Any Investors Here?

dudafunk

... any suggestions, along with how long/short term the plan to keep it invested is...

Jacky

That depends on what kind of risk you want to take. I would be in cash right now. I got burned pretty hard very recently. This market is very unstable right now. feels like i'm in a casino.

and if you have to invest, invest in some dividends stock for now...

just incase you wanna risk.. go ahead and grab some financials lol.

Like another poster said, it depends on your risk and your overall financial plan.

As a young investor, all of my investments are mutual funds ranging from very risky ultra small cap funds to modest mid-to-large cap funds. These range from 10-30% gains on a good year to obvious losses (albeit sometimes negligible with my safer funds) on bad years.

My recommendation for people just getting into the investment world is T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciate Fund. If you don't have an IRA, I'd recommend setting it up as an IRA; Roth if you plan on retiring on more money than you make now, Traditional if you're in a higher tax bracket now than what you plan on retiring at. Keep in mind, IRA accounts have annual contribution limits as well as income requirements.

Now, if you have no interest in Mutual Funds, or know more than I do about investing (which shouldn't be too hard, haha) disregard my advice!

One piece of advice I can give, is check out Morningstar.com. Fantastic site for stocks, funds, and other investment options.

As you have seen over the past two weeks, the markets are very volatile right now.

The best advice I could give you is: Wait and see if prices continue to drop, watch the news especially regarding Europe, Greece, Spain, etc. When you think things are cooling off a bit, buy some stocks that have gone down significantly but represent a good deal (low P/E, lots of cash, little or no debt). If you do your homework you could reap significant gains.

If you are older like me (55) the above applies, but is weighted more towards blue chips with solid dividends. I just bought some Merck and some Johnson & Johnson.

BTW great disclaimer!..haha

Now is a good time to buy, I did, as most stocks will be seeing that 10% loss over that past few weeks. Return into the shares within the next couple weeks to come

You should contact a trusted financial advisor, as with they're expertise they can throw it away much faster than an individual could ever do.

Stock tip, bypass the Dow and head directly to the casino.

Ford is a decent stock right now IMO. I bought at $7.70 about a year ago, and it recently was up to $14.50+, before falling with the overall market.

its at a little over $11 as I type this, and probably will get back to the $14-$15 range, but I don't know if it will get much higher than that. I was planning to sell at about $16. Doh. Missed that chance.

best stock I ever bought was netflix. bought most of my shares at $18. Its $99 today. I sold at $60. Wish I had known. Regardless I did OK. I try not to look at what it does after I sell. With Netflix its just too much fun not to look at what it does though.
