man that company has really taken a dive if you can afford to buy it. you should move the headquarters to MN.ickle:

edit: (actually on a more serious note, I think buying a forclosed property is a much better bet than stocks right now...if you can afford it. $200k houses selling for $50k, its just so sick.)

You'd have to be willing to sit on that investment for awhile, but yes, if you could afford to have a 50-100k mortgage on the side for a year or so, you'd probably do quite well when things pick back up.

Lazy response: Buy anything and everything you can right now.

I would recommend against buying when you see the light, buy when it feels the most uncomfortable. Usuaully when you see the light its already too late for some of the really big percentage moves. IMO.

This is solid advise. .

Buy low, sell high.

bought some ford stock today, that seems to be doing well

How do people feel about Best Buy right now? There seems to be a lot of thought that as other electronics retailers close stores or even go under that Best Buy is in a good position to grab up a lot of that market share.

I'd say Best Buy is a toss-up, considering they just offered voluntary buyouts to their corporate employees.

I'd wait til after the q4 report comes out. I have a feeling if anyone, they'll weather the storm, but if you were going to buy in, let the buyouts scare everyone first, and drop it a few bucks. That reminds me, I should go buy some Ford too. Maybe if we all buy enough of it, we can own Ford for ourselves, and make good cars.

Tom, the Ford family has too much voting power for outside investors to have significant influence.

yeah, BB does look promising, as circut city looks like they wont be here in the next 3 years, its something im looking into, but i think ill hold off for a while, as everybody is not waisting all their moneys for xmas this year
