Anyone been watching Deere or CNH stock? Doing very good. A have a freind who works in a CNH dealer. They are having one of the best years ever. I wondering if it is too late to get into the stocks??
 
Don't you think you should ask a stock broker that question?
 
If they are really high, I wouldn't get in now unless it is almost certain they will keep going up. Look them up on the internet on sights like Money.com or kiplingers. Read up on what is going on in those companies. Also see if there is some sort of pattern to the prices. Ex: Some stocks go up in the summer then down in the winter. IMO buy when they are low and sell when high. ;-) :nod:

Some of the worst advice we have received came from a stock broker. I don't know for sure but I personally think they get kickbacks when they get you to buy certain stocks.
 
Watching the stock market makes my heart rate flutter. Best to keep everything in a blended margin of value equity stocks and look at statements when they come. Keep some of it in conservative savings and risk some too.
 
I don't know what those stocks are doing but stocks in general have been taking a dive this week.

Just think of them as going on sale like a department store sale.

Load up while they are on sale, unless you are in the cattle business, 'cuz we all know you don't have any extra money.

Both stocks have been very strong. They have held up better than the broad market in it's current sell off. They have both had good runs. Looks to me like technical indicators for cnh on a daily basis are a little weak. I think it wants to go down short term. Might wait for both to correct down before buying.

If you buy make sure you decide how much you can afford to lose and set a stop loss for that amount at the same time you buy. The market and poker are the same. The most important thing is to not lose too much. If you can take care of the risk, profits will take care of themself.

If you hear a broker, TV people,or anybody else say not to worry about the market going down and to stay in for the long haul-grab your money and run for the nearest exit. Sooner or later that long haul is going to be a long way down. I don't know when. Could be now.

Wise words those that make big lose big as well. But then again I have always had a bearish outlook on the market.
 
IMO these are the people that "always" make money, regardless of their advice and their customers' success:

  • 1. Stock Brokers
    2. Financial Advisors
    3. Attorneys
    4. Las Vegas Casinos (and other Casinos)
    5. State Lotteries

    Their "commissions" always come off the top...what's left (if anything) is yours to keep and apply against your other losses... ;-)
 
Read some of the motley fool articles. They seem to be on the money most of the time.They use the Warren Buffet approch when evaluating stocks.

Bill you are not far off. I could add a couple more to your list. :mad:

Happy I happened to notice that this is your first post, and a good one. I believe your grandpa had a strong point.
 
I'm in Corn country. Let me tell you we are seeing $4.00 corn. A producer can lock in some very good profit three years out. When Farmers make more money they spend more. I'd rather buy myself a new truck or farm equipment than pay uncle sam taxes. This ethonal production is real. I'm not saying it is the answer but it is a start in the right direction. From what I can see it is all positive. In closing I'll make this comment that is somewhat revelent: Remember the Gold rush of the 1800"s Who got rich? the Miners....no....it was the person who sold the shovel to the Miners!! :)

Absolutely the worst product we could have picked for the country to make ethanol out of.
This is an energy loser, the only people this benifits is the corn lobby.
There are many agricultural crops have much better yields with lower inputs.
Corn ethanol makes us more dependent on overseas oil not less.
 
Campground cattle...I'm not going to argue with you about IF ethonal is bad. That is not yesterday's news...that's last years news. Look if there is something better out there it will spring up. Celliuous ethonal has much more potential. The probelm..it isn't cost effective to produce. Yet they are starting to build these plants. Why?? They understand through technology advancements in time it will become affordable. Brazil has been burning Ethonal since the 70's. I'm all for alternative fuels whatever it may be. Look at what this post is about. Stocks! Let us not cloud our opinion with emotion but with the facts! :) . Better yet let's make some money!! :) :) .

Let's face facts you brought up ethanol in this thread.
You are getting pocket lined by a product that has had billions in subsidy pumped into. Fact corn is a loser.
Fact Brazil makes ethanol from sugar cane which is much more efficient than corn. Fact Brazils oil reserves along with ethanol are enough to make it self sufficient , it does not have a 20 million barrel a day appetite. Wood pulp is more efficient than corn well actually dang near everything is more efficient than corn.
This is again were the American loses due to Lobbyist.

With out researching the particular stocks, I tend to have a gut reaction against stocks that have been doing real good for a while. The stock market tends to be very emotional. People will continue to buy a particular stock because it is doing good, which artificially inflates the price of the stock. At some point the stock will correct it's self and then people will lose their money. Just like the teck boom of the 90's. What you need to look for is undervalued stock. I'm not good enough to find these on my own. ;-)
 
I view stocks very similiar to viewing any sporting team. Buy when the stocks are doing well.

i.e. A team that is on a roll is more likely to continue doing well. A team that has all the right parts but for some reason isnt doing well will most likely miss the playoffs that year. (so to speak).
