Topic: Investment Question

If this one company has:

1. An uber efficient and wise CEO
2. Averages an annual 25% return per share, and it's been that way for years
3. A share is over $100,000

Does this mean that:
1. It's a good and safe investment
2. That you will get a $25,000 for every share

?

Re: Investment Question

I think that means they expect the stock value to be 125% what you paid for it next fiscal year

Re: Investment Question

what shares are those, Birkshire Hathaway ??

In the US, ATM its all about industry.
With the Recession fears, money is shifting to different sectors.


I would invest in Muni Bonds, or T-Bills....and wait it out.

Or look for Gold/Siver mine stocks, Utility companies, etc.


Stay away from banks, and financial companies.

Re: Investment Question

hmm yeah $100k a share is mighty high. 

I'd buy real estate and wait it out, IF you know in advance what the property taxes are and can pay them.

Re: Investment Question

Im always a big fan of Real Estate.  You just gotta research the area.  Look for the Gem in the Rough.

undervalued houses that need little work.
foreclosures of course, but much harder to find than most think. 

Brokers and people connected to the banks foreclosure depts. know in advance when a good buy is coming on the market. 
You gotta know people.

Re: Investment Question

I'd go for Real Estate as well, it's reasonably easy if you do your homework properly. I made my first Real Estate Purchase when I was 18, with some *cough* allowance *cough* from my parents. They financed it, but I had to do all the ground work, they said I'd be a good experience for me, and it is. I still own that small apartment near the center of Schiedam, a town in Holland. It's price goes up quite a bit every year and I do some work on it every month.

Yeah, I spoiled, deal with it! tongue
