What some good stocks to invest in?

Question

Well, I'm new to stocks and what are some good stocks that raise your money, in a matter of about 3 months or so. Also, any tips on investing?

Answer 1

Your question truly reveals the fact that you are a newbie. :)

Sorry that I have to say that because no professional traders will try to convince themselves that there are stocks that will "raise your money in a matter of 3 months or so." .

Why is that so? Let me ask you a simple series of questions :

1. Can you guarantee that a market crash don't hit us within the next 3 months?

2. Can you guarantee that bad news of some high level screw up don't hit the "best stock" in your portfolio within the next 3 months. (example : ENRON)

3. Can you guarantee that oil prices will not suddenly shoot through the roof within the next 3 months? (since it has the potential to move more than 30% in the last 3 months)

4. Can you guarantee that the Fed will not raise interest rates during any of the 3 Fed meetings over the next 3 months?

These and many more market moving elements simply cannot be predicted and therefore there is no way to satisfy a "guaranteed" 3 months return on stocks... in fact, not even government bonds can give you that guarantee.

That is why over the past decade, I have been a professional swing trader that trades with a 10 to 15 days horizon. That is because short swing trends exposes us to the least market risk per trade due to shorter time span and gives us a more reliable technical move.

Investing or trading the stock markets never start from asking what stocks will raise your money in 3 months... it starts from adequate investment and trading knowledge. There are quite a number of things you need to learn before you can even start thinking of the stock markets ...

1. You need to understand how the stock market works and what it is exactly about.

2. You need to know what are the different styles of trading in stocks and shares.

3. You need to read about why so many people lose their shirts in the stock markets so that you can avoid their mistakes and also decide if this is a risk you want to take.

For all these issues and more, you can read about them from some of the articles that I wrote at http://www.mastersoequity.com/articles.h...

After you are adequately armed with the basic concepts and ideas, you need to know how to find profitable stocks to trade or invest in. You can do that the easy way by subscribing to stock pick services (example http://www.stockpickmaster.com ) or you can learn to use charting tools and softwares to find stocks with parameters that you can pre-define. (example http://www.worden.com )

All in all, investment and trading is a lifelong education and non stop learning. No one is ever done learning and catching up with changes in the markets.

Hope these information helps.

Here's the best financial advice you'll ever get;

Don't take stock tips. Don't get "stock ideas" from unknown sources. Don't use any advice for stock picking on this forum. You might as well just send me a check!

You are making the number one mistake new investors make (#2 is buying penny stocks on tips or before you truly understand investing..... but that's really part of rule #1).

Learn investing first. Take a year. Read... Read.... Read....

Never (ever) invest in anything or company you don't fully understand. Start with an "Asset Allocation" and follow it!!!!!!!!!

Consider me begging you to reconsider your approach. What you're doing is not only ignorant... it's scary for your financial health.

I think the best way to get started investing is to see what the best traders are buying and selling. This is the idea behind the site http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas.
