Why Cricket and Cox

2011-05-26T09:43:00.000-07:00

Why Cricket ?

Cricket has without any queations the best phone planes . Starting at $35.00 to $55.00 for smart phones.
I went with the Blackberry. Why the Blackberry ? It is a great Phone for one ; and second I can run my Business through the Blackberry. With the Sharebuilder App for the Phone. Buy and Sell the Trades that I make everyday.

Emails , Text, and of course calling my contacts. Cricket runs off the 3G network for $55.00 , wow ! That is saving Lunsford Investments , money. Which in-return I Invest the savings , which increases our Holding Postions in other companies. Yes , Cricket Wireless which is owned by LEAP. Is a perfect fit for my company.

Why Cox Communications ?

This is a No Brainer not at all. Not even a hard choioce. Phone , Internet , and Cable all for $110.00 a mth. ENUFF said !!!!

Cox Communications , has the better deal than AT&T ; in Oklahoma.

Lunsford Investments , can grow by using Cox and Cricket.

Mouthly Liberties

To help grow Lunsford Investments , I still have a day job. My Goal for the Company is to Grow at least 10% a year. That includes our all of our Holdings. And to expand in to all Companies , that Invest and Hold in the future. The Botton Line is to Increase are profits by the 10% mark. Which I have projected , for the year.

Lunsford Investments already earned Doudled our Profit and our Holdings. By Investing in to REIT's. Our Company move some of our Capital in to REIT's for the High Dividend Pay-outs to the Share Holders. From the Dividend's from the REIT's , I pay our mouthly liberties and increase are Holdings , in Common Stock of standard companies.

In just over a year that Lunsford Investments has started , we made some Bad Choices to Hold , however Lunsford Investments has made a lot more Good Choices to Invest and Hold. I know that we will have set backs , but we will grow. And pay our mouthly Liberties.

Running a Holding Company

2011-04-15T20:14:00.001-07:00

Hello
I am Mike D Lunsford , owner and Prsident of Lunsford Investments. Based out of Oklahoma City Oklahoma. My goal for Lunsford Investments to grow 10% a year . In our Holdings and with our Profit.

One of the Goals for Lunsford Investments , is to own a Movie Theater. To make this happen Lunsford Investments has to Increase it's Holdings in the REIT's that it holds. The REIT's has a High Dividend pay out , to the Shareholders. Another move will be to Icrease our Shares of Ellington Financial llc. EFC has a high Dividend payout as well.

The next thing to do is to increase the overall Income from Lunsford Investments and our savings. To keep cost down will be a key in keeping on path for this goal. My company might be small and is just a year old to the Business world. However, my drive and real world knowledge , will guide the Lunsford Investments. What will hurt this company , or give it a set back would be making a bad investment. So , with that being said , right now more then ever ; I have to study and plan . Roll with the Market. The up's the down days , weeks , mths. I must not become sidetracted .

If I am , then Lunsfortd Investments , will have been hit with a knock-out blow. By the end of this year , Lunsford Investment have a Increase of at least 10% , over-all holdings and profit. And to keep it moving forward. Playing this Chess game with my future and my companys future is at the top of my list.

THe REIT's that I have talked about earlier , are one of the biggest key's to this whole thing. Holding the right REIt's a long with the right company Stocks , and pairing them up ; to Hedge the Market and our Holdings. To reach and to maintain our movement forward.

I have also have bought Quicken to keep up with all of our statements and read our spreedsheets and ratio sheets. To make sure that Lunsford Investments is and will stay on the right path to owning a High-End Movie Theater.

With everything set in place Lunsford Investments should be able to reach it's goal.

American Capital Agency corp and Lunsford Investments

2010-11-01T17:47:00.000-07:00

Lunsford Investments , is on buying shares of American Capital Agency corp.
American Capital Agency , is a very strong REIT. The shares are trading around $30.00. Which maybe high if you , look at other REIT's. Such as CIM and MFA , and Northstar. Which are trading between 4 and 10 dollars per share.

However , unlike the those REIT's , that pays a Dividened from .40 to $1.00. American Capital Agency , pays a whopping $5.60 per share.
That is music to my wallet. The best thing about America Capital , is that Lunsford Investments , is still moving forward in the Real Estate.

Instead of buying the Real Estate Properties , Lunsford Investments is buying Real Estate Investments Trust. With the market , still down. These is the best time for me , to move forward in the Market. It gives my small business , time to grow.

Not only to grow , but to earn a profit. I look at America Capital Agency , CIM , Northstar , and MFA. And other REIT's. As a Fresh Start , and the other Companies that Lunsford Investments , Invest in to as a Gold right now.

Lunsford Investments , goal is not to be Bigger and Better , than Berkshire Hathaway , or any other Holding Companies. I as owner want Lunsford Investments , to be able to hold it is own on Wallstreet. By making smart Investments , that will help move it forward.

And that is why I , have choosen to buy in to these REIT's. And in closing , Lunsford Investments , will stick to ther goal , to grow.

Thank you
Owner of
Lunsford Investments.

How you Hedge Chimera

2010-10-07T14:55:00.000-07:00

This how Lunsford Investments , Hedge in the Market.
For Example , Chimera Investments. As I started looking into Chimera , I discovered it is a spin off company . Wholly Owned by Annaly Capital Management, Inc.

So , I started buying Annaly Capital Management . However , I looked into Annaly Capital, and I discovered another outstandind fact. Chimera , is not there only side company. There are more ,there are RCap ,FIDAC, Merganer,CreXus, and of course Chimera.

Lunsford Investments , is buying Chimera , CreXus, and Annualy Capital Management.
This is how I'm Hedging Chimera. The same threory can be done with PEPSI , you can buy PEPSI , and PEPSI Bottleing Company. This is how , a little research and time can do for your money and your Investments.

For everyone of this companies ties into each-other. Now , Chimera and the others are REITS , and you are buying into companies that are paying back about 90% of there profits back to the Investors.

I have found that REITs are a strong way to help fight off the Bears. And if you can Hedge , these REIT's than your Profits will become just stronger , to fight off the Bears.

Lunsford Investments is now Investing into Anworth Mortgage.

As owner of Lunsford Investments , I am turning the page. The numbers do not Lie . The profit from REIT's , are to good for my company to not Invest into. My mom and dad taught me , well.
The Truth is in the numbers. Do the math for yourself. And you to will see that REIT's will make you a Profit.

Lunsford Investments , is not moving away from Stocks , not at all. Everyday , I wake up and my mind goes to work. On how to be make my Company Grow. REIT's are just another sold Investments to grow my Company.

And with the Strong Dividends from the REIT's , I can turn around and BUY more Company Stocks. The WAR is on , and you or anyone should not FIGHT IN A WAR , unless you are willing to WIN that WAR !!!

This was started four years ago , I did not start this WAR . However , I will fight it. Four years ago when I lost my Job , House and Land, my Girlfriend, and most of all my son. That Started the WAR , I spent the last few years studying and doing the research on the Market.
And when the Market went down , I saw the chance to move into the Market. And then a year later , I filled the papers to form Lunsford Investments.

Now, back today .
I am smarter and more stronger than I have ever been. I will make this Company Grow and one day , when I can either pass it down to my only son. That is if he wants the company, or I will just sell it.

I hope that my only son , would want to take over Lunsford Investments.

Lunsford Investments is turning to Real-Estate Investment Trusts

2010-07-16T17:05:00.000-07:00

As owner of Lunsford Investments , I am turning to Real-Estate Investments Trusts. Also known as REIT's. The REIT's that Lunsford Investments , are buying. The past few weeks it was CIM. This coming week , NRF and CIM.

And the last week of July , it will be CIM, NRF , CMO , and CYS.

Why , is Lunsford Investments is buying REIT's ?
The answer is simple the DIVIDENDS.

Yes , the Dividends on these REIT's are around 18%. And the shares are around $3.00 to $13.00 .

Lunsford Investments , is about making smart and profitable Investments.

Well , these are the buys for Lunsford Investments , through July 2010.

Chimera Investment Corp

2010-07-09T21:05:00.000-07:00

Lunsford Investments , has just bought into Chimera Investment Corp .
And I am very exited about this Investment. The stock is priced around of $3.70 a share. Which pays a Dividend of 18% which is 68 cents a share. So , Lunsford Investments , is ready to buy 100 shares. That will come out to $17.00 every three mths.
The $68.00 profit from $370 Investment. Not to bad. In way my fellow investors , think of it this way. $370 mth could be a car payment . So , if Lunsford Investments buys 100 shares a mth. By the end of the year . That would be 12,000 shares. Which the dividend payout at the end of the year would be $816 from a $4440 investment.

Which is the bottom line for Lunsford Investments, to make a Profit.

Lunsford Investments is Holding Midwest Bank

2010-06-26T20:48:00.000-07:00

Three years ago Midwest Bank was trading for $17.50 a share. Five years ago Midwest Bank was trading for $25.00 a share. Ten years ago Midwest trading for as high as #30.00 a share.
Today , Midwest Bank is trading for .03 cents a share. Wow , what a drop or is it aperfect time to buy ?
Ia m going for both. For it being down so low , it is the perfect time to buy. For what goes down must come back up.

Many banks has fallen , and some banks has fallen so far that they closed the doors for good. Midwest Bank is hanging in the game , for good or bad they are fighting to stay in business.

Lunsford Investments has already bought 350 shares , and is ready to buy even more.
Three mths ago Midwest Bank , was trading for .35 cents a share. Hmmm , it fell in all the way down to .03 cents a share ?

Why , I believe that is too good to be true . This investment will make Lunsford Investments , a boat load of money.

So , I will Buy and Hold this Midwest Bank Stock.

Lunsford Investments is coming close to owning 10,000 shares

2010-06-08T18:22:00.000-07:00

Lunsford Investments is coming close to owning 10,000 shares , in 19 different companies.
My goal for my company , is to own 20,000 shares , buy the end of this the year.

To own a Million shares of stock will put Lunsford Investments , on the map.

And , that is the true goal for my company.

Lunsford Investments is buying shares of Inding Energy and Mid West Bank Holding

2010-06-07T10:54:00.000-07:00

I have been wanting to move toward Oil and Natural Gas . And Into a Bank. The problem was which way to Invest ?
I could have went with the Big Boys, but I have picked out a couple of small companies in these fields.

Indigo Energey for the Oil and Gas , trading for .03 cents a share. And Midwest Bank Holdings , which is trading for three cents aswell.

Lunsford Investments , has already bought 1121 shares of Indigo. And I have setup my account to buy 1000 shares a mouth , of Indigo Energy. The reason for this strong move to buy into Indigo , clear and simple. A up and coming INDEPENDENT COMPANY.

Just like Lunsford Investments is a Independent company.

Now, about Midwest Bank Holdings, is a little different. The Bank , was moving strong just about a year ago. Just over a $1.oo share. I believe in time Midwest will rebound from these hard times of the Markert.

And Lunsford Investments , is about helping companies grow . Big or small , I will look into them and pick the best ones for my company to Hold.

As the mouths go on we will see , if Indigo and Midwest Bank Holdings. Are good Investments.

Another good Investment for Lunsford Investments

2010-02-22T11:52:00.000-08:00

Another good Investment for Lunsford Investment.
Here is the Story.

Google Inc. said Friday that it finished its $124.6 million purchase of On2 Technologies Inc. after shareholders of On2 voted to approve the deal.

Google said that as per its agreement with the maker of video compression technology, outstanding On2 common shares will be converted to the right to 15 cents per share and 0.0010 of a share of Google common stock. Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares, Google said.

Google also said it plans to buy back the same number of its shares that it issued through the purchase. The company will fund the buybacks with cash on hand.

When the purchase was announced in August, the companies valued the deal at about $132 million.

Google shares ended regular trading down $2.46 at $540.76.

I did not know of this deal. It was just luck of the draw. On2 Tech was a Investment that I have been looking at for a few weeks. I just wish I would have bought more shares of On2 , before the buy out.

So , now I own a little piece of Google. Thanks Google. Too Bad you did not let me buy more shares of On2 before you took over the company.

Doing Business As a Holding Company

2010-02-19T22:50:00.000-08:00

With a outlook on Investments. I have changed on the way I look at stocks. For example I was investing in what I call the Blue Chippers. The big Companies that pays a Dividend to their Shareholders.

Now , I am looking at Small Cap Companies , some people call them Penny Stocks. I however , see these Companies as another way to grow Lunsford Investments . In the long term. Yes , to buy and these companies as I do my Blue Chippers.

For example why is Six Flags trading at .10 cents a share ? I see Six Flags going back up to at-least $2.50. So I bought into Six Flags. Another example would be Midwest Bank. Why , is Midwest trading at .31 cents ? Most Small to Mid Cap Banks trade around $3 to 5 Dollars a share. In my opion. There is On2 Tech , trading at .69 cents a share . I believe this company will be like Sirius XM , and trade above $1.00.

These Companies , will grow and so will Lunsford Investments. For a bonus I will add one more to the list as-well, Blue Jet Airlines. Trading at $5.00 and change , I do believe Blue-Jet will rise to around the $10.00 mark.

Lunsford Investments will Invest in small and large companies , now and in the future.

Owning a Business through Common Stock

2010-02-07T09:20:00.000-08:00

Common stock

Common stock is aptly named -- it's the most common form of stock an investor will encounter. This is an ideal investment vehicle for individuals, because anyone can take part; there are absolutely no restrictions on who can purchase common stock -- the young, the old, the savvy, the reckless. Common stock is more than just a piece of paper; it represents a proportional share of ownership in a company -- a stake in a real, living, breathing business. By owning stock -- the most amazing wealth-creation vehicle ever conceived (except for inheriting money from a relative you've never heard of) -- you are a part-owner of a business.

Shareholders "own" a part of the assets of the company and part of the stream of cash those assets generate. As the company acquires more assets and the stream of cash it generates gets larger, the value of the business increases. This increase in the value of the business is what drives up the value of the stock in that business.

Because they own a part of the business, shareholders get a vote to elect the board of directors. The board is a group of individuals who oversee major decisions the company makes. They tend to wield a lot of power in corporate America. Boards decide whether a company will invest in itself, buy other companies, pay a dividend, or repurchase stock. Top company management will give some advice, but the board makes the final decision. The board even has the power to hire and fire those managers.

As with most things in life, the potential reward from owning stock in a growing business has some possible pitfalls. Shareholders also get a full share of the risk inherent in operating the business. If things go bad, their shares of stock may decrease in value. They could even end up being worthless if the company goes bankrupt.

A Dear John Letter to Friends

2010-01-30T22:26:00.001-08:00

This is a letter to these to guys , that I know.

Now, these to guys that they were smarter than myself. Always talking down to me. However, I just smiled and thought , they do not mean any harm.

Well , I guess they did , because three and a half years ago. They stabed me in the back. But , that was then and this is now.

One is a Xray tech that works a hospital , and the other was so lazy that he did not work for about five years and lived off his wife. Which he cheated on many times. That is her problem not mine. Now , back to the Dear John letter.

I tried to talk to you both at different times . But you two guys still acted like you was better than me. Why ? You two did far much worse , than I ever did.
I am not going to spell the beans , well atleast not right now.

I am just going to get the point. I don't care if you , loose your job. Your house your wife . Your money . Or everything you ever cared about that is your problem. Not mine.

I am doing fine with my job. And my Investing. Matter a fact I am doing , really well at Investing.

Which I am very proud of myself , from the all the hard work that I put in to it. And the Joy , that I have from the results.
Well , have a good life. Or have a awful life I do not care either way.

Like Donald Trump said , " When People that you know has , scrwed you . SCREW THEM BACK WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHANCE " !

Boys you have your warning stay away from me and my Business.

Sirius XM Radio posts subscriber growth for 4Q, expects full-year cash flow of $100 million

2010-01-20T17:36:00.000-08:00

Sirius XM Radio shares jumped Wednesday after the company said it added 257,000 subscribers in the fourth quarter and expects to report $100 million in free cash flow.

The stock jumped 5.8 cents, or 8.6 percent, to 72.6 cents.

Sirius offered signs late last year that it was starting to turn itself around after being battered by falling auto sales. It signs up many of its new subscribers when they buy vehicles. In the third quarter it shrunk its loss to $149.2 million from $4.9 billion a year earlier.

On Tuesday, Sirius said it ended the year with roughly 18.8 million subscribers, up from 18.5 million at the end of the third quarter. It marks the second consecutive quarter of net growth.

The company said preliminary figures show it made about $100 million in free cash flow — or cash after capital costs — for the full year. Assuming the company's July 2008 acquisition of XM had been fully integrated, that would be up from negative cash flow of $552 million the year before, Sirius said.

ING Direct is better than the Big Banks

2010-01-10T12:46:00.000-08:00

ING Direct is better than the Big Banks. Check out these numbers.

These are the rates on CDs from the the big banks.

Bank of America: 0.10% APY on all balances

Wells Fargo: 0.05% on balances up to $25,000

Citi: 0.25% with a $500 minimum balance

JPMorgan Chase: 0.01% all balances

Now , ING has rates for CDs starting at 1.25 APY . What are your banks rates for CDs ?

ING rates for there Savings Accounts start at 1.25 APY . And there Orange Checking accounts start at .25 APY up to 1.45 APY.

Why are these rates so great for ING ? And why are Big Banks fail on their rates ?

The Answer is Greed . The Big Banks are Greedy.

I just opened up a CD with ING , I already have a Savings Account with them as well. I also buy Stocks through there ShareBuilder account.

One of the CD plans with ING , is you can set up a Ladder of CDs. 6 mths 12 mths, 18 mths, 24 mths. And so on. And you can them have roll into eachother after their term.

Just another great way to make good money off your investments.

Jim Cramer’s 2010 Counterterrorism Stock Picks

2010-01-07T19:43:00.000-08:00

Last night was Cramer’s “Energy Shortage Stock Picks for 2010″ and on CNBC’s MAD MONEY tonight Cramer gave his featured stock picks in the Homeland Security and anti-terrorism sector. Considering the recent failed plane bombing attempt on Christmas Day, this sector enjoyed much interest last week. Cramer believes the real counter-terrorism stocks that are not the garbage speculative names are American Science & Engineering Inc. (NASDAQ: ASEI), OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS), FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR), and Cogent, Inc. (NASDAQ: COGT). His big feature and review stock for charts and fundamentals was in Nice Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE). Cramer did note that some of these are still up very big from lows and might need to be bought on pullbacks.

American Science & Engineering Inc. (NASDAQ: ASEI) scans for bombs and weapons in transportation systems and it has a $150 million order backlog with a market ten-times the company’s current revenues. OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS) is a new pick from Cramer and it rose from $22.02 before Christmas and went briefly over $28.00 to new recent highs before pulling back. Its 52-week trading range is $11.01 to $28.49. This one screens people and can detect materials inside clothing.

FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) is Cramer’s pick in security and surveillance that protects major companies and government facilities. FLIR closed at $32.72 and its 52-week trading range is $18.81 to $33.35. Cogent, Inc. (NASDAQ: COGT) is Cramer’s pick for fingerprint and palm scanning technology. Cogent closed at $10.28 and its 52-week trading range is $7.96 to $12.92.

Cramer also featured and reviewed Nice Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE) over tracking terrorism suspects based upon software for abnormal behavior for counter-terrorism and over phone surveillance. He then reviewed the chart. The chart looks solid to him because of higher highs and higher lows. The Real Money writer believes it has room to run up to $40.00 and is not really extended on its chart. The November lows came on very high volume that shook out the sellers. Cramer believes this one has been ignored entirely by the terrorism stocks and can have camera to camera reviewing. It has $500 million, about $8.00 per share, is looking for more acquisitions to make, and trades cheap at 18-times earnings.

WWE(R) Thanks President Obama and General Petraeus for Holiday Messages

STAMFORD, Conn., Dec 17, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- World Wrestling Entertainment(R) would like to thank both President Obama and General Petraeus for providing the WWE(R) with taped, non-partisan holiday messages to the men and women in the US Armed Forces to be included in our annual special, "Tribute to the Troops," this Saturday on NBC at 9 PM ET. This marks the second year that the Commander in Chief has provided a special message for the troops.
For the last seven years, WWE has traveled to the Middle East to entertain troops serving overseas in appreciation for their service to our country. WWE would also like to thank all those responsible in the White House, First Lady's office and the US Central Command for making this happen.
The request process for the President's video began in April 2009, when WWE met with Trooper Sanders, Deputy Director of Policy and Projects for the First Lady. WWE continued these discussions after Labor Day as requested. In November, WWE was pleased to receive confirmation from Matt Flavin, Director of Veterans and Wounded Warrior Policy at the White House, that a Presidential message would be supplied for "Tribute to the Troops." WWE supplied background information, as well as our production and deadline needs. We received confirmation on Monday that President Obama's message had been taped, and it was delivered on Tuesday morning.
We are hopeful that everyone, especially the service men and women of the Armed Forces and their families, enjoy "Tribute to the Troops."

2009-12-12T16:12:00.000-08:00

I own 60 shares of Sirius Radio. What will it do for me ?

Now , Sirius is trading around 63 cents a share. And I do believe it will climb back up around $7 to $8 dollars a share. With that said , What eles will Sirius do for me ? Sirius Radio talk to me .

If you do not know , what I am trying to do from the stocks . That I am buying . I am going to let the cat out of the bag. Yes , I am going to spell the beans.

In the some of the past post , I have writen I am going to WAR on Million Dollars.
However, I you have to have a ARMY , to fight a WAR. Think of it this way . Every Dollar , CD , Silver Proof Coin and Gold coins . Along with the Stock i have been buying. Are soldiers and weapons of mass destruction in my ARMY.

No , I will not use the riches to evil things . But to improve my life and my sons life. And not just us. Many others aswell. Such as my mom .

Going to WAR , is to back the down the system that keeps us poor. This a great country and I hope to leave my mark on this Country. Like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates , have.

So , this brings me back to the Head Line in this post. Sirius radio talk to me , how much of the battle will you fight me ? In this WAR. I am here to win this battle. Their will be no mercy ! To the system and the ones who run the system that keeps us poor.

I am not saying that their our OLD WHITE MEN with GREY HAIR that is controling our lives. What I am saying I had to stop my way of thinking . I have to do it for myself.
Nobody will give me anything. I HAVE TO DO IT MYSELF !!!!!!!

If I want to make Million dollars . Then I will have to make it myself. I will not win the lottery or win it in the casino. It takes hard work and knowledge. I have been working hard sence I was 18. But , I did not have the knowledge.
Now , I am starting to learn . I am ready to fight for my right. My Right to have the American Dream , my very own " Yes, I CAN " !!!!!

YES, I CAN make a Millon Dollars , and brake these cains of living paycheck to paycheck.

So , the war goes on.

Battle Plan to make a Million Dollar's

2009-10-21T12:18:00.000-07:00

Here at Lunsford Investments , the battle plan is to make a million dollar's .
As soon as I can. I do not claim to be the next Warren Buffet. And if I had all the answers , I would already have millions of dollar's .

So , let me explain my battle plans .
First step , I started my buying Wal-Mart Stock , from my paycheck. Which Wal-Mart adds 15%. So , infact Lunsford Investments already makes a profit of 15%.

2nd step , I opened up my 401k plan , from work. Which again I earn another 15%.
The 401k plan is not a sexy path to make a million dollar's. However , I the money is Invested every paycheck , and the it is a tax break every paycheck .

3rd step , I bought some Silver Proof Coins and Gold. The Silver and Gold Investment is good , but not much of a return on the Investment . However , if I would have bought Gold years ago , then Lunsford Investments , would be closer to the million dollars. Which could be the same if I , started buying stocks earlier aswell.

4th step , I opened up a free checking account . I know the free checking account will not make Lunsford Investments any money. But , it is used as a tool to move money . Which will be covered in Step 5.

5th step , I opened a Money Market account through ShareBuilder ING.
ShareBuilder , is a side company owned by ING , which is used to buy Stocks. Now , that I have a ShareBuilder account , I earn interest on the Money Market Account , which is better than a Saving's account at the Local Banks.

Now , for the best part of ShareBuiler. In Step Six.

6th Step , I signed up for Automatic Investment Plan , with ShareBuilder. Which I buy Stock every week.

7th Step , I set up the AIP , to buy different Sector's of Company's four times a mth. Such as week 1 , I buy Entertainment Company Stock.

Regal Entertainment Group
WWE
Disney
Marvel

Week 2 Teck

Waters
Verizon
Leap ( Criket )
Sprint

Week 3 Retail

Target
Nike
JCPenny
Wal-Mart

Week 4 Travel and Hotel

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd
Wyndham Worldwide Corp
Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Host Hotels & Resorts Inc
Carnival Corp

Week 5

Coke
Pepsi Co
Pepsi Bottling Group
Coors
Darden

I have my AIP , set up like a Mutual Fund. I got the idea after reading the investing books that I bought. Almost every book said that the only way to make a million dollars , from investing in stocks . Is from a Mutual Funds . So , I just set up my own kind of Mutual Fund . In my own way .

8th step , I opened a Saving's Account with ING , which has a nice Interest rate. And again I know that a Saving's Account is not a Sexy Investment. However , ING added 25 dollars to my account and they gave me a week in Free Real Time Trades. So , in my eyes that was a good return on my Investment.

I will add more steps , later .

Now , Lunsford Investments is not earning 30% on my returns , like Warren Buffet.

Yet , if my math is right . I am earning about 12 to 15% , from my returns.

This the first wave of the Battle , on the War . To make a Millon Dollar's.

WAR , on making a Million Dollars.

2009-10-08T12:05:00.000-07:00

I have read books , watched Video's. Looked at stock reports on the Web.

And yes , I know , I believe I can make a million dollars in about 5 to 10 years. From investing on the Stock Market. I know this what everone says. However , I already am on my way , to earn one million.

The first thing that , I did was start my 401k account. With 1% of my job income , yes 1%. Hear me out , the next thing I did was take out 5% percent in the company stock , from my job.
So far , that 6% out of my pay-check. Which my company adds 15% per investment. For example with every 40 dollar's I invest with in the Company stock adds 6 dollars. That is a win win for me. Now , at the end of the year , my company will add 15% on to my 401k. That right is a win win for me as-well.

Now , was this enough for me ? No it is not. So , I started buying Silver Proof Coins , and Gold. I did that for a year. And Now is that enough ? No it is not .

Then I opened open up , a stock account with sharebuilder . And I have set it up my
automatic investment plan . Which I have set to buy 7 stocks a week. At which whatever dollar amount I want to invest with.

Now , is this enough ? No not yet . However , I am almodt their . Now , I have the tools , I need to learn the market. And pick and choose which companies to buy . Like I wrote , I have read books on investing . And they all say to buy Mutual Funds . Why ? My guess is that is how they make a living .
But they all say that Mutual Funds , hold about 1000 Companies in the Funds. Hmmmm , now is these Mutual Funds , spead out your money into different companies . Then why cannot I do the samething ?

The answer is Yes , I can !!!!!! Just like Obama said.
So , I have set my automatic investment plan set on about 10 differnt companies. WWE , WMT , Nike , RCL , and others like Waters.

And my map of my plan , is to buy atleast buy 10 shares from each company . Then I have another set of companies that I automatic investment in . Such as Coke , Coors , and RGC.

Now , that is set up . I have another part of my strategy . ETF's , that is part two of the War. Part three of the strategy are Bonds . And of course my Money Market Account , along with a savings account and a High Yeild Checking Account.

The War , I started on making a Mikkion Dollars is set in play . And I will fight this War till I win.
After all I have only one Life to Live , and By God I will fight to win the War.

Recap on Lunsford Investments. WWE , WAT, WMT , MVL , and RCL. With a 401k , and a Money Market Account.

What is next for Lunsford Investments ? Well , I am looking at ETF, more stocks to purchase.

How Do I make a Million Dollars ?

2009-09-13T02:17:00.000-07:00

How Do I make a Million Dollars ?

That is a question that I have been asking myself for a long time . Well , I wish I had the answer. To it. I am not going to say invest your money. Or start your own business.

Because everyone will say that. What I will say , do not give up . In whatever your dream maybe. Take time to and plan . Join a group of people that share the same dream . Network , yourself. I do not have a million dollars. I do stay on the track , and I do adjust my goals , so my dream does come true.

I read a blog a few days ago , and this woman said that her saved enough money , to have million. The woman said it was no big deal. I felt like picking up my Labtop , and throwing it across the room .

How can that not be a big deal ? If it is not a big deal , then why are their shows on making a million dollars and books.

My dream is to become a rich man for my son. And to take of him long after am gone. Not only that , but to make a real differnce in this world.

Well , work hard on your goals , and you can make a million dollars.

Iron Man , WWE , and Walmart Triple-Threat

Now that Lunsford Investments now owns this Triple-Threat of Stocks. Lunsford Investments is going to grow far in the Investing World. Am going to put the Smack-Down on Wall-Street.

I just placed another order for all three stocks. Lunsford Investments , has NO FEAR !!!!!!!

I just do not understand why , people do not jump on the Stock Market. It is not hard just do your Homework. The first thing put money into Companies that you know. The reason I picked Walmart , is I work there. And I signed up for the Stock progam. Walmart will add 15% to what ever you buy with.
Ok , Walmart pays their workers every other week. So if you put 20 dollars in the stock purchase progam , they will add 3 dollars to your purchase.

That is how I started. What I do , is buy some Walmart stock . Let it build up to a certain amount. Then sell off half of the stock, and then I will move the money into a Money Market Account. To purchase other Stock, in different companies.

I started buying Marvel , cause I love their Movies. And when I was a kid, I loved their comics and cartoons. So I new the company and I loved their product.

WWE , has the same story as Marvel. When I was a kid , I loved watching the WWE's show. Their again I new the company and I was a fan.

The WWE and Marvel , are both in the Movie Business. And anyone who knows me , can tell you I LOVE GOING TO THE MOVIES !!!!!!

And this brings me to another couple of companies , that will invest in. Disney and Dreamworks and VIACON.

Why all three ? Cause I love all movies. And I believe that Lunsford Investments will make money , on all three.

Lunsford Investments , is putting the SMACK-DOWN on Wall Street !!!!!

Marvel Stock is now part of Lunsford Investments

2009-09-05T23:21:00.000-07:00

Marvel Stock is now part of Lunsford Investments.

I have already placed a order for Marvel stock , a week ago . Just a few days before Disney made the deal to buy Marvel. So I do feel pretty good about the stock. Now with Disney and Marvel together , am sure that the stock will stay near the 45 dollar range.

And I am thinking about buying Disney as well .

So lets recap, Lunsford Investments now owns WWE Stock, Walmart Sock, Marvel Stock and Silver Proof Coins , Gold, and my Money Market account and a 401k plan.

Not bad to start out with.

Lunsford Investments will grow and will look for a strong companies that I belive are good Investments.

WWE Stock

2009-08-26T12:13:00.000-07:00

I just bought more WWE Stock, I feel good about WWE Company.

And I have smile on my face . To know that how I own just a small part of WWE.

The WWE , is a great company. I plan on buying more WWE stock in the weeks to come.

Going to Maui

2009-08-22T23:53:00.000-07:00

Going to Maui.

I the business is doing so well. I am planing a vaction. Yes , I am going to Maui. I have always wanted to see Hawaii.

And now , that I am making good money on my investments. I have booked a vaction in Maui.

It feels Damn Good , to say that my Investment Business , is doing that good that I can take a vaction to Hawaii.

Lunsford Investments, has just opened a Money Market Account

2009-08-22T23:37:00.000-07:00

Lunsford Investments, has just opened a Money Market Account.

Now , with my Wal-Mart Stock , 401k , Silver Proof Coins , and my WWE Stocks. Lunsford Investments , now has a Money Market Account. To add to the
Portfolio.

The Money Market Account , is going to be used as a tool , to buy more stocks. And to earn dividends. Next for Lunsford Investments , is another checking account and another savings account.

I already have both for personal use. Now , I need to open a savings and checking , for the business.

So my Investing Business is doing well.

When I invest more , and into what companies , I will let my readers know.

Lunsford Investments has just moved Forward

2009-08-22T01:16:00.000-07:00

Lunsford Investments has just moved Forward.

Working for Wal-Mart , I buy Wal-Mart Stock , through their Stock Opp Plan . So I have about 100 shares so far. And I have been buying Silver Proof Coins as well.

However , that is not enough for Lunsford Investments. So I have been trying to find a good way to buy different stock , from other companies.

I have been looking for a while , along time . After I am in a business to make money.

Now I found the right Bank, for me to buy stock through. ING's ShareBuilder. ShareBuilder, is perfect for me.

It lets me buy, in Dollar's not shares. And, if I only want to buy $20.00 at a time . Then I can.
Only four Dollars a trade.

Needless to say I opened account with Sharebuilder, and I bought 10 Shares of WWE Stock.
Alright, do not laugh. WWE, makes money . And yes , I do watch the shows when I can.

WWE stock was trading right under $15.00 a share , so I spent right under $150.00.

And I have now have a way to increase , my Company's Business.

First Rule in my Business ,

MAKE MONEY !!!!!

Second Rule ,

MAKE MONEY !!!!!

Third Rule ,

MAKE MONEY !!!!!
