I'll give you three.

Tip #1 - don't invest any money that you can't afford to lose. The best investors do not win 100% of the time. Since you're not in that league yet, you must be prepared to take a loss, even if you don't actually take one.

Tip #2 - educate yourself so you know what to do when. Even if I give you a stock that goes through the roof tomorrow and next week, if you don't know HOW to trade it, you'll give all your money right back to the market, and then some!


Tip #3 - Retail is moving well. Specifically, AEOS, ANF, KSS for example are doing nicely. But, remember rule #2.

Hope that helps!

Determine your risk tolerance and invest accordingly. If you want to minimize your downside potential or have a short investment horizon, find companies with low P/E ratios and a large market capitalization. These companies are referred to as blue chips. Market cap size can indicate the growth rate of a company. Typically, the larger the market cap, the more stable and less growth potential a company has. The downside of investing in a blue chip can be missing out on large returns.

Various interpretation of a particular P/E ratio are possible:

* 0-13 - Either the stock is undervalued or the company's earnings are thought to be in decline.
* 14-20 - For many companies a P/E ratio in this range may be considered fair value.
1. The average U.S. equity P/E ratio is usually around 14, meaning it takes about 14 years for a company you purchase to earn back your full purchase price for you.
2. Average P/E over the entire market is a good indicator of overall market strength.
* 21-28 - Either the stock is overvalued or the company's earnings have increased since the last earnings figure was published.
* 28+ - A company whose shares have a very high P/E either really does have an exceptionally rosy future or the stock may be the subject of a speculative bubble.
* A company with no earnings has an undefined P/E ratio.

Of course, the best advice is to find a financial advisor to further evaluate your risk tolerance. First ask family and friends for trusted financial advisors that they invest their money. Do not use a first year financial advisor or “rookie”. Invest with first that are reputable and are publicly traded: Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, etc.

Go to AOL see stock picks Cramer. He has a show on TV. The funny thing is people listen to the screaming guy.

He recommends a stock and it goes up for the next two or three days. They are now calling it the Cramer effect.

But you need to get in early and out when you hit your goal.

Good luck

Goodness, you must be desperate if you are asking perfect strangers for hot tips. And short term to boot. Sorry, I do not have any. I am a long term investor. I would suggest that you become the same and stop trying to get rich overnight.

Buy low, sell high.
ALGN is a good one.
GTW is a great play for the upcoming X-mas season.
