I'd choose royce premier (ryprx)   I have that part of my 401k that they offer at work and for the last year, ( March 2005-2006)  it went up 33.57%.  Plus its 18.74 each share so that would be around 53 shares.   So far since Jan 2006, it went up 11.15%

I agree with vamsy, however I do both so much it is hard to choose whick is best, however when you think of the profit range, I think Google.   because the stock market talks about it alot and it made alot of people that work for them very rich within the last year. ( those that invested in the stocks that is. ) Oh My, I can't believe I overlooked that one!!!! eewwwww!

Invest a million dollars in something that gives 1,000 times return.\nGetting the original million is the tricky part.

If the acquisition is approved by the shareholders then on closing date all shareholders of record will be given $10/share.  That means if you bought the stock at $9, you would make $1/share.  I believe that answers your question, but if you're asking if the stock price has to trade at $10 during market hours, not necessarily.  This is just a broad brushstroke.  If you would like additional details on this feel free to drop me a line.  Good luck!

Take ten million dollars and invest it in the stock market. In a year, you'll have your one million dollars.

I like Scottrade.  You need only $500 dollar to open an account.  It is perfect for small investors.  You can compared  and see for yourself.\n\nhttp://scottrade.com/frame_brokers.asp

I started small, you might want to think about penny stocks, you can buy tons of shares, for hardly any money, but it is very risky. Make sure you have a comfortable amount saved first, then work on investing.

If you have to ask that question in this public forum, I doubt that you are positioned to risk your money in any stock today. Stock market prices are driven by Public Perception and not necessarily by the value or the income of the company. Take a look at Exxon Mobil (XOM) for the last 6 months while oil and gasoline prices were going up. XOM is down 5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial is up 7.5%. Investors who put down their money without doing their homework are easily fleeced by brokers, some who hang around chat rooms hoping to get young investors into their areas of service. Remember one thing if nothing else: stock trading is a net zero business; it produces one loser for each winner, and the loser is usually the little guy who buys (through a broker) what the big guy doesn't want. Study how the market works, find newsletters that have a good history of recommending stocks, invest your money in a step after step manner, maybe 20% each month for 5 months, and be ready to sell even if at a small loss if the value of your selected stock decreases by more than 10-20%. You will have to set your own loss limits. Good luck, but don't rush.

No this stock isn't going anywhere for at least 1 yr.  If you are looking long term it might be good, but there are way better bull markets out there for that kind of risk potential.  Check out SMSI and KAL for a couple of small companies with great potential.

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.

If you invest $14,600,000,000 in a savings account that pays 2.5% annual interest, compounded daily, you will have earned $1,000,000 in interest in one day.\nAlternatively, you could ask one million people for a dollar each, or 10 million people for a dime each, or 100 million people for a penny each.  Personally, I'd go with the penny.

Invest in a high yield stock. Play lottery (Not best idea). Get 2 jobs and keep money from second one and invest? Hmm

Blimey...there is certainly more to you that meets the eye isn't there Mr Raidehz??!! Am completely ignorant on all things business/stock etc...so have to compliment you as I'm sure its all pukka..what you says sounds completely confident and from someone who really knows his stuff...\nSo - a question for you: If I had @ £10,000 to invest, what is the best thing for me to invest it in right now to virtually guarantee good payback within a relatively short timespan......?
