Behind Quickybuck's Back
I have been following this board for a long time. Now I think the time is right.
Quickybuck gone, I was able to get the quickyshares ID. He must be fuming.
I liked the concept of buyencana, with the share accummulation scheme,
almost wished I got her ID, but then I might go to other boards and for this
purpose, quickyshares is a lot better. I won't bother you if this scheme doesn't
work, but when it works, I will sure let you know. Since I have more money
I will use 500 shares to play with. The only thing I am not sure about is the
commission. I have to phone my broker and ask what penalties there are
for an odd lot of lets say, 495 shares to sell. I may have to discount them.
Any have any experience with odd-lot share sales ?-
You are quite right. I only do this as an alternative to my other investments.
I am holding TRP since October 2002, and ENB since about the same time.
I don't dare to sell them. I was looking at WFC in April of 2003 and I could still
kick myself for not buying them.
This new game is just for kicks and excitement. -
Or consider a longer term horizon.
Say I bought 100 shares of WFC (then NOB) in 1987 for 17.75. (Because I did).
That is now 800 shares (three 2:1 splits) at $35.
Now I could sell 50 shares now and then the remaining 750 shares would be "free".
But what exactly is the point. The original $1775 that I invested in 1989 was already my money. The entire amount right now is my money. It is "free and clear" if you will. I would only sell it if I had a bette rplace to invest that part of my portfolio.
If I had sold 95% of those NOB in 1989 when they made their first little gain, I would now have 40 "free" shares of WFC. I'd rather have the 800. -
<<Look at what I am planning to do: Buy 500 shares and hold them until
I have a profit of between 3 to 10 shares. Then sell lets say 495 shares
to recoup my original cost of the 500 shares. I would have 5 shares
over the rest of my lifetime or until cashed out that pay me dividends
or increase (also decrease) in value.>>
What do you do if it goes the other way.
Say you buy 500 shares and hold them until you have a loss of 10 shares. -
The time is not right and will never be right. Please, keep your experience to yourself. Be considerate, quit exposing the public to your illness.

Did you ever buy or sell an odd-lot number of shares ?
And if yes, how did it affect your commission ?
Now show how good you are and reply this investment question.
It is easy to call somebody sick, wacko, dumb ball, etc.,
but it is a lot harder to reply to a smart-move person.
