What specific stock have you purchased lately that you believe may be a winner..?

Question

Not sseking advice-just want some ideas.

Answer 1

May be does not count for much is investments. Has been is a more reliable statistic. Look at SAY and CHL both have done very well recently. MSFT looks like it might have turned the corner but I am somewhat sceptical.

Answer 2

With the usual caveats that none of these investments are without risk, and that I accept no responsibility if you actually follow my advice, and that yes I do own stock in these companies...

Omnivision (OVTI)--Makes image sensors, including the chips that make cell phone cameras work. Been absolutely hammered over the past few weeks because of fears of an inventory buildup of cell phone components and of increased competition in the image sensor market. However the company has a number of interesting new markets opening up (auto sensors, medical applications, more powerful cell phone chips, etc) that should counteract eroision in the prices for some of its current products. Sells at a dirt cheap 10-11 times earnings and has a buttload of cash.

Take Two Interactive (TTWO) Makes computer games, including grand theft auto. Sales are way down because gamers are waiting for the PS3 and the Wii to come out and therefore not buying as many games. Electronic Arts (ERTS) and Activision (ATVI) can also be purchased on the same logic, though TTWO is cheaper than most. TTWO has also gotten into some hot water because of the sex scene in GTA, though I doubt this will destroy the company. Has a market cap of 870m a lot of cash and made about 100m only two or three years ago.

Answer 3

There is only one type of stock to buy because it will always go up. Brokers stocks like etrade (et) or TD ameritrade ( amtd ) because you are going to go thru one to buy some stock and every time you go thru a broker they make money..and if the stock you buy goes down you will use a broker to sell them and again the company makes money...They will always be needed because people will always want to invest. td ameritrade will hit $24.00 or better in less than a year.. Buy it low Sell it high....good luck..Date: Aug 28th 2006 see you in less than a year from this date.

Answer 4

The difference between "advice" and "ideas" is moot , at best

You do your own research for

TTWO -for the next round of gamers
TTM -for automotive growth in India
AAUK -for gold and diamonds
DBC - for commodities
BCS- long term banking
Citi, Bank of America, State street...also good plays
SWHC -how can an American NOT buy Smith and Wesson???
PEO- oil, oil, oil
POWN.pk- for Stan Lee's "who wants to be a superhero?"....REALLY Speculative...
EZPW under 30
CWCO under 24
IAF, RNE, IFN, GIM for the dividends

enough????

JNS, JNC, EV, AB, MMC for possible take over plays
ICE, ISE for market consolidation
