1) Over 75% of professional money managers underperform the average of the entire market!!! So, do NOT follow the lead of the "big-boys" because you will lag their underperforming results leading to horrible returns not worth the risk.\n\n2) Due Dilligence---Don't directly invest into anything someone else recommends unless you did your own research and believe in the company as well (unless that person is Warren Buffet :) )\n\n3) To actually answer your question unlike the previous 2.... my personal picks are as follows (still do your own research to confirm my thoughts)\n\nAKAM (49.25) A great technology company. Current quarter growth is estimated at over 60%, while the industry is -4%. Even though this year is outpacing the market growth by about 50%, it is expected to again outpace market growth by about 30% next year. Fiscal year 06 earnings are expected to gain 67% over 2005's numbers, while Fiscal year  07 is expected to gain 38% over 2006. My personal target for the short-term is $60 (3 month time frame). As for long-term prospects, I expect the stock to hit at least 70 in one year's time.\n\nIf you want something more risky and having more reward potential, go with FRPT (11.83). The stock is under tremendou accumulation and could very well reach $15 by Christmas.

Technical and fundamental analysis go hand in hand. There are traders who are pure technicians or pure fundamentalists. Investors who can master both are in a much stronger position. \n\nWithin fundamental anyalysis there are various schools of thought. Growth vs. value is the main division.\n\nThere and hundreds, if not thousands of technical indicators.\n\nIn my own trading, I only own the VERY best fundamental companies. I buy and sell them based on technical indicators. Over the past months I have traded Google, Broadcom, Marvel, Apple, etc. I am currently in cash.\n\nMy trading is loosely based on the CANSLIM method invented by William J. O'Neil of Investor's Business Daily.

I generally find that Fortune magazine and Investor's have good advice.  There are so many funds to choose from that you really need to spend some time reading about them.

I agree. Suger is a great buy right now. The stocks I have been watching are up 10% a day.\n\n Its due to ethinal production. Ethinal from suger is much cheaper then from corn and more inviromentally friendly.

good is a very relative term, depends on the individual. Reliable woould really never go with stocks. No stock is guarenteed to maintain value. Generally big comapnies like GE, Boeing, IBM, Catterpillar, ALCOA are generally good. However, if you look at returns, stocks like GOOG, Starbucks, etc are great

I wouldn't advise asking for an investment advise on Yahoo Answers or any other board.  Consider consulting a professional when it comes to such decisions unless you have money to throw away in which case just buy hisc and hope for the best :)\n\nAleks

I've been studing the market game for about a year now, i didn't knew anything a year ago, I havent invested anything yet, i've just been practicing in stock simulators like stocktrak.com for about 2 months now, im happy i've made almost a 7% in my simulations (im happy with that since i am a rookie), I think I need to do a lot more reading, studing and practicing before I invest a single dollar for real. I think now I understand the markets much better.\n\nSince I am in a similar position as you are, just 1 year ahead studing :) , I would strongly recommend you to start by studing Profr. Peter Navarro's material. First I studied his audio course "Big picture investing", and read his books "when is raining in Brazil buy Starbucks", "when the markets move will you be ready?" and now i'm reading his most recent book "the well timed strategy", for me it was great to start with the audio course, since he explains the basics to understand the market, and it comes with a very didactic printed course guide. Profr. Navarro has been a great teacher for me, I don't think there are other books as good as this for a beginer, and belive me, i've done my research and been reading a lot!! after the audio course i was able to understand and take more "juice" from his books and other books that I have read, I recommend you to do the same thing.\n\nRegarding the Can Slim system teached by IBD's Bill O'Neal, I think he is a real master, his investing approach is great and relatively easy to follow if you use the investing tools on investors bussiness daily and do your research homework every day, actually, I just took the Can Slim Level I Seminar some weeks ago, and I am already subscribed for the level II seminar to be held at the end of this month, BUT, if i hadn't studied Profr. Navarro's material before, I am shure I would understanded much less from the can slim seminar, so I recomend you to start with Profr. Peter Navarro's material, its great material and has been a lot of help for me.\n\nYou can find Profr. Navarro's audio courses and books at barnes and noble, either in the book store or online, is not an expensive material, i would have pay 10 times its price, its worth much more.\n\nAnd, once you start to study, the learning curve never ends!! start with Prof. Navarro, before you buy any material much more expensive and not worth its price, belive me i've done it :(..im shure you will thank me.\n\nGood luck!!!

Here is my day trading tip.  Don't do it.  It is a good way to loose money.  Try investing instead.  Select solid companies with good prospects.

You can find a lot of past performance of mutual funds on this web site.     http://www.micropal.com/\nalthough past return is no guarantee of future results - still, it could be used as an estimate.\n\nIf you want to calculate what an investment of $37,940 would add up to if it grew at 5% per year, just type this formula into an excel sheet:\n  =FV(0.05,30,,-37940)\nA whopping $163,974!

I would suggest you find whatever business that you have interest in. Ones that motivate you or open your mind to business input for them. Your own inner desire for a particular area of market will allow you to use your own  judgement to make wise investment choices.

They should Clorox yahoo answers and get rid of the pervs lol. You should try their company website and look at forecasts and press releases. Also, investing info could be a good indicator.

*********Never.  And Never is too soon**********\n\nThe investment company that I used turned out to be professional scam artists.  They 1) stole my money 2) had my life threatened 3)stole my identity & 4) falsely accused me of trying to steal their property & had me arrested 5) stole my documentation 6) I have been made homeless and had to file bankruptcy. 7) with an arrest I can't get a decent job to feed, clothe or sustain myself or my family. 8) Some days I do not have a roof or food. My life had my families lives have been turned upside down. We have been living in danger for a long time now.  Law Enforcement Agencies have done nothing to stop the criminals.  After this trama, I would never invest in property. \n\nI used to invest in stocks & bonds prior to the stock market lows.  I thought real estate was a slow stable long term method of investing.  It has been a horror story.\n\nJust, Please go to your credit union and open a savings account. Think of your future differently.  I do every day.

A good place to start is Motley Fool.  They are just like the court jester--the jester (England) who tell the king anything and still keep his head.  M.F. approach is to tell it like it is- inform, humor, and then let you decide what to do.  They don't work for a particular firm, that is only interested in that one thing.  They examine everything, and encourage all to read, ask questions before making any investments.  I really do encourage you to seek this out-- I just wish I had the money to invest!

The stock market is ok, however look into managed foriegn exchange. There is a great company called Compass Financial Solutions located in Lakewood, CO. Totally ligite.\nAlso, look into a homebased business. The best one I have seen in my last 25 years is YTB International. It is a travel business. I am involved and it has been incredible!I no longer work for anyone else. You have to check it out. www.novaktravel.com and www.howifiredmyboss.com, you won't be disappointed.
