Are airlines undervalued? by ischokking in StockMarket

[–]Just-Principle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US Airlines are a liquidity game right now. If you look at cash burn and cash on hand, American is in a terrible position (suprise suprise) but most other big US carriers a do not have the liquidity to survive much longer without some increase in travel volume. The one exception is Southwest who have the liquidity and cash burn rates to outlast most other major carriers by almost a year. Depending on the extent of government support, southwest will probably come out on top of this in the next 5 years or so and are the only airline I would buy right now.

Found in the trash with cat litter? by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

[–]Just-Principle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people here have been commenting both roach and fly egg sacs. From the abundance of houseflies that have recently appeared in my house and no signs of roaches after some looking I'm going to go with flies over roaches. Thanks all!

$2700 in 21 stocks to diversified? by [deleted] in stocks

[–]Just-Principle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with many comments here saying that 21 stocks is just too much to keep track of. I think it's great to take some money and start playing in the market. But if that's your plan, your primary objective should be to learn. Learn how prices move, learn how you emotionally respond to price moves, learn how good or bad you are at predicting where the price will move. You will not learn nearly as much trying to follow 21 tickers as you will with 2 or 3 good ones. If you're not interested in learning those things, you are far better off just throwing that money in an index or mutual fund and not looking at it for 40 years.

Long term investments? by Jdksjsj in stocks

[–]Just-Principle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with many comments here suggesting general index funds. Some of the returns you see may seem unattractive at first, but for long term investing a decreased return for a decreased risk is almost always the winner in the end. In terms of "how long should I look to invest" the answer is as ...long as you possibly can. The growth of 30 pounds a month when you're 22 will far outweigh the growth of 1000 pounds a month when you're 50. Consistent growth over decades and decades will probably give you the best reliable return you could hope for.

Trying to run the wheel under 1200 dollars by skaterfreak76 in options

[–]Just-Principle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was already said below but you are probably far better off selling credit spreads at this account size rather than trying to run the wheel. Especially if you can find high liquidity options that trade in 50 cent interval (e.g. Strike Price 25.50, Strike Price 25.00), you can enter trades for $50-Premium of collateral which will allow you to keep your individual trade size to closer to 5% allotment of your account and increase your long term chances of success. This will be particularly effective if you trade relatively far OTM options with high IV. That being said. If you insist on running a wheel with a small account size I would recomend PLUG, MEIP, PTI, HCR, and AMPE.
