the "Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" thread -- how much stock did YOU buy today?

[nashville_brook]

for all the Crash/Recession-Deniers.

1. My husband is buying silver and gold

so far the investment is doing nicely against the dollar. Stocks? I've never thought much of them.

[nashville_brook]

6. oh but to have bought gold back when people first started talking it up -- around Y2K.

iirc it was around $400 back then.

[enid602]

8. volatile

The only problem is that buying gold is not really a diversified investment. Over the long term, gold prices have been volatile.

2. A couple hundred shares in oilfield services

Some index options (double diagonals on the SPX and DJX), and a few shares of an integrated oil/gas/mining company in Russia.

3. 10 head of cattle

[nashville_brook]

4. tee hee -- good one!

I'm going to buy some seed packets later.

7. the way things are looking

we may need them :scared:

5. Bought some more Pudong Bank at a decent discount yesterday

[kineneb]

9. paper towels and toilet paper, food

regular grocery shopping day... no extra money for "stock", only stocking up pantry.

10. Better question: how much stock are you KEEPING today? n/t

[sergeiAK]

11. Everything I owned prior to today, in addition to buying a bit more - nt

[Ganja Ninja]

12. $13.50 worth.

About the daily amount I have coming out for my 401K.

[Zywiec]

13. Not sure. I practice dollar cost averaging

and buy consistently regardless of how the market is doing. I'm a long term investor with lots of time for market corrections.

[DangerDave921]

14. I buy stock every day

OK, every month. I have automatic deposit of around $1,000 per month that goes to my broker who buys stock with it. I figure in the long haul, it will keep going up. And with the current recession, maybe I'll get some deals on some stocks! :)

15. Buying from 1250 to 1200ish SPX . Should be fully long by end of week . SP Futures and SSO

16. Interesting note:

Willingness to buy stock right now seems inversely proportional to the willingness to donate to DU.

[nashville_brook]

20. good one -- i have an excuse, been unemployed for more than a year and

can hardly buy groceries, much less stock.

[masmdu]

17. BTW Crash and Recession don't have to go together. I believe we are in recession but Mkt LEADS

the economy.

[tjwash]

18. Always. Although my emerging growth is sucking right now.

All my stocks have gone down a little over 1 percent in the last 6 months, although I am still up about 6 percent if you total all my gains and losses from three years ago to present.

[rucky]

19. Way ahead of you. I already bought a bunch of Bear Stearns stock last month.

:thumbsup:

[Droopy]

21. I put about $35 in an S&P 500 Index Fund last Friday.

Via my 401k. I'm 35 and in it for the long haul. I really don't know what is going to happen to the market, but I'm betting it'll still be around when I'm old and gray.

22. Um...most of my stock is in ExxonMobile

It's not really my fault. My dad worked for them for 35 years and I automatically got shares.

[RB TexLa]

23. ExxonMobil was one of the very few North American stocks I stayed in after 9/11
