$8100 to invest

I

I have about $8100 to "play" around with. I've already invested a fair amount into stable mutual funds and an IRA, so I'm hoping to put the $8100 into something that's much riskier (ie: techonology, healthcare). I plan on investing some of it into more mutual funds, but I'd like to see if I should give a shot at the stock market... Advice?
 
The information you gather from this thread will only be of value if there is some sort of concensus.

Unfortunately, if this investment thread has any concensus at all, it will be a first.

put it in a 5 yr bond at your bank, you get like 5% interest on it. Or you can do something with even more interest, but with my limited 18 year old understanding of investments that's the biggest thing I can see right now
 
AMDINTEL, america's favorite duopoly. its now safe since cheney's promised terror attacks never came to fruition

but don't forget, osama says he wants to bankrupt america (hit wall st) so don't risk that $8.1k unless you can afford to lose half of it at any moment
 
I'll structure it for you:

Put it into high tech companies that deal specifically with broadband technologies. I recommend Powerline Communications. There is tremendous possibilities in that area.

Ambient technologies (ABTG) is one that I highly recommend because they're a research company that deals with PLCs and if PLC become mainstream, they'll profit on their patents as well. Then watch your stock climb.

After you've made 500% on your investment ($40K+), you then proceed to sell your shares (not all of it) and buy stocks with very high dividends and yields.

Once you've accumulated at least 100K, buy a multifamily home and rent it out. Then you can proceed to sell the home after a year or whatever the early tax penalty time frame for selling is and in a couple more years, you'll be like Donald Trump.

Imagine that, all from a little stock called ABTG.

If you don't understand the in's and out's of the stock market before you "invest", it's not investing, it's gambling.

You have quite the imagination.

 
I'd recommend you put those in mutual funds. You can buy some higher risk funds, such as small cap, or tech funds. Individual stocks require quite alot of "burnable" cash and alot of time to track them.

Would stocks be something that I can invest in, and leave it alone for a couple (or more) of years? According to you, it isn't.
