[QUOTE="Char, post: 261580, member: 10877"] This is not meant to offend anyone but I know alot of you union guys are liberals or democrats (only god knows the reason why,) just pick the companies you guys hate the most and invest in them. I own Wal Mart, Exxon, a little Halliburton, a sliver of google, a basket of pharmecuticals, and gold. Why gold, gold has never been worth $0. I started buying gold in 1998 when it was $250/oz. It is now worth about $800/oz. If you purchased only 1oz per week from 98 to 07 you would have about $150,000 in profit and a net worth of around $300,000 maybe $400,000. When Bill Clinton allowed the oil companies merge (Exxon Mobile, Chevron Texaco, etc) oil was about $10 or $15/barrel. The price could only go up for 3 main reasons. 1. $10-$15/barrel is obscenely low and could only go up from there. 2. Oil company mergers mean less competition which in turn means higher prices. 3. The United States has not increased refining capacity since the 1970s (thank you environmentalists and the Democrats they own) while demand for gasoline was growing from economic prosperity and population increases. Insufficient refined product means either shortages which require rationing and high prices or import refined product which raises prices. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Wal Mart offers low prices that attract large segments of the population not just poor people. You can accuse them of paying low wages or they don't offer good healthcare, but the fact of the matter is that their wages are comparable to its competitors and they offer the same crappy healthcare options that most companies offer entry level paid employees. It is a smart investment. Halliburton is a company that is capable of doing jobs very few companies if any, are able to do. Libs love to say that they carry favour with Republicans but the fact is Democrats are just as cozy. They grow steadily in revanue every year, stock splits, dividends, $25/per share 1998, $39/per share today. American Pharmecuticals companies are the only ones discovering new drugs that save lives and improve the quality of life. Since most other countries that would otherwise be capable of competing have socialized government run healthcare. Which means price controls which in turn means less funds for reasearch and developement which means less revanue. Another safe bet. Google is a little more risky. In fact, I amazed that I still hold it but it is only a matter of time before they will suffer the fate .coms experienced in the late 90s. The risk is high but the potential payout is also high. Other than that, be married before you have kids, finish high school/college before you get married. Don't depend on governemnt/ don't trust the govenment or anyone else for that matter to take care of you or make decisions that are in you and your familys best interest for you. Finally live within your means. And if any politician democrat or republican tell you that they want to give you something for free (healtchcare, retirement, baby bonds, prescriptions, child care, etc) know that nothing is free and the only thing they seek is your freedom and self reliance. You don't need a college degree to figure this out, just a little common sense. It 1998 when I started planning, I was 19 years old. Char [/QUOTE]
