It will be interesting. I am losing a lot of money in my McDonald’s stock (I bought at 33 dollars but it was over 100 earlier this year and now it is only at 84). Walmart I have stock that is doing really good. I have had both for 18 years. The stock market has always been volitol but perhaps it might be more so this year. It depends on taxes IMHO.
Take your capital gains now!
Then technically your still up and it isn't loss. Unless you sell it at a lower rate, or the company goes belly up, you haven't lost anything. You purchases a "piece" of the company, and you still own it.
Run - dont walk - and get Aftershock Investor - and sell your stock ASAP.
We bailed from all stocks 3 months ago. A friend who’s made a fortune in rental real estate has a close friend who’s made his fortune in stocks. Last week he sold them all.
The market is a bubble inflated by QE1 - infinity, and its collapse is imminent.
Not good when you consider inflation on 18 years and then pay federal and possible state income tax when stock sold. Basically you could have done better buying tax free municipal bonds.
