There's not really any one answer to your question without asking you a series of questions in return. There are no sure things in the stock market and beating the stock market is a difficult thing to do. If you are looking for a $5 stock that will triple it's value in days, weeks or months, you are among millions of people who would like the same answer. The key to stocks is time, research, and patience. Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. History tells you that there have been serious crashes in the stock market over the years. Look at the dot com stocks that sailed up, up, up and then gone. People lost irreplaceable amounts of money. Stick with the popular stocks like Coke, Disney, Microsoft, etc. that have been around and will be around but bail out as they rise and then fall at a certain point. It's better to lose some money than all. There are a number of tv shows and magazines and websites that can help you make informed decisions but there are no "safe" stocks. If you check this same question in the archives you will get alot of tips from others who are eager to help you invest your money since its not theirs. Invest with your head, not over it and hang in there with some of the rises and falls. There are natural. Oh, and as for the prices on stocks, they change daily so what I would answer today may not be true on Monday morning or Monday evening.

Google all you can find on index funds. It's really about the best way to invest in the stock market. It's what I did. Everything is on autopilot and doing very well.

It's an ETF that is 'double short' the Dow Industrial Average. It trades on AMEX...no guarantees though as it falls if stock market rises.... $68each , put in $10,000 til Thanksgiving-ish
addl, set a stop-loss at about $60 which would take you out if the Dow does rally to around 11850(its 11,300 now)

J.M. Smucker Co.
My brother works for this company. This is not why you should invest. However, it is considered one of the best 100 companies in the U.S. to work for.
Can't tell you how much to invest. Look over the information and decide on your own.
They make good jelly products. Smucker's owns Pillsbury, Jiff Peanut Butter and other companies. They have diversified.

This may be kind of vague, but a financial advisor that I know says not to invest your money into any business that you do not understand. And do not invest more than you can stand to lose. It is a bit of a gamble.

There are lots of nice ones out there right now: Microsoft, GE, TimeWarner, Ebay etc...
A little more aggressive would be Emcore, Nitromed, Harmonic, Cryolife.
I like Cryolife and Emcore personally.

I concur with learning as much as possible about index funds. If you are asking on Yahoo then you obviously are not a sophisticated trader and most likely will be fleeced by the salesmen out there.
