Stick w/ stock message boards on this, we are not setup to abide by disclosure needs. Take any reccomendation here for a grain of salt... or less.

Don't believe everything you Read on internet message boards...

right now, high teck is going downhill...u can take a risk to buy some now but don't expect a 20% return in a week or two weeks..

we are still up 70% (after extended trading hours), but we are bunkering ourselves for the long run (6 months-1year)

Blue chips is a safe bet, but if u have balls, go high tech. I specialize in TQNT, ANEN, SANM, CMRC, CORV, TMWD. Those six stocks i have done thorough research (not just ur average looking at chart and listening to ppl, but i look at their accounting stuff, profitability, price/share, etc)

TQNT is a strong buy with an average of $45-55 a share. I invest for 4 of my friends. I may infuse more money to buy it at $31/share, again.

Also, $1,100 is not that much money. However, u don't wanna look at $10 cuz there is not that much volume (maybe TMWD...but give it wat, like 5 years to recover, even longer?) With bout $2,500-$5k, u wanna look at around $30-$40 range. There, u get healthy amount of volume.

Also, make sure u look at price/share along with expectations and analyst's recommendation. True, they may not always give the best ratings, but you have to start somewhere. I always look at chart, splits, Quarterly calls and correlation to the stock price taken in fact the current market situation, and etc.

I didn't cover much, but if you want more info on those 6 stocks, give me a PM. NOwadays, everbody knows bout the stock market; however, i only missed one expectation of TQNT in bout 10 times (i made money all 10 times, but this time, i didnn't MAKE AS MUCH AS I WANTED (50%/2days). Other times, I nailed it correctly.

I strongly agree with Dameon. Stick with a board that is based on stocks, not hardware.

check out nasdaq They have tons of information on it. Be careful in what you buy, and remember that penny stocks are usually penny stocks for a reason.

<< the long run (6 months-1year) >>

LOL. 1 year is &quot;long term&quot;??? Sigh, this whole Internet-high-tech-IPO-stock-market-orgasm thing has really raised expectations of people.

 

[Static911]

well, i only have $10k, wat do u expect?? once i get my parents to infuse $100k, i will look at 5-10 years

also, i look at business cycle and when new products will be developed.implemented...

sheesh, we only made 70%, i expect more...i'm putting in at least 70+ hrs on top of my 6 classes (1 class that is graduate level and I HAVE NO CLUE WAT I'M DOIN)G in colleg..i sleep, breathe, eat, think, watever about stocks, gonna buy palm vII wth money i made to track stocks during class

I think i deserve to make lots of money...dumb investors = lose ; careful investors = win

Yes, i do consider 6 - 1 year TAKING IN FACT THESE STOCKS...sheesh...try to understand their business cycle and u will understand...

hell, i'm doing better than most investors are...i did lose on the CMRC (i bought at $27, its at $27.5) I only made $.50/share <---kinda pissed

invest in a mutual fund (a good one) that's your best bet. Let some professionals work on your investments.

Suggest: Janus Mutual
Fidelity Mutual Funds

 

[Napalm381]

Very few people have ever had TRUE long term success by attempting to time the rise and fall of individual stocks. No credible stockbroker, analyst, etc, would ever subscribe to this sort of investment theory.

<< careful investors = win >>

This sort of market-timing strategy is not what most people would call being a &quot;careful&quot; investor.

BTW, I didn't see the term &quot;price-earnings ratio&quot; a single time in your posts. Is that what you mean by &quot;price/share&quot;?

Have fun while it lasts.

i agree wit mutual funds...go wit big names...

or hell, let me invest it (J/K!)

Just a warning... in investing, I find that a lot of people experience beginner's luck. If you pick a stock and it goes up 50% in two weeks or something, don't get the impression that will happen all the time. Don't get overconfident. And do not let greed or fear rule your investing. All this, is of course, not investment advice, but merely my opinion.

best stock investments are the ones advised by your broker....any stock messagebaord is gonna be filled with yahoos who will give out fake stock tips to drive up market demand for the given stock...

fun? well, at least i made $7,000. I don't consider it fun, i consider it hard work (eats u up afterawhile) ...true, maybe i am a fool for my tactics, but gut feeling with a bit of research makes money...

I SWEAR, half of those investors for those big companies don't even know wtf they doing or asking? I listen to all of the Q reports, and some of them ask some dumb questions...i mean dumb!

Well, napalm, seems like ur an xpert, y don't U tell us wat is going on wit the market? My goal is 60% profit/month (i may not meet it cuz to aggressive)

u know wat? i'm up 70% with more money being poured in...i hear ppl losing...well, i'm not, i'm up, big time.

<< Well, napalm, seems like ur an xpert, y don't U tell us wat is going on wit the market? My goal is 60% profit/month >>

Am I a stock guru? Of course not. But I do have some good common sense investing strategies. 60 percent a month in the long term is highly unrealistic, bordering on impossible. After all this tech crap is through, have fun getting even remotely close to that. Historically, making it into the double digits for a YEARLY profit is quite admirable. Oh wait, the internet has changed everything! The old rules don't apply! Price/earnings ratios don't mean anything! Yeah right.

Here's hoping you don't get burned too bad.
