The coffee craze will mature and eventually we will see consolidation. Look for smaller publicly traded coffee companies to become attractive to the larger companies. Smaller companies will become in demand and their stock price will rise.

I suggest you see if your local library has Value Line, which is a company that writes one-page research reports on most stocks. Check out some samples here. Most research reports are crap, but Value Line's tend to be pretty reliable over the long term. I try to see what's ranked 1 or 2 for Timeliness and Safety, which means it's projected to do well but not be too volatile. I also read the reports and see if I like what the company is doing (i.e. if they were selling bread during the Atkins diet craze, I'd stay away).

First tip: Dont ask for tips. The tips you get are usually bad or the guy giving the tip wants someone(you) to buy his junk stock that he cant sell.
Second tip: Get Investors Business Daily (IBD) newspaper. One of the better news sources. Third tip: Be prepared to lose money. Its gonna happen sooner or later. It is stressfull. Be also prepared when you make money. It is joyous, which is dangerous because it can affect your judgement. Its like being drunk, and is similar to gambing...and we all know that gamblers anonymous exists for a reason. Just be aware that the money isnt just numbers on a ticker or numbers to throw around; it is money, food on your table...your retirement or what have you, it is money- not numbers. Have fun

My tip?
Dump your Scottrade account, buy Class III and play with your investments while they appreciate faster than your stocks would have. You're welcome. |

Delta Airlines (DAL) is tempting, it's reached a 43 year low a couple days ago, sometimes stocks of companies on the verge of bankruptcy will bounce back alot, and sometimes they dont. Take your chances I guess

No need to complicate things. Forget individual stocks for now. Get a good mutual fund like VTSMX and make sure to re-invest the dividends.
Check out misc.invest.mutual-funds or misc.invest.stocks. A book you might consider reading, A Random Walk Down Wall Street. Not heavy reading, but very enlightening. I enjoy listeneing to Bob Brinker but he tries hard not to let the cat out the bag on his radio show, therefore forcing you subscribe to his news letter: http://www.bobbrinker.com. You might also consider http://www.fundx.com or http://www.fabian.com. Good luck. |

+1 for Value line also realize that most discount brokers want you to trade. Don't trade to much find a position and stick with it. Heres my dull scottrade porfolio TMA, XLU, XLE, RIG,SII, NBR,DENN, RHAT,ADSX, VLEOX,VALIX,VALSX. and a few others up 11 % this year. |

My advice - people should do their homework. It's fine to ask for 'tips' on stocks but they really are meaningless without doing your own research. Never buy anything that ANYONE - ANYONE recommends until YOU have studied the financials and know alot about the company. Start by reading Peter Lynches books. Easy reads and very informative. Get them at the library. Stock tip???? Plastics my son, plastics. (the old guys will know the movie this comes from) |

You have to learn the difference btwn investing and speculation. Buy DAL if you want, but don't say you weren't warned. You seem to want to jump on board a sinking ship. There must be some kind of investing radio show in your area you can call up and ask before throwing your money away. Seriously, go ahead and check out some of the links I posted and maybe pick up that Malkiel book. For now dollar cost average into a good index fund like VTSMX, or ETF like SPY. |

Scottrade has a great new tool! Trailing Triggers! USE THEM! I set a 10% trailing stop (aka trailing trigger) on every stock in my Scottrade account. This means that if you buy a stock and set a trailing stop at 10% of the stock price, the stock will sell automatically if the price drops 10% or more (you can set this at any amount you want) Now here is the best part..... say the stock goes up 40% your trigger "follows" it upward, so say the stock now drops 10% it will sell and you will still have a 30% gain.
Yes I know trailing stops are confusing, but take the time to read about them on the site. I just bought the following last few weeks, and yes I have a 10% trailing stop on all of them! take it for what it is worth: COH MOT CLW DNA EMC ET WAG ELBO These are great companies! Always buy quality companies!!! Never buy a POS company, EVER! I already bought some COH in 12/04 and it is up over 40% some ELBO in 12/04 and it is up over 65% and my CLW is already up about 8% in less than a week! Don't ever just jump into anyones "stock tip" even if it comes from Mad Money.... be sure to do your own homework. |

I saw a posting in GD saying there was an upcoming shortage of silicon.
I bought Komatsu who mines silicon @ $28.00 It's now at $46.00 Look for insight in odd places and then do a lot of research. Jim Cramer has a good show. Right now check out the energy/natural gas sector. Reearch some of the companies affected by Katrina see who will be getting their business. Good luck!! |

You should'nt buy a single stock unless your financially "set" for life IMO. Till then I'd stick with mutual funds. They're less of a 'chance'. Sept 2005 "kiplingers" magizine has GREAT information on the aray of Funds available.
