90’s I had a co worker who left his banking job to buy a GNC franchise. Don’t know how that turned out. Went to the local GNC a few years ago and the person working there was a real jerk.

Equity markets are very cruel places. Especially for people that are in need of making money.

I can assure you, your pursuit will end in tragedy.

I will begin an ongoing Stock thread for us all to properly capitalize and learn from each other.

Make sure you put a big, bold disclaimer at the top of that thread re stock advice. Stock forums normally have to post this kind of disclaimer - this isn't a stock forum, but still, best to cover FR's butt. You might even want to check with the FR management before doing this.

I can get anything they sell at GNC cheaper online. I’d worry that they go the way of Radio Shack.

[catnipman]

I get my vitamins locally or from SwansonVitamins.com. GNC is a scam.

absolutely agree.

[patriot08]

Add me Pls. Tks

[OneVike]

will do

[Bodleian_Girl]

I don’t remember that!

[Newbomb Turk]

GNC is going he way of Radio Shack.

As a gym owner and lifter for years, I have been buying better supplements on Amazon at 1/3 the cost of GNC.

[Salamander]

It was the in the 80s.
[back when they actually had a great selection of vitamins and supplements that did *not* “rip your abs” or whatever]

The peanuts were in a roaster and the clerk would whip up whatever you wanted.

It was not odd to rush back to the car and scoop out hot, fresh chunky PB.

Yummy.

:D

AMD reports their earnings next week.

I own a bunch of Nvidia stock. Last year it went from $25.73 to $117.32 Currently at $107.79. They report their earnings in February. Last earnings the stock jumped $20.20 in 1 day!

Both make computer chips.

I randomly came across an article about Nvidia and bought it at $62.25 in August 2016 and since have come close to doubling my money so I am happy. AMD is another story I read as these 2 stocks are the biggest risers last year.

I may buy AMD as I could buy 10x more stock and it may continue to go up. If I sell Nvidia then I pay more in taxes as I held it less then 1 year. I would be betting that AMD would go up enough to cover those taxes and then some....
