Hi asked:


What are good stocks to buy in the short term?

My econ class is playing a stock game but using the real stock markets. I have $100,000 to spend. I am hoping to find some stocks that are going up in the short term because school ends in two months.

Any good suggestions?

I currently have $50,000 and I want it to grow to $500,000 in a few years by aggressively buying and selling the right stocks. I’m willing to pay an experienced investor 25% of my profits. They must have a proven track record of accurately selecting the right stocks at the right times to help me do that.

I am considering setting up a custodial stock account for my 2 year old. I’m seriously considering DRIP type investment.

What type of account is most beneficial in terms of tax benefits, for both parents and children?

Is it better to own a separate DRIP account until the child reaches the adult age and then gift them the account or use it to pay for the education?

Thanks

I am looking for an investment option that yields high interest and that is not required to be a long term commitment. I would like to start out investing $50 a month / 600 a year.

I want to invest in penny stocks and mainstream stocks but some major online brokers dont offer penny stock trading. What do you use / think is the best?

I know some people are good at stocks but the fact is that it’s never guaranteed anything. Even the best can lose. So what I want to know is, how is this any different from gambling, besides the name. The principle is the same thing. My friend knew someone at work who lost millions in the stock market in one weekend and hung himself. I’m being dead serious, it’s dangerous just like gambling is. I’m pretty sure there are people addicted to it (stock markets). It IS gambling period . So why don’t they call it that?

Ron asked:


I’m new to investing. I have a sharebuilder account. There are stocks I’ve been interested in but been unable to purchase because they are not offered from ShareBuilder. Specifically, NJMC and LLBO.

How can I invest in the penny stocks that aren’t offered by my broker?
