Well I only just graduated day trading 101 after three years of doing it for a living. And only managed to do that by hanging out with the turnips for the last 7-8 months. I'm working on 201 now. <g>

To start with, NO, NO, NO. <g> You do realize you are on a day trading board? Second, you do realize we are in a bear market? In other words things have a tendcy to go down. I hope this isn't a surprise to you, but because of that tendcy, long tern, as you say 6-12 months, does NOT work. Oooooh.

You say you are looking for easy money. What makes you think there is "easy" money in the stock market? Who told you or where did you learn that? About those stocks, how did you come to pick them? Most of those look like rocket fuel stocks. Rocket fuel is highly explosive. Just a guess, but that is probably why they use it as rocket fuel. <g>

Now look at your fingers. Do they look burnt? Rocket fuel tends to do that. It's not reccomended you try and keep it around for 6-12 months. And certainly not in a bear market.

I don't really follow those stocks other than QCOM. QCOM is at most a few weeks to month or so hold, depending on the markets. Remember me are in a bear market, things can and do go down. Since I don't know your situtation, it's hard to give you reccomendations.

First thing you should probably ask yourself, what am I doing in the stock market? Second is to look at how to manage the risk. How much risk can you or are you willing to take? This may sound stupid, but there aren't any guarantees. You can and probably will lose money. Just ask me. <g> The more you know the less risk. If you decide to stay in the markets for that "easy" money you are going to have to become a student of the markets. No way around it. If you don't have the time or inclination, it might not be for you. Good luck.
