Investor tip?
http://www.al.com/news/birminghamnew...840.xml&coll=2
I lost a chunk of money on Cannondale (sym:bikeq) several years ago when I banked on them going into the motorcycle bussiness. The venture failed and now the stock is still sitting there at .05 a share. Maybe it's time to jump back into it. You guy's know of any other cycle stocks out there? |
Don't know about other cycle stocks, but I just checked out Cannondale. In the past month the stock has gone from .03 a share to .08 back to .03. Might be interesting to keep an eye on. I'd love to buy 100 shares for $3 and feel like a real tycoon.
http://finance.google.com/finance/hi...al?q=OTC:BIKEQ Giant (the world's largest bicycle maker) might be worth looking into: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=9921%3ATT |
I didn't realize Giant had gone public. They seem to be on the up and up. I see they plan on opening quite a few stand alone stores in the near future too. Trading on the TWSE:9921

I'm happy sitting on my no load index funds... :D

Speculation,,,that is what keeps the market going...and volatile, moving, hopefully going up.

That's interesting. Do you suppose they are buying into the Specialized and Trek business model? |

I'ld put in my two cents but I spent it on the Stickie thread and now I'm broke. :cry:
|
I bought Nortel before the big crash - if I had used the money to buy beer and cashed int he bottle return I would have been better off and been able to drink a lot of beer.

There is too lmuch competition in the bike industry for any real growth to occur. With the gas price problem, all bike mfr'rs will have a good year. So will LBS's. But sustained growth requires getting a larger and larger share of the market. I just don't see any one company getting way ahead on market penetration. There are a lot of good bike builders out there. bk

A 'STOP' or 'STOP LOSS' can be a life saver. Besides, you don't really buy beer.....you just lease it. |
Can you imagine a group of BF'ers manipulating the price of Cannondale stock?
|
If you can't afford to get into the stock market, then don't.
If you're in, stay for the long haul. |
No bicycle stocks here, but plenty of oil and gas, plus some defense, coal, copper, blue chips, and a dash of high tech. I have a few low-cost mutual funds, as well, but I generally prefer to own individual stocks, partly so that I can vote my proxies.

(Vanguard FTW!) |
Canondale is now owned by Canadian company Dorel whose stock barely trades. They are pretty closely held -- family "insiders" hold some 80 percent of the company anyway.
