When you invest in public companies do you ever consider whether they will be good for the benefit of people, labor and environment, or just run with the flow?

I invest in any company that I think has a chance to rise in value and afford me some profits. Then I will spend that money and it will benefit others in the community.........trickle down theory...LOL

I was thinking about doing a stock investment group on the net to discuss stock ideas - Korean and elsewhere. Anyone interested? I am in the midst of studying to be an analyst so it would be good practice.[/quote]

If you start an online discussion group about stock investments, let me know and I will participate. You can reach me at [email protected]

Good luck with the analyst career.....very stimulating business and addictive..

My socks did overall okay in '"06.

The ones I brought back from Korea held up well and I don't think I have a single missing sock; although I do have two odd identical pairs, each with one light green and one dark green.

The socks I purchased in Costa Rica have, however, had mixed results. I bought some at a flea market that have already completley fallen apart, but the several pairs I bought at Auto Mercado (the expensive grocery store with real Gringo food) have held up fairly well.

I'd say overall, I'm a bit ahead. But I do predict my socks will do better this year.

One of the nice things about Korea is that you don't have to change your stocks very often. My feet spend most of the day in open-air slippers, so my stocks don't get skanky. The air circulation through your toes and around the foot in general is great for stocks. This is true even of stocks bought in the US market, but I suppose it is true for stocks globally. After all, US stocks are mostly made in Third-world sweatshops.

I made a discussion board or ESLers to discuss investments - stocks, real estate, business, etc.:

2006 was very, very good to me. Up about 36% on the year, mainly because I moved a bunch of Lockheed Martin over to Boeing after I heard Airbus was not going to finish their little project on schedule. Raytheon did pretty good too.
Now the Lockheed is moving good again.

Korea wise I'm looking at Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) I like to do my homework before I invest though and I have a lot of reading ahead of me. Maybe this summer. Cool

I am going to wait to buy when the market goes down again. If I were ready to buy right now, I think I would go for some based off of business in China. Korea is overpriced...

I havn't a clue on what I would use a broker and permanent bank account to link it up with. This deal with addresses and bank accounts when living and working internationally without owning property in your home country proves to be inconvenient when it comes to building wealth.

1st quarter over, how did you do? Any buy or sell recs? I did nicely on Blue Pearl - BLE (Toronto) up 130% since Nov. If you like gold - ARU (Tor) one of the biggest gold discoveries in many years but it is in Ecuador and people are concerned the gov't might go Chavez, but new Pres. is an economist and went to school in the U.S., could at least double from here.

Cobalt - could be the next uranium/moly - used in cell, laptop, hybrid car batteries, short supply these days, no pure mine in the U.S. FCO (Tor) will be the only mine in the U.S. - Idaho and also GMC (Vancouver) in Cameroon.

Still like uranium - SXR, Dennison, Khan....zinc - Hud Bay...Solar - MEMC (WFR)

Did anyone get Monsanto when it was around the $30 mark last year, now it's doubled mostly due to biodiesel.

13,000 wow! I'm fearing another correction here soon.

The discussion board was a nice try but nobody is talking there.

How bout just someone make a thread for general stock discussion. I'd chime in.

I'm still too scared to get into the market. I haven't bought a stock to this day.

I hope to purchase an investment property sometime his year, however.
