January 30, 201511 yr I've been so used to not having a car payment that I forgot to add I recently decided to get a new(er) vehicle and got a loan for it with very low interest. But, I'm averaging double payments and plan to have it paid off in well under three years. My other car had just gotten too impractical for us to take on the long(er) trips we enjoy. As I said, I'll take debt when it makes sense to me and I need to. For this, I'd rather have a car we can depend on to get us out-of-state than to rent or always be worried. With the low interest I just don't see it being too much of an issue. Truth-be-told, if it were still JUST me i'd probably still drive the other car until the wheels fell off. I never cared much about potentially having it go down on me while out-of-state and honestly I often hitched a ride with someone else going to the same place as me...or just flew.
January 30, 201511 yr Author Do you all use stop-limit sell orders on your stocks? No. I would have lost a lot of gains had I had one for AAPL.
January 30, 201511 yr So essentially the "common man" doesn't have a shot at them with their opening price? A lot of these popular IPO shares go to the major brokerages, which then decide which of its better customers will be rewarded with the right to purchase X shares at $25 -- and be able to sell them later in the day for $40 or whatever.
January 30, 201511 yr Do you all use stop-limit sell orders on your stocks? Only if I plan to keep something very short term which isn't often.
January 30, 201511 yr No. I would have lost a lot of gains had I had one for AAPL. Only if I plan to keep something very short term which isn't often. Thanks. A friend of mine says he has it on all of his stocks but after talking to him I think he has money invested he shouldn't.
