Obviously knowing the potential for NFLX back in 2002 would have been a shot in the dark; and to think you're going to experience similar growth going forward is silly.
But if you do your homework, and you're right, it can have massive payoffs. It's simply a matter of diligence.

Bearings bro. It's all ball bearings these days.
I'm not someone else.

so what are people's thoughts on Volkswagen? This isn't so much of a stock question as a thought question due to this fraud...

They'll survive, might be a little rough riding for a bit. Yeah, they'll get slapped with a fine, but it won't shut them down. Also, if you live in CA and have a VW, watch out.mattkardish wrote:so what are people's thoughts on Volkswagen? This isn't so much of a stock question as a thought question due to this fraud...

US equities are in an interesting place right now.
I have no clue what happens next, but would guess more channeled volatility @ the latest level. Maybe even climb the wall of worry a tiny bit until some geopolitical event breaks that trend.
I am out of all individual stocks as of two months ago. Had to pay for vacation and, incidentally, good timing. My retirement funds are diversified per the typical age calculations.
If I was looking to add new money to the market, I would place consecutive limit-buy orders to purchase index funds at serious correction levels, i.e., far below where we are now (Dow 14000ish?). If/when the limit order expires without execution, place new order with the same limit or alter slightly based on new data. Buy the big dips.
