Run a Ponzi scheme, but be sure to have an escape route planned out ahead of time.

What about with one single position with a 24% gain?

There's no "method" to make 18% every 2 weeks.
You can gamble on penny stocks, and hope to get lucky. Expect to "Win some, Lose some".

[Ecyph]

$5000

[Homebrew]

How much are you investing ?

[Ecyph]

There is NO SUCH THING as LUCK, YOU GENERATE YOUR OWN CIRCUMSTANCES (Money), Now you got a METHOD or NO! NoBS!!!

[Homebrew]

I have an investment tool here...it is a gold price investment where you place your capital on gold price in the market. When the price of the gold market rise you sell and when the price of the gold market goes down you buy. The market is erratic but stable. Should I go ahead with this investment or go for other stock options? Need help.....

Hi Dibs01. I am with etrade and have been with them since their inception 14-15 years ago. I highly recommend them. Simple $9.99 trade fees to buy and sell and no other fees/commissions.

Looking for broker to begin investing. Is there a board post area for broker pros/cons?

[Garyst]

Good Post and you'll do well using common sense thinking in investing as you wrote there in your post.

[Tasslehoff]

Yea I know thanks:) I'm holding on to this. I have just a small investment so it not feasable to sell. Juast due to the ameritrade fees. but they have tons of patents out and new products and distribution nation wide and looks like a real good long term hold which is what I'm looking for. Hopefully to build a real good gain then have more to play with elsewhere. Only the money I can afford to loose to I have invested lol. But I need to start somewhere :)

[Garyst]

Tasslehoff, nice day for you being in SPOM being up 40% today. Good job!

Tasslehoff, Kudos to you for starting the Board here and taking the initiave to do so. Many are new to investing each and every day and are looking for answers. Unfortunately many Newbies get thrown to the side here on the Boards and that is wrong. Nice job here with your Board and I marked your Board as #3!

I know doing your DD is basically investingating the stock and researching but what does DD actually stand for? I'm extremely bad with most of the abbreviations people use lol

[Tasslehoff]

lol I'm starting to agree but is still fun for me righht now

[Stockadamus]

Here we go !!!! ENJOY

[blinkers88]

Don't invest in penny stocks lol

[StockPrez]

You're welcome. Yeah, it takes a long time to know what's going on.

[Tasslehoff]

Thanks. That was always confusing and did not know what they were talking about. Im slowly starting to feel a bit more informed :)

[Tasslehoff]

I would love to help but the three I have invested in bombed lol. The one I have the most hopes for is OPHI but not sure how it will go yet. They got involved with a firm called Asher which has driven their price down considerably. But if they get them out of there it looks like it will be OK I'm hoping. I'm still learning and found the best thing is really research the company on y7our own and don't trust many people on the board. They all have their own agendas whether its to drive the price down so they can get more shares at a lower price or to talk it up good so they can dump there shares and get out and leave you stuck. The good thing is I only invest small amounts right now and only as much as I can lose. Almost like going to Vegas lol. But it has been fun and a learning experience. One I am watching that I think may be good but still on the fence is BCCI Baristas coffe. But like I said I have not won on anything yet just the ones I have been looking at. If you find any good leads I love to hear of them too. Good luck and Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

The float is basically the amount of shares that can be bought and sold between traders. For example, a company may have 100 million shares outstanding. If 20 million are restricted shares, then the float would be 80 million shares.

By the way, there is a board similar to this one:

And GOOD lUCK INVESTING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
