Just man up and buy it.

I can't imagine that the ensuing fight would be divorce causing.

You may not get laid for a week or two... but is stock in the Packers worth it?

The problem is that you want to spend hard earned cash on a team because you love them so much and not because they are profitable. If she is smart she'll keep you as far away from that blunder as she can. But if you have a real hardon to buy it you will. And when you lose money you'll find new ways to hate your team. Is this really what you want?

That's what you say right now. And once upon a time people said you couldn't lose money with real estate.

Ownership[ of the team and how much probably determines what kind of season tickets you might be able to get in the future not to mention you ensure the team stays in green bay.

Green Bay Packers, Inc., has been a publicly owned, nonprofit corporation since Aug. 18, 1923, when original articles of incorporation were filed with Wisconsin’s secretary of state.

A total of 4,750,937 shares is owned by 112,158 stockholders none of whom receives any dividend on the initial investment.

The corporation is governed by a board of directors and a seven member executive committee.

One of the more remarkable business stories in American history, the team is kept viable by its shareholders — its unselfish fans. Even more incredible, the Packers have survived during the current era, permeated by free agency and the NFL salary cap. And, thanks in large part to Brown County’s passage of the 2000 Lambeau Field referendum, the club will remain solvent and highly competitive well into the future due to its redeveloped stadium.

Fans have come to the team’s financial rescue on several occasions, including four previous stock sales: 1923, 1935, 1950 and 1997.

To protect against someone taking control of the team, the articles of incorporation prohibit any person from owning more than 200,000 shares.



So, if you read that you will see there were no dividends paid on the initial investment. If you read further you will find that fan come to the rescue of the team with their investments. This would lead me to believe there is money lost by the fans that buy stock. Tessa needs to steer you away from this. You are not wealth yet. Owning this stock would INMHO be akin to investing your money into the team as a hobby with no expectations of ever seeing any return.

You cannot gain or lose money. It cant be traded, it doesnt do anything value wise, there are no dividends. All money from the Packers goes back into the team and community. You do get voting rights, some other frills, and you do own a part of the Green Bay Packers.

Oh, you would get a dividend....if they made any money. It was only the initial investors that were excluded from profits.

plain

Sounds pretty dumb man...

Don't get me wrong, if I'm loaded and my families future is secure I would totally invest just to say I'm 'part owner'. It's basically glorified bragging rights that bump you up in status as a fan.

As an average joe, there is no fkn way I would waste that much money when I could put it in a college fund for my kid or plan an awesome family vacation.

Save the money IMHO.

You're the one that said it will not make or lose money. And if that is true you will lose money. I'm so damn dumb I actually understand "the cost of money".

He's not listening to reason Trey. And Tessa is going to be the one that suffers. It's not a wise investment unless you just don't need the money.

So your team who is owned by one of the richest people in the world built a 500 million dollar stadium that you are paying for and you own none of it?

I think my Packers stock is looking better.

Hey, whatever it takes to talk yourself into it. How do like paying for all the miles of highway in your state you don't use? How's that working for you? How do you like putting meals on table of people on welfare? How's that working for you. Someday you might understand how societies work. Until then, stay away from investments that don't pay. Save the money for your kid's future. Maybe he'll be smart enough to support you when you can no longer work.

He's buying the stock for the same reason someone buys the right to name a star or property on the moon. He's not planning to retire on Packer dividends. If you're entire investment platform is really in a single stock, you don't really have room to give people advice...

You're probably right. But this has worked for several of us. Those that left it in the diversified 401K funds love lost hundreds of thousands.

Hell no, I only own Boeing stock. I bought it at $32 a share.


shoulda bought ford like i did! (i only bought $200 worth of it though, kicking myself for that grin )

or just stick it all in something like VTSMX


The only single stock that was offered in our plan is Boeing. I waited until it dropped as far as I thought it would drop.

And, I think people everywhere have lost money on 401K plans in the last 10 years.

Even diversified funds can rise and fall. In the long run it should work out, but you have to make sure you have the time to wait it out.

Probably worse companies to invest in than Boeing, especially if you work there. Still probably a good idea to spread things out...

i am not allowed to comment on your investment choices, however on a general note, buying on emotion and not diversifying is typically a good way to lose money in the long term.

packers stock is a buy in to the team with particular side benefits that we most likely will not use.

Thats not really 100% true, but mostly yeah. A lot of whether or not you lost depends on the offerings in the plans and whether or not they were actively managed by the participant. A big part of the problem with 401K's is that people just dump money into them from day 1 and dont pay any attention to the actual investments offered in the plans. If people would have actively managed their plans they probably could have at least come out even at worst. Probably an entirely different thread topic though as thats way more complicated than that and probably easier for me to say since I work for a financial joint.

And sometimes people actively manage them and jump ship too soon and lose even faster. When Boeing lost the tanker bid in 2008 Boeing stock was over $100 per share. And it plunged. Then, the announcement of the 787 being delayed dropped it more. And the market in general just crashed. When it dropped below $40 a share I thought it was time to buy. I was hoping we would win the tanker bid. I knew eventually the 787 and 747-8 would be delivered. So I dumped everything into it. Now it's near $80. I will eventually sell it....but not yet.

It depends on the situation, age, how many years you have left, the market indicators etc etc...

In either case I dont subscribe to just dumping your money into a bond/stock split from day 1 and just leaving it their till retirement no.

Fair enough. Definitely seems silly to not pay attention to how your money is doing and at least adjusting the split between stocks and bonds to reflect the market.

I just have to question whether the average investor has the diligence and dedication to pick individual stocks or industries and come anywhere close to reliably matching the market let alone out performing it. Most people seem to spend more time researching a TV or motherboard than they do their stocks and invest more on whim and emotion...

not if they are diversified and continually investing. investing $10k per year in VTSMX (total stock market) from jan 2002 to jan 2012 would be worth $126k currently, and investing $10k per year in VBMFX (total bond market) from jan 2002 to jan 2012 would be worth $136k currently.

even the majority of mutual fund investors do not have the ability to pick what industries & stocks are going to match the market. over longer periods of time (20 years), 75% to 80% of actively managed funds perform worse (after expenses) than whole market index funds.

I hardly think Cutt is buying a large amount of moneys worth of the stock tongue I figured one or two shares just for fun so he can put the certificate up on his wall.
I don't see it any different than buying a new computer or piece of art work. It's something fun that will make him happy and get to be put on the wall.

True, but there's always a certain level of "I'm smarter and more agile" that spites the statistics.

I'm with you, though. I think the average investor is wasting time and money trying to actively manage their account. I know I don't have the time to do my due diligence in picking a stock. Index stock and bond funds with the ratio adjusted in accordance with the market and a little in a gambling fund just to satisfy the innate desire to actively manage. Easier to stay disciplined with the real investment when you have an outlet for that desire to hit it big...

How about GM? Regardless of what company it is, owning 1 company is much riskier than owning thousands. You have a chance of doing much much better than the market, and you also stand a chance of losing everything.

Of course if it's a small % of your whole portfolio it's all well and good, I've got a few finance and tech sector individual holdings. But more than 10% of your portfolio in 1 company is starting to get too risky IMHO.

As much as I love the packers, the stock is kind of a waste of money. Sure you can go to a stock holders meeting if you really want.

Other then that you just have a pretty thing to hang on the wall.

back in 2007 I doubled my money in my 401k over the course of 1 year, even though everyone else was losing money. I stuck to the funds that focused on pharmaceuticals as a large part of the portfolio and it paid off.

of course, it would have been way more awesome if I'd had more money in there.

All I got to say is maybe I was trying to get Cutt not to purchase for reasons not listed in this thread....


Is it possible for plans to work out too well?


I'm pretty sure every possible reason in the world has been listed. Are you sure we missed one?


He'll find out at work tomorrow. That is, if he is nice to me.

turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

i am not allowed to comment on your investment choices, however on a general note, buying on emotion and not diversifying is typically a good way to lose money in the long term.

packers stock is a buy in to the team with particular side benefits that we most likely will not use.




you are allowed to comment on people's investment choices if you do it anonymously on the internet because nobody will find out

unless you allow your irl identity to connect to your vn identity

in which case, i feel bad for you son

i dont think you guys understand why Cutt wants to buy stock. Hes not doing it for any return money. He loves the team and wants to support it.

Don't buy it. Tessa already bought it for you as a V-day present. She knows you love the team more than her and has accepted that. Helmet shaped cheddar cheese sandwiches and craft beer will be waiting for you at home...

Oh, you would get a dividend....if they made any money. It was only the initial investors that were excluded from profits.


The Packers are one of the most profitable team in the league...


I hope you are just acting dumb.


Acting? It's Reap lol
