Do you own stocks?
If so, with whom are you investing? Are they high risk/low risk? How much a share? Are they doing good, bad, or fair? *Just curious...Im interested in putting my tax refund into stocks* |

I don't own any yet, I'm waiting things out. Right before everything started going down, I put $500 in my trading account, but I'm not doing anything until things get better, maybe next year.

I have a friend at AG Edwards, she takes care of em for me. I'm more of a long term kinda guy, not often doing the buy/sell thing. Kicking myself for not getting Google earlier. Eaton Corporation is at 79.68. Been going up for about two months now... Jacobs Engineering Group is at 79.28, I first bought my shares at 1round 62.50 last year. Johnson & Johnson is at 62.98. They're based in Wisconsin, but hey, they've been going up fairly steadily for years now! Whatever you do, don't invest in cell phone companies! Their stock is for ****! (= |

Why don't you invest now when the prices are low until waiting for them to go up and buying them when they cost more?

They've been going up since I bought em at much lower prices... and they go up over time, not all in one night and then crash back down to lower than when I bought them... if I wanted to do that, I'd invest in Sprint or Verizon Wireless or T-Mobile.. etc.. lol |

Im not looking for a "get-rich-quick" type of investment. Those kind of stocks seem so risky. Im looking for a company that has a lot of stability.

Invest in gold. Instead of going into all the details why, I suggest you do the research on it on your own.
Like the other guy said it is high now, but it only shows signs of continuing to go up. Or, invest in silver. Investing in gaming or stores directed to such could be a good investment well. Companies like Gamestop and Activision are good investments. Also, with the Blue-Ray winning the HD format war against HD-DVD it will boost Sony stocks most likely. The gaming industry is nearly a $10 billion dollar industry here in the US alone and those figures only shoot up year after year with NO signs of ever stopping. Plus, if you were to go off anyones suggestion in here alone, without looking further into it, I would suggest not investing...lol. |

Check out some good mutual funds. The risk is spread over many stocks instead of just one. A lot less risk that way. As far as gold goes, 100 years ago, an ounce of gold would buy a brand new suit. Today an ounce of gold will buy a brand new suit.

Twilight Twin:
Investing your tax return instead of spending it is a very smart thing to do. I have quite a few stocks and mutual funds and I use Wells Fargo Investment Services through my Wells Fargo Bank. They don't charge me a maintanance fee, they only charge me a commission on any trades I make. They have concilors who will be willing to talk to you for free and advise you on how to invest your money. First you must decide on what strategy to prusue. Are you looking for fast growth? long term growth and stability? dividend income? The financial councilor will discuss all of this with you and help you select investments based on your intentions. Remember that the greater the potential for growth the greater the risk. Mutual funds help to spread the risk over a great number of stocks and therefore are more stable but usually pay a lower return. All stocks, bonds and funds are rates from 4A the best on down the lower the rating the greater the risk and the greater the potential. Good luck |

I am looking for a long term investment, Im not as concerned of the rate of pay off as I am the stability of the company. I appreciate all the help I can get! Ive been wanting to invest for quite some time but just afraid to make the first leap! I wasn't sure of what financial advisors charged and whom to trust. |

your best bet will be a low cost mutual fund if you
do not have a lot of investment experience. read the books by Jeremy Siegel and articles by Ben Stein. then invest. it is a good time to buy when the market is down for long term gain.
