What are the top 5 stocks to but into, and why?

Answer 1

Without knowing your skill, it's tough to say. Are you looking for growth, dividends, income? Short term, long term?

Given your question, I'm going to presume you might not know that much about investing.

So, first step would be to learn how to invest. If I gave you a great stock today, you might still lose money if you didn't know what to do with it.

A good primer book is How to Make Money in Stocks in Good Times and Bad by William O'Neill. It's very widely available for a good price.

You might also check out thestreet.com and tune in to Mad Money with Jim Cramer on CNBC daily. He's a crazy guy, but you'll learn a decent amount from him just by watching. Don't invest in his suggestions.

Remember, first learn, then practice, then once you're good enough, then you can start with real money. Else, just email me and I'll give you my address so you can send me your money. At least I'll donate it to charity for you. :-)

Seriously, start there and then we'll talk.

Good luck!

P.S. Some of the stocks I like are GS, MS, KSS because they are uptrending stocks in uptrending sectors, a good combination.
