I have owned stocks over the years and I made way more then I could save on my own. I almost lost what I had several years ago on a bad stock. Now I have it back to where I was several years ago. I just need to have in go up in value 10 times for me after taxes to retire. I currently own 1 stock and it is Apple. Bought at $86 and it is currently at $127
Any recommended stocks to buy that get me rich quick : )
I would like a stock like TRW which was about $2.50 in March 2009 and is now $105. I guess anyone involved in stock has a story about the one that got away.
I coulda been rich but that brass ring got past me...
I have had some technology stocks perform exceedingly well for me, but the problem is always me. Selling to early if it is rising, not selling soon enough if it is a crapper. I have found that I did the best when I simply did not make too many decisions. Warren Buffett said something similar once, something to the effect of pretend you have only 20 chances to buy and sell a stock. You would choose more wisely.
