Is JOE worth buying ???

do any of you overly-caffeinated day traders ever think long term????

Every time I see this thread I wonder if you are worth buying? Do you have an asking price?;-)

I think I might go for about two bits these days. Some project that I don't know what the hell is going on, and that my price may drop to one bit very shortly, and others project that if I stay in good health, my price might go up to three bits with time. I must note that if you are paying two bits, don't expect me to do any cleaning or heavy lifting.

Heck, I have the cleaning and heavy lifting under control, and don't want to know what the hell is going on. (Ignorance is bliss.) I just like to be entertained, which is worth a lot more than labor or information.

Fifty cents?

JOE long term??....Nah, I don't have that much time left on this planet.

For those with not much time left on the planet, you could have made a quick 10 % on your money this past two weeks with JOE stock. annualized, that works out to...

Made more money owning the stock of a company (and taking some profits off the table) that makes plastic shoes--go figure.

I don't think it is prudent to do so...there may actually be some fools out there who would use real money (they can't afford to risk) and trade on information they read on the message board.

By my own admission I am a risk-averse investor--and I'm comfortable with my wins and losses. A loss that may be no problem for me, may result in crushing someone I don't even know....I choose not to have my fingerprints on those type of train wrecks.

I'm quite content with things as they are. As long as you traders in stocks and real estate keep offering up your ideas as the "deal of the century"....I'll keep asking questions to see if you can justify your decisions, and the studio audience, playing the home game, can judge for themselves.

My recommendation to those who are "comfortable" with their net worth at this point should consider investing in "experiences" and NOT acquiring more "things." I've not yet seen a Brinks truck in a funeral procession.

I will tell you this....I don't own any condo preconstruction contracts and I don't hold JOE in my portfolio.

Be careful, your arrogance is showing. Why do you continually have to be so condescending ??? Do you really think that people are fools on this message board and that they would rush out and buy any investment ideas you would share with us or would buy my ideas, for that matter ?? It is about dialogue, Shelly and not pontificating !!
BTW, one can be very comfortable with their net worth and still have "experiences". They are not mutually exclusive.

So much for a "risk averse" investor. Very inconsistent with your self description

Nice to see someone operate with thoughtful consideration.

Not my fight but...with nearly 5500 members and who knows how many lurkers...I guarantee there are at least a few fools on this message board and when it comes to following stock tips I am not discounting myself.

At the time CROX flew well below my "risk radar." When you saw whole beachtowns full of folks walking around in day-glo orange plastic shoes it wasn't difficult to spot that opportunity--it just turned out better than I expected (call it dumb luck if you will).

I'll call it something else instead, "Trendy." I don't follow CROX, but I suspect that the trend will fade faster than the low carb craze at all of the fast food burger joints.

I agree that most of the run-up has already happened, but I still think there is room for growth in Crocs going forward, and I pity the fool who hasn't taken some profits off the table and are flying without a net (not placing trailing stops).

All that considered, Crocs are "trendy" (although not my cup-o-tea) but they have gone beyond the plastic, orange, slingback clogs into more "stylish" (and some not-so-stylish) flip-flops, boots, and lace-up shoes for cold climates. Additionally, they have licensing agreements with collegiate sports, NFL, NHL, MLB, NASCAR, PGA and Disney and they have branched out into industry-specific workplace footwear targeting medical personnel and food service workers--each shoe geared to the workplace environment in the form of comfort and safety (i.e., ventilation, arch support and slip-proof tread).

Moreover, in October (just in time for Christmas :roll: ) they are rolling out a men's and children's clothing line (they say some of the colors will match the shoes--so I imagine some of them will be day-glo orange and--instead of feet--will make one's butt look humongous!).

This stock has been heavily shorted for some time, so there are a lot of bets that this company is going to fold like a cheap Dollar General card table; but I've got my original investment back and am riding on their money now, so no worries.

I suppose Seacrestkristi was on to something when she asked about keeping the orange vests on beach clean up day.

Didn't the Crocs recently get pulled from Hospital employees due to the fact that the shoes caused a build up of static electricity which was presenting problems for shocking patients and perhaps stirring up more trouble in the operating rooms? Maybe that was just a rumor. No matter, in five years, people shopping for shoes will think about Crocs as much as they think about Jellies. I agree that you buying a stock of a trendy shoe company sounds opposite of what you describe as your "risk-averse" investment strategy. Did you get the tip off of a message board?

She didn't realize that she was "fashion forward."

Would you like some Crocs to go with that orange vest Ma'am?

If I took tips from message boards I'd have gone broke long ago buying up dot-coms and dot-condos.

I prefer to do my gambling where they serve free drinks--having said that, in 2005 I took a position in Precious Metals and Mining :shock: ....I attribute it to maybe getting a bad oyster.

(BTW: I am a little overweight in cash right now....the next couple of weeks can be real tricky)

Yeah, Killer Crocs have been banned in Swedish Hospitals and in some hospitals in the UK...the static electricity is allegedly being blamed for shorting out life support machines.

....And here's a reason we should ban Crocs in the USA!!:.

I want what Shelly having late nights.
Care to share?

This picture says it all. When the people in the photo look back at the pic in two years, they will realize how much they look like prisoners on work leave, and that trend of Crocs will come to a screeching halt.
