This is really it. Just looking for something to try in the market. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
If I had $1,000 at play, I would not invest it in the market, unless you are just doing it to learn how the market works, and learn better with some skin in the game. And this is coming from someone who loves this kind of stuff. I would invest it in something I could control and earn a return on both my time and money, rather than just money. Barring that (if you don't have time available), I would probably buy a Colt 6920 and stick in the back of the safe. This is really it. Just looking for something to try in the market. Ok cool. If it's just for learning and you don't mind losing it, this is what I would do: 1) sign up for one of the "pretend" trading accounts. for example: http://www.marketwatch.com/game/ 2) pick some high volatility stocks (basically some that are pretty risky and with prices that tend to jump around all the time. example: Netflix (NFLX), LinkedIn (LNKD), Tesla (TSLA). There are plenty of them out there. 3) mess around with these stocks with play money for a while (few months) until you get comfortable with how they work 4) Do the same with your $1,000 of real money once you feel ok about it - be prepared to lose some or all of this money because you probably will 5) Graduate and consider doing the same with options contracts Investing in an index fund is like watching paint dry - it serves its purpose if you are saving for retirement and have no where else productive to put your money. But if we are just talking $1,000 of play money, the end result - if things go really really well in the world and the fund goes up by 8% a year, is that your $1,000 will double in about 10 years. At that time, you will have $2,000. A new Colt (as I mentioned above) will cost $2,000 by then. |

Send me the $1k to invest and I will return $1.25k. In the mean time I need you to find 3 people willing to invest $1k and make sure to let them know you will also be returning $1.25k within a month. Don't even joke about shit like that. SEC will give you an anal probe. OP, seriously, I have a few single stocks....WalMart, Costco, and Disney have all done quite well. (Past performance is no guarantee of future success). A couple others... not so well,fortunately didn't bet a lot on those. Generally, I like to invest in companies whose products I (or at least many other people) like and use. I'd advise against investing in either airlines or banks. My experience with those has been very bad - but I was stupid and listened to investment advisors. |

Buy 10 Spikes stripped lowers and then wait for the next panic buy. For a non FFL, I'd suggest mags or ammo rather than receivers. If you must speculate in firearms as a non FFL buy one $1k 6920 rather than a bunch of stripped lowers. Better to sell one gun for triple your money rather than a bunch of cheap guns for three times your money. |

I'd recommend UTX
On average their stock doubles in value every 5 years and has done so for the past 30 years. You also get dividends which will pay more than any savings account. |

What single stock would it be invested in? Johnson and Johnson. Ticker: JNJ Current price $107.10 You can buy 9 shares JNJ pays a dividend of $2.80 per share a year which equals $25.20 JNJ has increassed divdends straight for 51 years. The last 5 years the average increase was ~6.5 %. The last increase was 8%. But lets be conservative and give it a forward looking growth rate of 5%. If you buy and hold you stock, don't reinvest the dividends(this makes the simulation a little harder to type out)...... in 10 years, your yearly dividend total will be:$39 in 20 years. $63 in 30 years.. $103 In 30 years, you will be earning 10.3% interest on your money. You will have recieved $1673 dollars back from the company but still have your initial investment turning $1000 into $2673. Inflation will make that $2673 worth ~$1168 using historic numbers. Keep in mind there will be taxes with these gains. Keep in mind this isn't guaranteed. Keep in mind this isn't "Buy gold. Markets are manipulated" crap that most people too stupid to learn the market keep shouting from the roof tops. |

It's purely speculative but if it would have gone the other way he would have been out the $2000 and not be forced to hold COW or deliver actual cattle to someone. |

You must deal with a bank that doesn't have a investment arm. because they would have sent you right over to the bank broker.
anyway. she was right. a CD IRA isn't paying above inflation so your real return would have been negative. Outside of the FDIC bank world there is a whole plethora of investments that no one here ever talks about. Private equity, private paper, managed money etc. You never hear that here on arf.com because everyone is so caught up with ETF vs Mutual fund and the markowitz theory that they don't have the resources to learn about other investment vehicles or don't care to learn. |
