Would Buying Stocks in Halliburton, be a good idea?

Question

I am thinking about investing in the stock market now, and Halliburton seems like a good idea.

I mean:

Iraq loses lives
New Orleans loses Jobs
American People loses privacy through the patriotic act
Halliburton wins it all

so what the heck right?

winemaker- dont YOU have any friends. And when you actually JOIN a military branch, then tell me that I don't have the right to support my branch. until then, just run along and play with yourself.

Answer 1

Don't forget that they are also moving to Dubai to avoid paying taxes on their blood money. It seems like a sound investment.

Answer 2

Halliburton is an oil services company. They are planning on spinning off their subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown and Root as an independent company. This is a construction company that is doing most of the work in Iraq. This is where Haliburton is making the big money, not oil. I would buy stock in KBR when they are a stand alone company. By the way KBR has contracts all over the US doing road building and public works projects.

Answer 3

Another ill informed under educated wanna be posts a worthless question on a worthless board.

It's Friday night kid, don't you have any friends that you can share your crack with.

BTW, why are you using a military insignia as your avatar, do you have a small penis?


Hello there wanna be.I have been in two branches of the Military, the United States Marine Corp, 1971 to 1974, and the United States Air Force Combat Search and Rescue 1976 to 1979.

Punk.

Answer 4

If you feel confident in their future financial success, WHY NOT?? Frankly when I read/hear of anyone complaining about so called "war companies"making money , I wonder aloud why they don't stop whining & purchase stock in a company they are certain will be more profitable in the near future!

BTW , most folks don't realize it but companies like GE, Hummer & Boeing , (to name a few) make money w their production & sale of war related products & equipment...it's not just Halliburton.

Not clear on what lost jobs in New Orleans have to do w Halliburton, Iraq, or ??. Most of the issues facing them are primarily city & state oriented.

Answer 5

Halibut may be a great stock investment,although at this time there seems to be a very certain caution involved with diverted funds that are not accounted for in the public share.The stock you share is only the leavings of the head and taiol

Answer 6

You are going to be a disgrace to the military. Have fun trying to get in though! If you do, you'll be recycled so many times it'll make your head spin, punks like you, you're too big of a wuss for basic and combat for that matter. You are a sad excuse for a human. Oh, "YOUR" branch? Kid you aren't even enlisted, so quit running your mouth. The military is for men, not little boys.

Answer 7

Hey, the Halliburton hater George Soros owns their stock. Stocks are all about the future and Halliburton has a great one.

Answer 8

I think burton has peaked... war is unpopular, another unlikely... I would sell high, if I had any...

it's time for the cons to cash out, throw a party and live like kings off the profits...

and most people don't invest because most are living pay check to pay check... according to the census, the median income is like $24,000 a year... but that's "their fault" right?

Answer 9

Michael Moore and George Soros think so, the trick is sell out when Soros starts telling everyone else to buy it.

Answer 10

relies upon what a while horizon is. Are you finding for a quick-term commerce or are you finding for a protracted-term investment? try to recognize this before you place your money to artwork...fairly while we are on the tail end of a bull industry.
