Experience
I retired in 1996 at the old age of 39 by using city based utilities and leap call options. on stocks like ibm and wal mart because you can control these stocks for 2 years for ten cents on the dollar.
As of 1998 I got married and went to work driving Big Rig in 2004 so I could provide my 2 daughters,who are 4 and 8 as of 2007, with QUALITY AFFORDABLE health insurance. THIS job still allows me to trade but will cause you a slightly longer wait for any answer.. I apologize for This but my families welfare comes first..

Question
Hello, how are you doing? I have a friend that is interested in buying some stock in solar power. I told him that I would try to find some information on some companies that are into that business and sell stock. Since I don’t know much about stock I figured asking you would be the best way to find some companies or at least get pointed in the right direction.

He told me that the company that he buys his stock from keeps changing their name. I told him that something doesn’t sound right about that. Is that normal or is that something that he should be worried about?

Thank you for all of your help.


Answer
arco solar comes to mind

as for your friends broker whose company changes names

it sounds like a boiler room

i suggest you google the movie BOILER ROOM

ask your friend if any of the stock he has bought

is in profit

then ask him if he has tried to sell that profit position

IF that broker he is using is a penny stock boiler room

he may be getting shafted

I suggest he talk to a legit broker like charles schwab

1800 435 8000

and find out the truth

and old joke

broker to john

I got a great stock for you

its 10 cents a share

john says buy 5k worth

a month later broker calls

hey john that stock is 20 cents a share

want to buy more before it really takes off

john says buy 5k more

a week later broker calls john

that stock is 40 cents a share want to buy more before it really shoots thru the roof

john says no lets sell and take profit

LONG PAUSEEEEEEEEEEEEE

broker says to who

JOHN WAS THE ONLY BUYER

dont get stuck with wallpaper

pay the extra commission and use a reputable broker

and watch cat

its dropped like i expected

right after its ex dividended day yesterday 10/18

i am looking to buy around 68-71

ibm looks good at 105-109
