I hear AMD is a good buy.

If you're long on it, probably. They had a poor 1Q.

None. Every one of the 4 I went heavy on was a winner, though some more than others. Haven't decided where I'm going in Q2 yet, thats if i don't sit it out.

My uncle bought a second home in the mountains of Colorado buying up oil stocks when they tanked

Not really sure what the question is but I did this and works great. Choose the reinvest dividends option and they do that for you. The stock is on a 2 year hold until u can cash them. Dividend reinvestment has no hold. Easy to watch and manage if you go to computershare.com and sign up

How do you choose the option to reinvest dividends? I went online looking to do that and can't find the option.

I miss the thrift plan ,,, 6 bucks a week and great returns ,

It's there, or an easy phone call to set it up with them.

Wish I had more than 10k to invest when I made what was probably my best call ever. Facebook at like $20.

I just got locked out trying to log in. Some dumb security question I couldn't remember the answer to. Now they're sending me a temp password TO MY POSTAL ADDRESS. Are they kidding me? What is this, 1930?

Yes sir. Paid 7 and change for WLL back in late July last year, sold for 12.90 right around New Years. Stock price damn near doubled in a span of 5-6 months. It's like shooting fish in a barrel sometimes.

With reports of poor inventory data over the last few weeks, oil may be worth buying again this summer. We will see.

I beg to differ. I made an easy $2000 in the 1st quarter alone this year. And it wasn't by giving any of my paycheck back to UPS.

kind of a silly metric, i made way more than that by doing a whole lot of nothing

Not really. I bought them when they were private, before the split. I used my thrift plan money.

I took advantage of a tax situation and ended up paying almost nothing on the gains.

Honestly I don't want any single stocks in my portfolio.
