Any investors out there?

I'm about to jump into investing.....

Picking long-term growth stocks I don't think will be all that difficult..

However, anybody got any tips/suggestions on some short-term gain stocks?



I hear Dell, Nintendo and US Airways are about to take a nice ride vertical after a lot of research. US Airways all depends on the bid they just put down on bankrupt Delta Airlines....

Any thoughts?

YES! Whenever I buy a stock, you sell it. When I sell, you buy! If you had taken that advice 25 year ago, you would be a very rich man right now! Obviously, I will NEVER, EVER again buy or sell stocks, mutual funds, anything with a risk more than a banks federally approved and insured accounts. Good luck.

If you actually want to invest for retirement or long term wealth creation, I would STRONGLY recommend foregoing individual stocks and invest in an Index Fund. The best bet for long term investment is an S&P 500 Index fund.

It's not exciting, but it offers a great, consistent and pretty low risk rate of return.

Right now my holdings are AIG, ET, F, MO, XOM, MSFT and BAC. I have bought and sold all of these a lot of times but still would have done fairly well just holding them for the last two years.

Looking at that avatar, last thing I want to do is give advice in the riskiest market out there

Seriously though, going to a camera forum to ask for financial advice? Take a picture of your money, as it will be the last time you see it.

These people buy L lenses like they are investments Consistantly talk about the debt load and re-financing deals to cover their habit!!!

Get a good financial advisor to work with. They will have the tools and vehicles to get you where you want to be in the time you want. Yeah they cost a few percent, but their advice will gain you more than anyplace else.

I do both, advisor investments and on my own. Advisor stuff is very solid returns and myself not too bad. If I didn't invest I would spend it on a new camera body.

Good luck with the market.

well the stock market right now is at record highs so i would wait a few months because i simply dont see how the market can keep going like this. I wouldnt touch any airline companies like US airways. if you want long-term growth invest in mutual funds or a large-cap company. mutual funds are probably better though.
