How soon will Internet TV take off as a stock market investment?
596579
You'll laugh, but I remember people asking this same question 10 years ago.\n\nFor investments, I've found that it's always difficult to predict precisely when a certain technology will take off, or which of various forms will dominate.  In the end, I don't invest in companies like this until they actually start to show profits.  By then, we can usually get a pretty clear picture of where things are going, and there's usually still a sizeable upside left.\n\nHold on to your good idea, and wait until the winners become apparent.\n\nMeanwhile, I would guess that companies with holdings in both TV and Internet sites might have an edge.  Consider something like IACI, perhaps.\n\nBest of luck to you.

Hard to say on that one, nobody has a 100% prediction rate so you have to understand the future of Google. Below is a link that talks about some reasons Google stock might not be such a good investment. If your looking for reasons Google would be, you have to have a look at some of the wall street bidders.

A few companies that I would recommend you look into are BRNC, INSP, and YHOO.  While these don't quite fall in the $10-$20 range that you specified, this shouldn't matter, a 10% gain is a 10% gain no matter how many shares you own.  \n\nBRNC operates in the oilfield drilling industry, and are expected to see growth rates of over 35% annually for the next few years.  From their current levels, I see a 80% upside within the next year.\n\nINSP operates in the search and mobile phone service industries.  While their growth rates in their mobile initiatives may be enough to warrant a buy, I am attracted to this stock by their cash position.  They have over half of their market cap in cash, and no debt on hand.  They are a growth company currently trading at value stock type levels.  Should result in  nice gain if you invest at these levels.\n\nLast but not least in YHOO.  You are using one of their newer offerings at the moment, just one of the many facets that will contribute to their future growth.  Forget Google, Yahoo! is the king of the internet sector.  While I see Google's shares falling over the next 12 months, I see Yahoo gaining nicely.  I'm not going to talk in terms of 12 months for Yahoo though, as they are a company that I view as a leftime investment.  Their is absolutely no reason that Yahoo should not remain the leading internet presence 20 years from today.\n\nFor more stock ideas, check out TheNewWallStreet.com.

I do not think MSFT would be a good investment because they lost their edge on internet search so easily to google.  And, their Windows operating system may be competing with a Google platform in the future.  MSFT does not have high expectations on their products and that is why the stock has gone nowhere for the past 5yrs (except for down).\n\n"Don't Buy, Don't Buy, Don't Buy"\n\nEven Jim Cramer on Mad Money says MSFT is a dog and he wish he didn't have it in his Charitable Trust.

I would certainly invest in the stock market.  I think the best way to find good investment ideas is to look at what the best traders are buying.  This is the idea behind the site http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money.  Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors.  You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas.\n\nHere are this month's best traders:\n\nhttp://www.top10traders.com/Top10Standings.aspx\n\n\nGood luck!

Only one way to make your money go farther:  BORROW.\n\nOptions:  These are contracts that you buy which, if they meet a certain criteria, allow you to purchase shares at a set price at a set time.  For instance, a contract to buy 100 google shares at $225 on April 1st.  YOu might pay $70 for this contract (at least).\n\nOn April 1st, you have to buy the google shares.  If they are worth more than the $70 price in your contract, you gain 100 shares times the difference.  BUT>...  if they are worth less, you have lost the difference.\n\nI recommend you check out www.motleyfool.com or other investing sites.  When in doubt, check with a professional.\n\nAlso, online stock challenges are a good way to hone your skills and strategies without risk.  JUst write "stock challenge" into any search engine.  GOOD LUCK!

Day-trading.  All you need is a computer and an internet connection.  I'm guessing you have both!

This is a very interesting question.  I think I would spend about $5,000 on a new audio system or perhaps a television and audio system (better make it $7500) and then buy some stock with the rest.  That way, even though I've spent that second half, I might reap the rewards of having the money over time, too.\n\nAnother alternative would be to spend the first half on some jewelry for my wife, which, the more I think about it, is the better alternative to the TV thing.\n\nGood question!

Losing internet neutraility would be a very bad thing for everyone. Unfortunaltey, if the major telecom use their financial power through lobbysits, we may not have another option. \n\nEventually, the consumer will pay more for surfing the internet. I think the real losers will be the innovators. There would be no more Yahoo!, Google, Delicious, YouTube, etc, since they would have to pay more to use bandwidth. Startrups would't have the cash to get their products on the Net.\n\nCheck out the great article in my source:

Where ever you signed up for your real time quotes should offer a link, if not simply goto www.briefing.com and select your option from Gold, Silver or Platinum. PS. be sure that the service you signed up for actually offers "Real Time qoutes" if you plan to base your investments on any information that the service offers. Sometime they say real time when in fact there are more often then not, delays as long as 15 minutes, which could kill an unaware invester. Good Luck investing

If I had enough money i would invest in KVHI.\n \nThey are the company that created portable internet, like in your vehicle and so forth.  I feel they have a lot of potential for growth.\n\n\nhttp://moneycentral.msn.com/detail/stock_quote?Symbol=kvhi\n\n\nTry this link also\nhttp://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/srs/srsmain.asp?Symbol=KVHI

On Saturday mornings there are programs on Fox network that have panels. TYou can get some good tips there. MSN has a search program for money and stocks and they have a rating system 1-10. I also watch Neil Cavuto on Fox and try to keep up on the trends. \n\nPS He reads e-mails at the end of his show. I think the Saturday shows do to.

Heck. I think I would invest my entire life savings. It sounds like a sure thing to me. Betamax is bound to make a comeback. After all VHS is declining in popularity so there must obviously be a oportunity for Betamax here.

internet cources are going to be cheaper but there will be many distractions. you have tv, chating, food, and no limitations that force you to listen or read. if you can be self diciplined then internet cources are a cinch. im takeing my entire assoiates degree on the net so i can work and get experence too. You might want to get either cable or Dsl because with dialup the connection will be slow and crashing all the time.
