what stock do you recommend to buy right now!
 

Hi guys I am looking to buy some stocks. not much but not too little either. I dont know if this is the place to ask these kind of questions but what the hell i will give it a shot :)

What would you say are a few good stocks to get into right now? no bullshit but just what you recommend and have the felling will really work out. let me know and if I decide to buy that stock and it goes up I have no problem with giving you a part of that profit for helping me out. I really mean that :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

Buy some Campbell's Chicken Stock for the Republican Guard.

I hear Air Canada is about to take off, pardon the pun :1orglaugh

nah that one sucked! I lost it all on cambell's chicken stock :1orglaugh

Acacia is pretty cheap these days :winkwink:

Enron!

Nah Bre-X is better.

the best thing you could do would be to find a few mutual funds and dolar cost average in. Most funds can set up a monthly ach withdrawal from your checking account.

With all the in stability in the world I dont see the US economy turning around. Once the war is over I think you'll see a pop. But then I think its headed back down.

I read an article a few months ago saying the 500 biggest companys in the us had over a million too many employees to pperate efficiently.


My point is that if you dollar cost in over 24 months your gonna end up ahead of the game.

The s&p 500 is about at a 6 year low. levels prior to the last boom. Think about it. your investing in the biggest. the cream of the crop of the US economy.


Depending on what your trying to do. You might want to buy some high dividend paying stocks. Stocks like GE, Exon, Disney, Citibank pay a nice dividend. if you catch them at a low you could make an additional 3% a year. And they are talking about making that tax free. It seems hard to beat 3% tax free in a high growth company that will probably give you 15% returns over a few years especially once the economy turns around.


To sum it up my recommendation is s&p 500 dollar cost avg in every month.

already bankin in from them as we speak! they are so hot right now! the biggest and best for me :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

grest tips thanks!

if you are looking for long term investment stocks, like 3-5 years, with around 200% - 300% return on investment (at least).
I would go with tech stocks which have crashed hard in this economic down turn.

like csco, intc, amd, sunw, slr

now,if you make cash from this advice, i want to see my money sucka!:2 cents:

enron is at lowest point now and its gonna go up soon.
if you want real sweet geam cash, buy it, dont hesitate.

I would stay away from sun. But blue chip tech stocks that are beat up are going to be good long term.

My theory long term is big blue chips are going to be great due to efficiency from technology. They rep the biggest benifits.

The key is diversification. if you dont want to buy funds then be sure to buy a few stocks.

Let me give you an example. This year I have bought
GE - kodak - philip morris - RJR = sears

I'm looking for high paying dividend stocks thinking that it will be tax free. so far this year my return is 5%

no terrible but I would be a lot higher. Guess what my mistake was. GREED. I bought 2 tabaco stocks cause of the high dividends. so when one got hit the other stock also went down.

If your looking for dividends be careful for stocks that pay too much cause it is a sign something is wrong. I learned my leasson with philip moris.

I always look at Ford. But cause of the tires I havent done it yet. Their dividend is a little high. I think that might reflect future law suits for those bad tires. What you wouldnt want to do is buy ford and gm.

When your in doubt buy the market leader. And try to buy on dips. PHilip moris is really cheap this week. But the reason is because there is a risk it could end up going bankrupt.

Anyway bottom line is. Just buy mutual funds. Unless your an expert its not worth the time. If I spent the time I do watching stocks on peddling porn I'm sure I would be richer. And thats me with a finance degree. At least I have some advantage cause of my education.

Invest for the long term. I honestly believe that if you get in over the next 24 moths dollar cost averaging. Into a few diversified mutual funds. And hold 10 years. Your going to make a lot of money.

I believe realestate is a bubble. It might not pop but its not going to go higher. Or at least when interest rates go up. prices will come back down to current levels.

Your best investment will always be to buy your home simply because your not paying someone else every month and you get that big tax break.

Financially your priorities should be

1) no credit card debt

2) max out your retirement account. (especially a roth ) unless your a rich web guy like the rest of us. then getyour self a Keogh plan = if you own a business you can put up to 45,000 year in tax free.

3) buy your home

4) save at least 10% of your salary every month. put that into mutual funds dollar cost averaging.

--------------------
remember cash is king. And spending money on your business should always give you the highest return. If you do it effectively.

the ideal situation would be balance of all the above.

that stock is gonna be worth: 0.03

less then blank white papers?

SONY for the long term should do well. But you never know.. terrorist attacks may be on the way and who knows how much that'd mess up the economy. SARS alone might drive some businesses bankrupt sooner or later which can create another chain reaction in the stock market.

I am staying away from the stock market for now but if i did get in it .. i'd probably put some money into sony, i have been wrong about stocks in the past tho. when aol once hit $25 i thought it was a buy but looks like its down to $10 now..

I guess what i mean is, if the economy stays stable and starts to stabilize more, sony can go back up to $40's maybe even higher.

It only an opinion. don't buy sony :)

alot of people are saying xmsr will hit big. you might want to take a risk with lu, however, i can see them pulling an enron.

No, they are tied in with Churchill Downs, the Kentucky Derby and all the major horse tracks directly.

They provide the ability to watch the races over the Net live on a private closed loop network.

tech stocks were cheap last novemberish. cisco was a great deal back then, but all tech stocks have rebounded and now they're not such a buy.

solectron looks interesting though.

stay away from the stock market, what makes you think you will be from the 2% lucky ones?

Good advice! Lost at least 10K by thinking I could beat the market :(

Believe me I know my limits. I am not looking to put all of my money into the market. I am only putting in a little bit to see what happens and I won't get out once it goes up liek after 1 week or so. I will wait quiet while and just see what happpens.

I am looking at tech stocks now and before I posted this message and I think Intel is a good one to go with right now :)

I'm big into stock market!!

Microsoft, Phfizer, Oracle are sweet!!!!

Don't laugh ...

I bought Corning at $1.50 per share and it's up to almost $6 now ...

yeah but for sure wouldnt buy that one now.. i'd get rid of it
if i was you..

JDSU is a tech stock that should jump again. Take a look at it and if you think it looks good, then buy.

But like someone said. Do your homework on this. No one on this board makes a living at the stocks, so maybe trying to find a board where they do would help you.

Or you could do what my wife does. Buy stock with the catchy names.

I hate her because she does better than I do.
