no one can accurately predict what stocks will do. if they tell you they can, they are either lying or doing something very very illegal.

StockPicker and Hoa know what they are talking about.
So what to do now?
I give a stock a specific period to start moving towards my price objective for it. Failing that, I would pick a strong day, hopefully with some good news or hype and sell the ones not moving up. Typically if I have 5 stocks, I sell the worst performing one and take half the cash and put it into one of the others. The other half cash I hold.
Lets Go BOTTOM FISHING and find some stocks that are "Relatively" low, and could over time, rise.
1/ Go to www2.barcharts.com
2/ Select "Sectors" from the home menu
3/ When you get to sectors, select the "Worst 100
Performing Sectors".
4/ Work up from the bottom, finding by the charts,
sectors that have flattened out or turned up.
5/ Find sector component stocks by clicking on the
sector group.
6/ Analyze stocks from the group to find ones that
will pass the Fundamental Ratio Tests of
Key Statistics as listed in Yahoo Finance.
7/ Once you isolate 4-8 groups with a stock or two
from each group, you can then assess their
fundamental FUTURE prospects, and IF you
work at it;
8/ Embark on some basic technical analysis IF you
have found some fundamentally sound stocks.

This should take awhile, but worth it
Hope you find this helpful.

Good Luck

With the obvious proviso that you should be very careful of stock tips you pick up on Yahoo finance, here are a couple of companies that I'm interested in at the moment.

Omnivision Technologies (OVTI). The company makes the image sensors that make cell phone cameras work (among other things.) Trading at a PE under 12, with a lot of cash on hand, little or no debt a ROE of 21% (give or take) and very strong earnings prospects. (The cell phone market as a whole is booming, a greater percentage of cell phones sold include camera chips, and the company owns the rights to a technology that ensures that photos will always be in focus and eliminates the annoying pause between when you click to take a picture and the picture is actually taken. The company is also getting into the medical device market.)

Take Two Interactive (TTWO) This is the company that makes the Grand Theft Auto franchise, as well as other games such as Prey. The video game market is having an off year because a lot of people are waiting until the new video game systems come out before buying new games. A lot of the video game manufacturers are also spending money on product development which sucks money out of their coffers in the short term but should help them make a lot of cash in the next few years. A good sectorwide buying opportunity IMHO. TTWO seems relatively cheaper than some of its competitors, though its landed in hot water over hidden sex scenes in GTO. You might also consider Electronic Arts (ERTS) or Activision (ATVI).

Again this is free advice. I accept no responsibility if you take my advice and it turns out to be bad. You should always do due dilligence on any investing advice anyone (including me) gives you before you actually throw money at a company. The only guarantee I can give you is that I will lose cash as well as you if the stock does go down. Good luck.

I am not going to recommend aything because I don't know how much you have to invest. What I will say is this...If you have only a little to spend or risk it's better to stay away from individual stocks and buy a mutual fund. The reason s simple...Maybe you can afford to buy a few hundred shares of a couple stocks...that won't diversify you sufficiently to absorb the risks inherent in the market...a mutual fund will. Now if you've plenty to invest and can buy 12-18 different securities than more power to you...I'd still prefer that you seek a Financial Advisor (a recommended one from friends w/$$$ or family w/$$$) to suggest products. I am in a product that is a managed portfolio of stocks similar to a mutual fund, but I actually own the euqities myself and they're professionally managed for me. It's really a good program...through GE Capital Financial (not recommending...just saying have this through my planner and am happy with it). PEACE!

If you own Lucent and Sirius, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for many returns.
Stocks may be historically "undervalued" but their prices are going to get significantly lower.

fundamental analysis ( economic data, maangement, compettition,insider trade, business model, financial health)===>>that tell you what to buy

technical analysis( charts+technical indicators)==>>tell you "when" to buy

Contrarian approach==>>mood of investor, when everyone have high optimism for stock market(time to sell), when everyone pessimism(time to buy)
