You need to answer that question yourself. If I tell you a stock and you buy it and then it goes bankrupt, you will hate me for the rest of your life. If you do your research and buy a stock based on that and it goes down, you will figure that it is a lesson that you learned the hard way. \n\nAsk yourself these questions.\n\nwhere do I think the growth will be?\n\nwhat is the outlook for the economy?\n\nwhat is the outlook for the economy of other coutries?\n\nwhat companies am I familar with that I think are doing a good job?

Get an investment consultant. That and diversify. You dont want to have all of your eggs in one basket, just look at what happened with Enron.

Investing in the stock market is generally a good thing, but stocks under $5 are usually the 'junk' of the market, and while you might make a lot on a few of them, the vast majority will only lose you money.  I'd recommend paying a few dollars more for something that has greater potential.  I've been following a $9 stock called Landec (symbol LNDC), which I think has potential.  In the under $5 range, you're usually gambling.  UNIB is a gamble that might be viable, but it's hard to know.  \n\nRather than just randomly buying stocks that anyone on the interet is touting, I'd suggest you do a little more reading about the market first.  Pick up some books by Peter Lynch or Benjamin Graham first, and that will help you become a better investor.\n\nBest of luck to you.

It is not wise to invest all your portfolio in just one stock.\n\nI can advise you.

Pick a company that you know will always be around and prosper. Then contact them,ask them to send you  information on investing in their company. Most companies will send you a whole packet outlining the companies stock performance.

I would look at the ETFs that are proposed by Barclays through www.ishares.com. Basically these are index trackers. So when you buy one of those you buy a "diversified" set of stocks. Diversification is a "free gift from God" as it leads to extra return for the same amount of risk. Just use these ETFs as bricks to build your portolio.

It depends how long you are prepared to leave the money in there.  Google is an excellent long term investment, but short term the stock is a little overvalued.  \n\nYou are unlikely to loose money if you buy now and hold for 2 years, but there are likely to be opportunities over the next 6 months or so to buy at a lower price (possibly down to $450).

I started small, you might want to think about penny stocks, you can buy tons of shares, for hardly any money, but it is very risky. Make sure you have a comfortable amount saved first, then work on investing.

You probably shouldn't take advise on stocks and mutual funds from people on yahoo.answers. If you want help on what stocks to look at just look at the financial reports from companies you are interested in. And if you are young, which I have a feeling you are, you are better off in higher risk stocks since you don't have a lot of cash. The chance to get money is larger, and so is the chance to lose it.

If there was such a company everyone would be in it now. \n\nThe "best Company" to invest in is the one you pick after long research and a good knowledge of stocks & the industry it's in (not to forget valuation & general market conditions). Of course you'd want it to fit in your "asset allocation" also.\n\nDon't take the specific advice you may find in this forum. Never (ever) take stock tips. LEARN LEARN LEARN & you'll do much better over the long term.\n\nGood luck!

Put it in Mutual funds, if you want a bit of risk...  Otherwise, forget stocks and go with GIC's or bonds...

Buy high quality stocks in companies that you know something about.Start by looking for names in your kitchen cupboard, your garage, your cleaning supplies closet, or on your telephone bill or utility bill.  Go to the reference Dept at your library and read Value Line, Standard & Poors Outlook, and Morningstar. Also look on the Internet;(Quicken.com Zack's Brokerage Reports.com MSN Money.com. Morningstar.com, Best investing Sites.com Market watch.com Businessweek.com, Forbes.com Buy only the ones that won't cause you to lose sleep at night.  If your stocks go down in value, don't worry.  The good ones will come back.But use money that you won't need for 4-5-6 years. You can start buying at any time, although the market seems to be a bit high right now.  Be patient and buy stocks gradually. Look into "DRIPS"(Dividend Reinvestment Programs). It's better than compound interest at the bank

Treasury bonds or any other guaranteed government bonds.  \n\nYou are going to find that "safe" investments do not earn a great deal of return.  But remember rule #1..never invest money you can't afford to lose.
