I just daytrade or swingtrade stocks/forex long term ain't my thing but look at the biotech sector, some big money making innovations will come soon.

And remember mags and advisors just do it for their own profit and normally don't know more than anybody else.The days for rock solid long term with big companies are gone, they die like flies atm.

SDS - SunGard Data Systems on NYSE

my buddy is the Mktg Director and i always here about the (good) news

that stock has taken a hit over the past few months.

yeah its been doing realy well. the PE ratio is pretty high though.

You know how they make money right?

wireless products right? no doubt that market is only growing

wireless products yes. Goes a bit further than that though. They are a fabless semiconductor house. meaning, like nvidia, they create the product, and have someone else build it. Less cost to them, and massive patent royalties. Places like motorola, ericcson, samsung, sanyo, etc, all pay royalties.

That, plus the 3g data bits, make owning qcom stock a worthwhile 'risk'. I own, well, a lot of it. .

buy low and sell high

Check out IMNY, was a $1.30 a few months ago, then went down to .60. Now its backup to the .90 range, with instituions owning 51% of the outstanding shares . We are thinking its a takeover target with a $1.75-$2.50 price range. They currently have .51 a share in cash on hand. Click For Chart

I have 50k shares myself and have been playing it up and down, but it seems like there is a takeover coming and it should make a nice profit for everyone who owns shares. Do you research and buy some if you feel its a good buy

I've made a killing with XMSR.
Digital Satelite subscriptions is fucken huge and stands to be huge for a number of more years as the systems expand to further media types.

Food and drink.

Pepsi or Coke. Long term investment... :) It will only keep going up.

GNCI don't buy more than 2000 shares (cause it will inflate for no reason) but it is suppose to 10 fold in 3 quarters

Forex is the way to go, and short term investments

can't tell

couldve bought (stamps.com STMP) a couple weeks ago at 9.00, now its up to like 14.00.

They patented personal postage, now you can get photos, your company logo, your baby, whatever you want on your US postage. It does cost about 3x the normal postage cost per stamp. Anyhow, just thought I would explain. heh

Have had Startbucks for over two years not I think and have done well. More stores opening nationwide, and other nations.

Price of their products have gone up and the demand is still there.

Long-term, I think HAS (Hasbro Inc) is a pretty safe bet.

They are stockpiling a lot of licenses in the gaming/cartoon domains, such as for GI:JOE and Thundercats.

They already own Wizards of the Coast, who dominate the card-gaming market with M:TG.

Short-term, buy whatever penny stocks you get spam about. I've monitored stocks I get spam about in the past, and everytime if you buy and sell it within 4 days or so, you can make 50-300% easy.

If i had to pick one: Beer Companies or Banks.

Risky, but huge upside, will blow up soon with merger news.

Buy gold! Not only is your name "Gold" but with oil prices on the rise, and expected to rise more gold will continue to rise for some time.

If you are looking for a secure long term investment get a bond fund. I hold both of the AGF bond funds and the return is on the order of 7% through dividends alone.

nice pe ratio, but i don't think nokia is innovating like they should be or giving customers the products they really want. not sure what they're doing at nokia over the past few years, they could have built on the momentum of the cell phone industry, but didn't grab the bull by the horns.
