If you had to invest in one stock to hold for 1 year or less, what would it be?

Answer 1

Since you will be paying ordinary income taxes on holdings of less than one year, whatever you pick hold it 1 yr and a day and you will then pay Capital gains taxes of 15%. Assuming you are at the lowest tax rate of 20% thats still a 5% additional profit for just 1 day. Anyway pick a stock likely to continue producing good results like an oil stock

Answer 2

Any good stock, but I would probably use a CFD when the market falls and starts rising. Etrade UK has CFDs, as well as some other good companies. I would not recommend using CFD services with less known companies because there are still a lot of scams in this area.

Also, there is a company called Maxwell Capital that has emerging markets mutual funds with yields up to 220% in the period of last 1.5 years. Although the number sounds a bit funny, the company is reliable. I am not sure that it will continue giving such profits, though, maybe it was just a strike of luck for them and their investors.

Answer 3

Safe investment = MO (Altria Group) - pays 4% dividend plus will probably rise due to the fact that they are spinning off Kraft and Phillip Morris Domestic

Risky Investment (but may be extremely profitable) = ICOC - no dividend but it has been on a tear lately; good balance sheet, no debt; growth is amazing. Closed just under 6 today, should be in the 8-10 range in 1 yr if all goes well

Answer 4

That is one of the really tough questions in investing. Is the stock a good long term investment or is it speculative in nature. If the latter you may want to go ahead and take your profit. If the former, it would be a very big mistake to sell. There are thousands of people who bought Microsoft back in the 80's and took their quick profit and have been kicking themselves ever since. On the other hand if you have a very large position in the stock, it might be wise to take some of your profit since the market has been very choppy lately and may be headed lower.
