If so, what are you likeing these days? I am thinking the Fed will give a rate cut in Septemeber which will give the market a nice boost. I am going to start taking a few new positions, but I am always interested in hearing what people like in terms of invesments.

Activision (ATVI).

I invested a paltry $600 or so in this near the end of 2001 (November
or December--I can't recall exactly), the day after its first stock split.
Since that time, it has had four additional splits, and has more than
quadrupled in value.

Video games are big business. If you go into this sector, go for either
Activision (ATVI) or Electronic Arts (ERTS), which are the two biggest
players in the sector. I would advise staying away from Take Two (TTWO),
Atari (ATAR, or whatever it's going as these days), and THQ.

Later!

mourneblade, I agree with you. GameStop has been taking off as of late and so has Nintendo (though not traded in the US market.)

Right now, I really like energy stocks. I know you are not supposed to put all your eggs in one basket, but I just don't see oil being replaced anytime soon and it keeps going up. Exxon, Cheveron, Schlumbeger are my biggest holdings. I also have one gold stock (Yamana Gold). My other holding is in McDonalds, because it does not seem people are getting any skinnier anymore.

Anyway, I am always looking for ideas to make my dough grow. It makes me feel less guilty when I buy expensive gear.

I agree, with WR, I know nothing about that.

I know Kristena and Ivan' both now about Economics and such.

But to me it was the most boring class I ever took in school.
plus it didn't help that the Teacher and I got off to a bad start almost right away.

he said he lost alot of money in the stock market,
and I said, yeah those who can't do, teach.
the class erupted in laughter, and he was furious.

You usually will do well by investing in solid "household name" companies, that have a history of consistant profitability. As with any purchase, don't overpay, buy those stocks when they on discounted. Find the 52 week high and buy in when they fall to 10 to 20% off that price.

Pick of the week Coldwater Creek. A solid no-frils fashion company that has a good management team and has not strayed from its core business plan. For those that complain about bid oil, I suggest taking a look at Exxon stock history. Go back to September 2003 check the price then and current price. Tell me how much a $300 investment then would be worth today.
