Want to pick up a couple stocks

[Kruser6]

I'd like to buy 2 or 3 stocks. I have 10K laying around that I'd like to put into the stock market. I know it's not much, but it's better to have it where it's sitting.


Anyone have any opinions where to put it?

I was thinking about possibly putting it into BAC with all this gov't assistance and possibly more coming they seem like a good deal at around 7. Being at just $3.14 on March 9th they have made quite the rally.

Glad to see you agree with BAC. Do you think it is a stronger play then possibly Wells Fargo?

i would invest in gold, oil, or the decline in the dollar.
without using the leverage of options or futures,
EFTs or exchange traded funds would be the way
to go. the one play that benefits from ALL 3 of these
investment oppotunities is FXC wfhch is the canadian
dollar EFT. it goes up with either a rise in the oil or gold
pricing or benefits when the dollar goes down. it pays
a small dividend based upon the canadian tbill rate
and one can sell options against their position to
increase one's yield. hope this helps.

Indians, why don´t you go ahead and put that money down and buy another house?

I can't tell if you are trying to be a dick or serious.

I am thinking about putting one on the market soon, I have another one that I am purchasing now, and I am just going to let things shake out a bit. I am currently living out of town right now on a construction project that is finishing up so I am waiting until I get back home so I can see the real estate market in person where I live.

Thanks, I just set up the transfer for my money to Etrade. Unfortunately since it is a new account I have to wait for a up to 7 days for the money to hit. Hopefully it gets in sooner. I'll go from there when I get it. Until then I am just going to research which ones I will choose.

Here ya go....

PXSL
CXSP
CLVLY
RMBS

...huge gains over the next year.

 

[LogansRun]

Stick it in cash until you get a buy signal from the coppock curve.

Google it.

And then put it in an index fund. Too much risk right now for a buy and hold strategy, especially if you're going to put it in only 1 or 2 stocks.

Don't touch GE with a 10ft pole.......financing division is killing this company.

 

[ramonscottsports]

Can the Dow really rally triple-digits again on Thursday? There are far more saying yes than no. Let's have a huge rally tomorrow. 300 pts. or more.

I will be selling ALGT if it goes up again. I already have a 25 pct. gain there.

How about:

FCS
ONNN
ARD
GME
HPCO
REXX

you are sure you want to invest in a few stocks

yet dont know which ones?

wtf

Normally you would have a particular stock in mind before deciding if you want to invest in stocks at all

That doesn't necessarily have to be the case. With this bear market much like others like when the tech bubble burst you can pretty much throw darts and pick whatever stock you hit and have an excellent chance of it being up 50%+ in 2 years. If and when the market gets back up to around 12000 which it surely will probably 75% of the major stocks out there will be double what they are worth right now. If the DOW reaches 15000 which it probably will sometime no matter how hard to believe right now many will be worth 3x their current price. And I'm talking legit big companies that are way down now (BA, CAT, etc) not the <$10 stocks that could be woth five times as much by then.
