Does anyone know good stocks to invest in and how are mutual funds good to invest in?

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

I wanna know what stocks are starting from low and are starting to climb up before it reaches its peak. Like gold minning, technologies, biotech, energy, computers, websites,natural resources, good chinese and indonesia stocks too. If chinese and vietnamese currency is good to invest in and mutual funds to. I know house market is down but do u think its good to buy b/c its pretty low stocks from before.

Long Term Stock to hold, I have found Proctor and Gamble (PG) to be a relatively stable and productive investment.

Mutual Funds are good because they invest in the stocks of numerous companies, thus diversifying your investment.
I own many.

For a risky short term gain, I’ve made $700.00 in CCTC in a month and a half with a $500.00 investment.

Sold part of my shares today to get my $500 investment out. Now I play with the $700 I made.
Very Risky Investment though !
It might be at it’s high now. Who Knows?

If you can’t afford to lose any of your investment, go to a bank C.D. or Money Market Account.

I don’t know about foreign currency or investing in the housing market.
Good Luck.

DRIP’s are not safe! They are purchasing stock in a company w/o a Broker but directly from the company. Cheaper Yes, safe No. You can’t sell quickly either.
Reinvest dividends let’s you build more shares which is good.
Good place to start, like I did.

What are some of the best stocks to buy right now (july 2009) in order to profit when the recovery takes place?

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Which stocks are you buying? My impression is that buying stocks cheaply now can increase your portfolio tenfold when things get back to normal.But some stocks will rise higher than others of course.Which are the most undervalued stocks right now?

GE is a good choice, but also put money in commodities, such as Metal, Oil etc.. Since at the moment China and India are developing quickly they’ll be using automobiles more, and the governments recovery plan, so putting it in an oil company such as Shell would be smart. Apple is also good. I’ve put 250 dollars in a clothing brand called American Apparel, it looks to have some kind of future as well, at least i hope so

How many stocks should I carry in my portfolio?

Friday, March 12th, 2010

I am looking to invest long-term (20+ years) and this is my first time buying stocks. I have a medium to high risk tolerance. I will be initially investing $2500. The goal is growth for retirement fund.
Wondering how many different stocks to buy with my $2500.
Also, what would you say are good markets/industries to buy into now for maximum growth over the next 20 years?
I already have mutual funds… so I’m hoping to get into something with more potential payback (realizing the added risk also).

To absolutely minimize your individual risk, the theoretical number is 20. Beyond that the risk reduction of added stocks is minimal. But with only 2500 you can not begin to approach that, but it is a goal. The fact that you currently have mutual funds does mitigate your risk somewhat. As one responder mentioned when you have more than 10 it becomes somewhat of a task keeping track of them. And with 10 your individual risk is only slightly more than at 20. I attempt to keep my portfolio below 20 but by tracking the portfolio with Yahoo, it becomes much more managable to track a larger number of stocks.

The key is not only having say 10 different stocks but they should also be distributed amongst various segments of the economy and across various economies (read countries).

What are good markets/industries for the next 20 years?

Think about India, China, oil, health care. An excellent way to invest in oil with a small amount of money is to purchase an ETF, such as PXE or XLE or IYE or VDE or IEO or PXJ or USO. XLE is the most popular.

For China there is also an ETF: PGE or FXI

Regretably there is not yet an ETF of Indian stocks but there are about 12 or 16 traded on the NYSE. There are a couple of closed end funds that specialize in Indian stocks.

For health care there is these ETFs: XLV, IBB, PPH, BBH, IHY, PJP, IHE, IHF, IHI, XPH, XBI. Seems like there are more ETFs than there are companies. ha ha.

How many stocks do you need in your portfolio to be diversified?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

It seems like whether you have $10,000 or $10,000,000, if you were to choose around 10 stocks (not penny stocks) in different sectors, you’d be diversified enough. Any thoughts?

According to modern porfolio theory, there is little additional reduction of risk beyond 20. There is signficant reduction in risk by adding addional securities below 10. So a good rule of thumb is somewhere between 10 and 20.

One thought is this. No only different sectors but also different geographic areas and different economies. If all of ones money is invested in U S securities, then the corrolation of investments is much greater than it would be between securities of say other regions.

Stock Adviser (Via Britney)

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

My first album (without this song, but with lots of other good ones) is available at http://www.DFTBA.com. We’re running low on stock though, you should should go get it while you can.

In which Hank lip syncs to a song Katherine sings but he wrote the words to even though the music was written by someone else and originally sung by Britney Spears.

Lyrics:

I met you in an office down on main street
you said you could make my future much more easy
all I had to do was give you access to my money
and you’d double it
double it baby

I never really understood the things that you would say
If we amortized deposits into my IRA
We could optimize my no-load fund with proceeds from my tax refund
we’d just begun
Just begun baby

Stock advisor Stock Ad Stock adviser your my stock adviser OH stock adviser OH you’re my stock adviser baby

You you you are
you you you are
stock adviser you are my investment analyzer

I will tell you what I I
Just reali-i-ized
I will not reti-i-ire
until I’m eight fi-i-ive

(You) You lost my money
(You) This isn’t funny
(You) That’s right I trusted
(You) My stock advisor

I will tell you what I I
Just reali-i-ized
I will not reti-i-ire
until I’m eight fi-i-ive

(You) You said my future
(You) Would be secure
(You) That’s right I trusted
(You) My stock advisor

You said stocks were always gonna go up
Now I look at you and it makes me want to throw up
You said there were risks out there but I could be a millionaire
just like you
just like you baby

Market Crash! Ever since then I’ve been drinkin’
And I can’t determine what exactly I was thinkin’
Half of all my savings gone, bank accounts overdrawn
all for you
all for you baby
Stock advisor Stock Ad Stock adviser your my stock adviser OH stock adviser OH you’re my stock adviser baby

Stocks: How do stocks with dividends grow compared to stocks without?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

I’m looking for a link to such studies here, so hopefully I can save time from doing my own studies. Basically, I’m looking for edges in the market, and even if dividend stocks grow at the same rate as non-dividend stocks, and dividends are a percent, than I will have a percent plus compounding on that percent every year. May not be much, but every edge counts. Please note that only statistics and studies will help me here. Thanks!

Part of earnings "growth" is earnings from investments made from earnings. Companies have two choices when it comes to earnings, pay it out as dividends, or reinvest it in existing or new businesses to generate additional income going forward. Companies that pay higher dividends are investing less and therefore figure to be growing slower. Companies that pay lower dividends figure to be investing more, and growing faster. No free lunch here.

What happens to the stocks of a bankrupt company if the company is bought by some other company?

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

What happens to the stocks of a bankrupt company if the company is bought by some other company.

I am plaaning to buy stocks of Bearing point. The company is bankrupt now and selling its operations across the globe. What will happen to my stocks if I buy them?

Only if a company comes in and offers to buy the company as a whole will you make money through that sale. For example, IBM recently offered to buy Sun Micro for $9.40 per share – if the offer had been accepted, all shareholders would have turned in their Sun Micro shares for that amount. However, no one out there has offered to buy BearingPoint, so BearingPoint is selling off pieces of its businesses to satisfy creditors and hopes to emerge from bankruptcy after reorganization.

Whether your stocks will be worthless or go up will depend on how well BearingPoint can reorganize and run their business after emerging from bankruptcy.
