Money Think outside the box... what's the new fad? - Page 3

wutamess · 01-03-2010, 10:17 PM

I'm looking to buy into a corporation that has the latest fad or the potential to be a fad.

Background. 07 I got into Crocs stock (the shoe CROX) and made a little money but would've come out with a LOT more if I would've waited to sell (Sold too early).

A couple of months ago, I bought into a swine flu stock (SVA)and held it for a month and gained $500... sold too late (could've came out with $900 or $1k).

I have clean energy mutual fund in my portfolio and the Climate talks has helped that sector a lot lately.

But I'm looking for other fad(s) short term stocks to get in and out within a 6 months period... Can you guys think outside the box with some suggestions?

If there's a thread dedicated to this I apologize.

Now is the time of year to look at Diet fads and Gym's. By March it will be time to unload.

Actually, it's probably to late on that. Better to buy in October and bail in Jan/Feb.
