Care to elaborate? This sounds interesting.

As far as picks go, I'm big on CLDX right now. Bought in at $13.xx last month, already above $16. I think it's going to go a lot higher. I also have a lot of money in INTC.

Do some research and buy a good mutual fund. Don't try and pick individual stocks. Don't listen to people who say "I bought this at X and it's gone up and is now Y". Chances are the market went up as a whole ...a rising tide lifts all boats and what not

I invest purely on whether I feel comfortable with the company's strategy. That's it. Oh, and I diversify. When I've got caught it's because I got too antsy and sold too soon, or because I tried to get too cute and out-think the market. |

The notion that trading individual stocks or trading often is a 'good' idea is a scam propagated by Wall Street. Remember they get paid when you make a trade regardless if you make money. The more trades you make, the more transaction fees you pay. Unless all your trades are free every trade is bleeding your returns. The funny part is, even when people 'win' they are often losing, because many times the market gives better returns than they were able to. I'm with John Bogel here, the best strategy for consistent returns is a diversified investment that tracks the market. Pick the low load, low cost funds. Actively managed funds(either you or someone else) sounds like a good idea, but the reality is they don't tend to out perform the market over the long term AND they cost you more. The worst it about many retail investors is that it's little better than gambling to them. You remember your 'successes' but you'll forget your failures, always chasing that 'high' of that big gamble you win with. Like I said this is what Wall Street loves to propagate because they don't care if you win. They make money the more trades you make(or in funds they make money regardless if your fund actually makes money).

I'm young enough that I have a pretty good tolerance for risk. It gives me the freedom to be able to make the picks I want. There are never any guarantees though, just smart bets. |
