I want to invest in some stock right now, as school is winding down and I will be able to pay attention to what's going on. I know right now might not be the easiest of condition to invest in, but I know there's always something out there.
I was wondering what you people felt is a good stock right now. |

Well you just missed the boat but satellite radio (and particularly XM) would have been a good stock pick and potentially still is:

The ramifications of a low-end car offering XM as standard on all their vehicles may be a turning point in the industry that forces all other cars on the market to consider adding satellite radio as standard equipment as well. I'm still skeptical as to whether satellite radio can retain its customers but it's probably a good short term investment. If you want you can gamble on MCI. If Quest succeeds in its MCI buyout the stock will go up. |

I'm not up to date on business conditions in the US, but I think there's a general consesus that raw materials companies are making a killing lately. With China (and soon India as well) boosting demand for natural resources the price of raw materials is only going to head up, giving some good returns to such companies. Everyone's investing into them in Australia and making a killing.
Mind you though, they are inherently risky investments, but the potential gains are staggering if you could pull it off. |

No we need around £2million to see us comfortably into the Premiership and when that happens, the shareholders will be stinking filthy rich!! |

VanDyk I like your portfolio, however Im not really looking to build a portfolio right now. I'm looking for a short term investment, probably over the course of the next 4 months or so. Sony is an unbelievable idea, but keep in mind there has been some major clusters caused by crappy manufacturing in the Asia release. I still feel the PSP will own when it comes out on the market.
Next, Smiley. I don't want to open an E-Trade or some online account where they charge me $20 worth of commissions, and because my dad is an independent stock trader, I can just go to his office and have him pop what I want in. Problem is, he will give me endless for just suggesting a company I know nothing about, and if the stock doesn't do well will top that off with an unfathomable amount of . So if you can give me a good reason I'm all ears. |

Seriously, it would be a purely speculative bid and I wouldn't do it! Its a football team in England (who have a slim chance of propotion to the Premiership) but I wouldn't invest in sports unless you know them!
My dad gets loads of shares but they're all long term investments.
Do you have ISAs in America? Maybe you should try one of those? |
