Just curious what sort of securities anyone here is invested in? I've gain about 83% over a year on my alternative (fuel cell) company. As the economy turns around, I think we can assume brick and mortar stocks will pick up the slack (GE, JNJ, BA, etc) So, what are you guys investing in? |

I'm investing in a better life. |

before I posted this I said to myself what are the chances I might get a serious reply. looks like zero........ |

ummm, well, nothing... heh... I'm investing in myself... all my money goes to school! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
This the best topic ever. I'm not sure what to invest in at this stage... probably an index fund for my long-term interests. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
although I'm now doing a course in finance at school where we'll learn all about investments... and I'm also doing a money and banking economics course... |

nothing.. money doesn't grow on trees around here |

what are the returns on a fund like that? |

I'm investing in a pension as I won't get a state one when I'm older. That's pissed me off somewhat as I'm still paying money into the National Fund for it. I may sue the government. Other than that my shares that I've inherited are all doing crap now. I'm not looking at doing any investing in the near future. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

that is why you should look at investing now. *I sound like a broker* the economy is show signs of life, like I said, brick and mortar should gain fine. While the over all market has shrunk 30% or so, smart investing, like I said, has yielded me close to 90% return over less than a year. It's not magic, and there is risk, but smart investing gets results, especially over the long run. |

a few thousand in mutual fund for health companies... and i've lost like $1500 in the last 3 years doing so |

What he said. |

It's a case of having the money to invest too at the moment. I really want to get into invseting but I can't right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know, that sucks balls I put about $1100 into this stock, and though it's about up ~90%, that's only a bit over $2000 now, if I had dropped, $5000, then I'd have close to $10000, a more considerate gain. Of course, $5000, especially now, is a large portion of my portfolio, and I ceratainly need not put all the eggs in a single basket. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course, you've heard the stories... If you had invested $300 in Microsoft in like '81 or there abouts, today you would have $800 gadzillion. So, over the long term, even a meager investment can produce large yields. |

I AM seriously investing in my self, money isn?t everything... |

But I?m happy to see that you are investing your money in fuel cells, echo - that??s better than guns & ammo I think.... |

I knew this board was pretty bourgeois, but this is too much. Electronic music must be the only musical style not to find its roots in the working class. Personally, I invest my money in nuclear energy, weapons and prostitution. I´m gaining. |

what is wrong with investing in the economy? Might as well try and do something productive with the money you have... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you shitting me? this day and age, anyone can invest in stocks/bonds/mutual funds I don't want to be a flaming asshole, but come on man, grow up. A topic about investing has nothing to do with the type of people who listen to idm. Steel workers should invest just as much as a suit. Money isn't everything, obviously, but it counts for a lot in this world, why not let it help you live your life the way you want to? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and how is this any different than someone working 3 jobs? I'm busting my ass to invest in good funds, just without having to sell my soul to some corporation from 9-5. I thought investment in securities would be widespread in such a well educated demographic such as idm listeners, that is of course. Might as well say that as we're sterotyping investors........ |

Cheers Blatant :D You've actually made me really think about investing money now. Hmmm, time to start looking at the finnancial pages again. :0) |

Am I not right? Name one genre of popular music not to come from the working class. And I could never imagine this topic on a board on, lets say, ska music or blues. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Steel workers would probably invest if they had the funds to do it. |

chill out |

I invest in synths and noodles. Good noodles don't come cheap thesedays! |

"Am I not right? Name one genre of popular music not to come from the working class. And I could never imagine this topic on a board on, lets say, ska music or blues. " I fail to see your point... so, because we listen to IDM and post on this board, for some reason we should invest, or consider investing? Why the hell not? |

I am seriously considering majoring in finance in university... then I could make my millions on the stock market! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am just saying that people who listen to IDM probably come from a certain part of society. You go and invest your money wherever you want, I dont care. I just find the topic a bit lame, thats all. And I still doubt that you can name one genre except electronica that has not sprung out of the working class. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Then again, I only have 50 points and you guys have invested as much as 9000 or more here. I bet you really gain. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"And I still doubt that you can name one genre except electronica that has not sprung out of the working class. " does anyone really care where a certain genre has come from? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Name it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jazz? Funk? Rock? Hip Hop? Blues? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, maybe you're right... but who cares? Does it even matter? No... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just find it an interesting reflection. And for me personally, I want to know why the hell I am so fascinated by small electric clicks and electricity oscillating as sounds and why I dont feel the same fascination for a saxophone sounding. And why wouldnt it matter? |

I really don't see how it can stem from what class you come from really... it's just a thing of personal taste... something about your personality... I suppose you can argue that where you come from shapes your personality, and so it does to a certain extent, but I still don't know if it has anything to do with this... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You really take up a stern position in your arguments. (Irony). Good Night. Nothing, IMO, is "just" personal taste. It all derives from something else, may it be class or anything else. Why do you think you listen to IDM and not German Speed Metal? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course your musical taste depends on class. My own observations says: workers= rock engineering-students= synth ...a friend of mine is a researcher in musicology - he has done some interesting work on this sort of stuff here in sweden... |
||||||||
|
|

ugh, well, this thread got jacked pretty hard listen, anyone can invest, and now is an interesting, and possibly rewarding time to consider doing so |
||||||||
|
|

|

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! talk about money, music, masturbation what ever... i don't give a fuck... but pleeeeeease, refrain from using the letters i d m to make any general statement about the kind of music this messageboard plays host to. thank you. |

i tripled my investment in 3 years time - its some kind of fond which really grew up fast...i'll probably take the money out this year (cos it doesnt look that good anymore) and invest in some other thing but basically - this fond is wired to our domestic companies...thats the reason im taking money out - before we enter the EU |

I think most people here are aware of what IDM means and that it does include a wide variety of genres. What do you prefer we call it, Bird? This thread truly shows how afraid people are nowdays to give labels to things. "Anyone can invest." "It is not interesting where a genre comes from." "IDM is anything", or it doesnt exist, yet we talk about it all the time without any misunderstanding. This is the place for post-modern, middle class kids to define their own group, just like any group defines itself by looking at what it isnt. So, come on, there i s such a thing as IDM, because we talk about it all day here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it took your reply to make me see what bird was saying....... and it was stupid. idm is a kind of music dood, get off your horse. Anyone can listen to idm as much as anyone can invest in securities I hate thread jackings, but I guess I didn't help matters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think musical tastes depend on your 'class'. Just because you're born into a certain class doesn't determine what you will listen to throughout your life. Music preferences are more of an acquired taste imo. |
