Is JOE worth buying ???

Why don't you share your ideas with us? We have been confident enough to tell the board what we do so all can see and respond accordingly. Do you lack confidence or conviction? Be brave and share.

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.

:roll:

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

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?
