Sabrina’s Money Madness

I know that sounds silly but I don’t have the extra cash right now to invest in the stock market. There are some great bargains out there right now that I would love to get in on. The problem is that I only have a small amount of cash to invest every month. I know […]

Not doing a swan dive, but I’m going to tip-toe around the edge of the stock market. I’m going to start slowly reinvesting money to my stock accounts. I never stopped contributing to my 401k but I also don’t invest as much as I should be. My raise was really low this year so I […]

I have some money to invest and I just don’t feel like now is the right time. Of course it’s not a lot of money but I still want the market to smooth out. I know that’s asking a lot but for the market to be down over 300 points one day and then rise […]

I have 45 shares in one company that I invest in. I wanted 100 shares by this time next year. I can have 60-75 but I think 100 may be a stretch. It’s a shame because it’s a cheap stock too. I would hate to see how much I would have invested if the stock […]

I have stock in several companies. 1 company I have send me the dividends instead of reinvesting them. I know conventional wisdom says to reinvest dividends but I don’t follow that advice. I work in banking and that company is also in banking. The majority of my portfolio is in the banking sector. So I […]

I’m still buying stock even in this topsy-turvy market. You know the old mantra “buy low-sell high”? That’s what I’m hoping to do. I just wish I had more money to add to send right now while the prices are so low.
I thought I had only bought 6 shares last year. But I got my […]

I don’t really have enough money to invest at this point. But I always keep my eyes out for companies that I think have the potential for growth. Right now I’m sick and the majority of the cold meds that I’m taking are all made by the same company. One of the first investing principles […]

I have to use over $1500 to pay for school this semester. I have no choice but to take the money out of my savings which will leave my account extremely low. I have additional expenses now because of my car so I don’t know how soon I’ll be able to replace the money. I’m […]

Today is Veterans’s Day. There is no mail and banks are closed. There is nothing on tv so I turned on CNBC to see what’s on. I was surprised to hear that they were waiting for the closing bell to see where stocks closed today. A lot of stocks are down including Google. Good for […]

I only have 3 individual stocks in my portfolio. 4 if you include the stock in my 401k.  2 of those stocks are in the same sector. That’s because I’ve worked in the same sector for over 13 years.
I’m adding to one of my stock accounts but not the other. I need to get a […]

I was just watching one of the finance programs that comes on CNBC where they do a run down of stock prices. I saw quite a few stocks that were down by 10%-12%. If your money is in a 401k or you have a long horizon, you probably don’t have to worry. For those people […]

I’m thinking specifically of my stock fund. I haven’t sent them any money in 2 months. I’m supposed to send a certain amount every month. That’s not going to work out because I don’t have enough to send money every week. But I still need to send something at least every other month.
