Need a recommendation for a mutual fund. The person will be depositing $12K initially and plans on depositing $100 per week via direct deposit. She is able to stomach some risk and will not be touching the money for a while. Any direction would be appreciated.
i did that with BRK.B last year, i initially bought at $114. i am planning on averaging up and buying once a year .

Going so low   im just saying that its risky cause it has broken barriers  that were unexpected.   Just IMHO. And if it goes up tomorrow dont come to me. Im just sharing my own opinion.  Not liable  for losses as well

BCLI, is a total Gamble in my opinion. I am in on it but only what I thought I can handle as a 100% gamble and can handle a total loss.
where did you get in ? I've been debating for a while at $3.3 then suddendly it shot up end of December to $9. And dropped back down to 4.

reminiscing of the 'good ol' days of SUNW. Plenty of predictable volatility.

Picked up ALK - Alaska Airlines today. The company's numbers are incredible.

Boy am I happy to still be holding ALK.
Bought at $28, it has been soaring...

OTOH, I haven't found any stocks worth buying recently, anyone have any value stocks that might be good?

Eventually airlines will lower prices to match the realistic fuel prices which will affect profits and share value.

Tickets are priced based on supply and demand.
I believe as long as there is healthy demand and limited supply the prices the can pretty much stay the same.

I don't think airlines will be running to buy planes and add new routes just because fuel is currently cheaper.

Don't understand your point.

Airlines have been making record profits this year BEFORE the drop in fuel prices.
The airline consolidation has effectively eliminated competition in many markets, so airlines charge what they want. Fuel prices shouldn't dent the prices, definitely not in the near future.

Actually, he's correct. People have more disposable income when gas prices go down and spend that on various things, including travel.
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

From today's WSJ article- http://www.wsj.com/articles/alaska-air-boosts-dividend-60-amid-lower-fuel-costs-1421936159

"Many big-airline CEOs have said fuel savings would generally go to the companies’ bottom lines, and not to customers, in part because demand is strong and the price of oil remains volatile. Any airline that deeply cuts fares could pay for those discounts if oil rebounds."

How does one go around the SEC law where one may not day trade 4 times in a 5 day period of his account has less than 25k? I've read somewhere that one can go and give money to a broker and you will trade under them but they take a ridiculous percentage....
