Since you're already just throwing money at the market, Here's three suggestions:\n\n1. Save up $1000 and make one good trade at a time. Don't worry about being left behind. Check out how William O'Neil trades, how Gary Kaltbaum trades, how Warren Buffett trades.\n\n2. Put it in mutual funds.\n\n3. Buy a single call option on awesome companies. Read William J. O'Neil's How to Make Money in Stocks. This is the most risky proposition of the three. Highest possible pay off too. You seem to like risk though! :-) Just keep in mind, if they're out of the money when they expire, they go to zero!\n\nOptions are not for everyone, they are very risky.

One good choice would be to invest in a no-load mutual fund. I suggest either T.Rowe Price, Vanguard, or Fidelity.  Here are a couple of websites to help you choose a good performer.  Don't let an investment representative fool you into thinking he's worth the 5% or more commission he'll charge.  You can do your own homework, and probably get better results.  I know I do.  Good luck.  Don't be intimidated.\n\nhttp://screen.morningstar.com/fundsearch/FundRank.html http://biz.yahoo.com/p/top.html\nhttp://screen.morningstar.com/fundsearch/FundRank.html

Well I recently invested in the stock market with 1k. I baught LOGI at like 25.80 and its up to 27.50 or something so I'm doing rather well for myself I'd say! I use Scottrade...(if you want to sign up let me refer you so we both get 3 free trades...they dont give you anything if no one refers you) send your email to cammyton@yahoo.com if you are insterested.\n\nP.S I am planning on investing in toshiba next I think because they are rather cheap and I believe they are a part of that new BlueRay DVD thing coming out.

With $200 dollars a month, you might want to sign up for a 401k plan from an online brokerage firm while picking one or two mutual funds.  As long as you consistently deposit the amount of $200 dollars, you should realize a relatively fair or modest return.  It will also reduce your taxable income, saving you money on taxes and increasing your future retirement funds.  \n\nHowever, if you're looking for a higher return investment, allocate it to a money market ING Direct account.  I believe their offering 4.75%, which is a modest return but it offers you greater liquidity.  After a year, you might then swap it into a brokerage account and then invest it in growth stocks that can generate a higher return.

Looks like a scam to me.  If you are looking to invest your money, you may want to try an index fund.  You won't double your money with an index fund in 70 weeks, but you also are much less likely to lose your money in an index fund.\n\nSomething that has worked in the past was following my mothers advice, "Invest in companies that make things you like."  So if you really like Nike shoes, invest in Nike, or if you really like shopping at Walmart, invest there.  If you really like Gold, buy Gold.

Talk to your bank about investing in a mutual fund. Ask for high growth and moderate risk. The reason I suggest this is because it is obvious you know little or nothing of investing, this is what I would buy. You wont see the kind of returns on any other unmanaged investment.\n\nBest Wishes

Buy stock of GTL as many as you can.\nBelieve me, you will bathe in gold one day.

Donate 10% to charity and invest the rest. Find a broker nearby and that money could grow into something even more useful.

I'd suggest speaking to a stockbroker about costs etc, and the returns would depend on the performance of the company.  I think they're about £4 a share just now, and they performed very well last year.  I've thought about it too because Tesco seem to be taking over the world just now...!

'John Blaze' is full of sh*t; you don't need $25K to daytrade. Open a brokerage account. Study John Murphy, "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets". Don't trust money managers; they will rip you off. Take control of your money. Find a stock that has huge price swings daily or weekly such as Juniper Networks or Redback Networks. These are high 'beta' stocks. Depending on your age, part of your portfolio should be speculative. If you are in your 20s and your portfolio is less than 100K, then definitely you should be using your knowledge and investing in high beta stocks to profit greatly from their daily and weekly price swings. You have the years to do that. 'Short' the stock when it goes down, and go 'Long' when it goes up. As your portfolio grows to a couple Mil or so, then you can pull back and put some of it in stuff that is a little lower beta such as the QQQ. As an example of how well you can do by taking control of your money: if just do your normal 1% per day on that 100K porfolio over a year through profiting from the swings, how much would you have after one year? You got it my friend, way over $$$1Mil!! Give it whorl, go for it!

You are asking for a 45% annual compounded return!  It is possible to do that if you get very lucky witb a very small portfolio of small stocks.  It is also possible to win the lottery.  Neither of these alternatives is really "investing", they are both gambling.  By the way, anyone who says they know how to that is either lying or delusional.

I would open an account with sharebuilder, there are very cheap and you do not have to buy tons of stocks. They have good investment tools also. In my opinion, the most important thing is to be consistant and make sure you are putting something away every week or month. It becomes a good habit and the money starts to pile up.

If you know nothing about the stock market and have a lot of money to invest the $4200.00 price tag for wizetrade or any of the other such tools out there may be worth it.  But then again if you don't know anything about the market you should stick to mutual funds.

I would suggest practicing your investing skills at http://www.top10traders.com  This is a totally FREE site. You can create your own portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in 'play' money, and then watch how your stocks compare against other traders. \n\n The site lists out which investors are doing the best and what stocks they have bought. Just click on the portfolio of the best investors and you can see the stocks they like.  \n\nGood luck !

Yahoos stock will slowly and steadily go up over the next 3 years in my estimation.\nIt is not a stock you will be able to retire on, but it is a good addition to your stock portfolio.
