ΜΟΛΩΝ-ΛΑΒΕ
we're doomed

Only have $2500 to play with. Itching to see if I can get lucky again off my potus wager $

i have no clue about J Jill - but what i've seen in the past is that a women's retailers gets really hot,,,, then roughly a year later tank.

Chicos is probably the best example of this: http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CHS/?p=CHS

If you're investing in retail, have you thought about the discounters ROSS, TJX, BURL (although maybe too late for the party at this point)

good luck

I would short Snapchat.

Seriously if you're Jonesing this hard go to the casino find a roulette table and bet red or black.

just trying to support women's day.

Here's some good advice worth more than you paid for it: take your $2,500 and buy 3 shares of Amazon instead. It is what has been the undoing of retail and will continue to be so for the near future.

Forget about this IPO (from a former financial advisor at Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch ;-)

Here's a problem though - I bought amazon with my play money years ago and I can't seem to sell it. It just keeps climbing. I think today is an all time high.

not looking at this long term, does that make a difference?

The Whaaaa-mbulance is on its way soon. There's also the "Cry like a biatch" thread where you can post your unhappiness at your money-making.

Warren Buffet seems to have done alright with his buy and HOLD strategy. Maybe it could work for your too ;-)

Yes hence my casino suggestion . . . or sell a straddle in the S&P and hope like hell nothing bad happens.

Now, you're changing what you wrote.

YOU said invest; then invest.

If you NOW say you want short term, then stick it in a CD or money market and be happy you won the bet.

No surprise that a retailer is down in its ipo.

i threw a little money in this morning, opening at $12.75. I'll see where it goes today.

Keep us updated. Most clothing companies are in the tank. I've read the cheap "fast fashion" like H&M is doing well and the really high end stuff but everything in between is getting hammered.

I bought 500 shares at $12.75. Looking good this morning at $14. 5+% in less than a month.
