Let's do some buying and selling with Avtovaz.
K, How about I buy 5% for ~385m
Since its our first trading we can approach a little cautiously (e.g., not spend all our money). Also, a little purchase will less affect the stock price artificially for our buy (the bigger the % you buy at one time, the more it will cost you- I think).

If that all sounds good, I'll make the buy during my lunch, let a quarter pass, and post updates. Then we can decide whether to continue holding or sell quick.
Also, think of any other research you may want me to execute- I can get it done too.

Also, as a warning: I will not panic sell. If things turn south, I'll finish the quarter up and wait for instructions from ya'll:-) This could get bloody!

That's good. Also, let's see if we can get some research on the software or video game industry, for when we have a good amount of cash.

Some action:
As instructed, I buy 5% of Avtovaz Motors
Spoiler: Initiating the buy (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Purchase confirmation (click to show/hide)

Our position after the buy:
Spoiler: Portfolio (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Financial Statement (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Tax info (click to show/hide)

I let time pass.
Avtova Motors' quarterly statement is issued on March 27.


Minor losses. Oiy...
Here is the worse problem:
Notice the current stock price: 52.24
We bought at 73.29
52.24<73.29  :-\

Spoiler: AVTO Financial Info (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: AVTO quicklook (click to show/hide)


So... we are down.
I advise we hang in, hold the stock, and weather the storm.
Another option would be to sell now, get out of the situation, but at a big loss.
Alternatively, we can buy in more while the stock is down, hope that maybe our action prompts a price jump and growth- and reap the benefits later. I do not advise this action.
The other option, which I do not think we have the resources to pull off, would be to influence the stock price with a third party.


Other requested info:

And

ALSO:
By the time I finished gathering all the research, AVTO stock dropped to ~45.

We should either wait it out, or sell and see what we can do with Oracle Systems.

Heh, AVTO was your investment initiative and you want to bail out already?  :P
I won't be able to take the action for a couple hours - so anyone else can give their input until then.

I just think we have a good opportunity with Oracle.

I say buy in more!!!

Things can only get better.


Yes, feel free to ignore me, if I was playing I'd probably be bankrupt by now.
