if you had to purchase a stock which one would you pick?

Answer 1

Depends on your time horizon. IACI is great. NKE too. ICE has been strong as well.

Hope one of those works! They´ve been great to me. :-)

Answer 2

Honestly, I wouldn't buy on anything people say in Yahoo Answers. The reason is because people are here generally aren't institutional investors, those are the players who know what to buy and when to buy.

The reason I say this is because it is called Odd-Lot Buying Theory. What Odd-Lot buying is when the general investor cant buy in even "lots" of stock (mulitples of 100). What this theory states is that the regular investor can only buy a certain limit of shares, be it 7 shares, 18 shares, 57 shares so on and so on .... why is this a bad thing? Because regular investors are too late when buying into stock. The stock trading programs that the big investors use will even show how many "odd-lots" have been sold and once it hits a certain number they sell because there are too many regular investors are buying in. This is why tons of people lose money in the market. They are too late, the big companies dump their stock and we, the regular investor, cant sell in time.

Another reason you cant trust anyone one here, are they trying to manipulate a stock price? By having other people buy stock, it will go up only so high when its not based on good info and then the manipulator will dump their shares.

Answer 3

I don't buy individual stocks, but I do buy mutual funds. I first look for a fund that has been in existence for at least 10 years. I do not look at the current month or current year's returns; I look at either the 10 year return or the return since inception. I prefer a fund w/ low expenses if possible. I generally don't buy in sector funds either. I buy and hold; I am not looking for the latest craze, and I did not sell when so many other people did. This method has worked well for me.

Answer 4

A company that makes a product that I use, know and believe in. Is there a brand of clothing or cosmetic or cleaning product that you think is the best? Well other people probably do to so it will continue to sell. You want to buy stock in a company that will continue to earn well.

Answer 5

To a similiar question the other day, I suggested Northern Orion Resources (Symbol NTO). They mine copper and gold in Argentina. Copper is starting to increase in price again based on demand from China. This bodes well for NTO. I bought a bunch more today. Here's my response the other day:

Take a look at NTO (NNO on the Toronto Stock Exchange), a copper/gold miner out of Vancouver BC with a 12.5% share of an active mine in Argentina and sole owner of a mine about to be developed. They are actively looking to form a joint venture (JV) and it's expected they should announce one by the end of May. That announcement should be worth $1.50+ a share. They are currently trading at $4.10 and have about $1.20 per share cash in the bank. If you look at the technical analysis on the stock, it has broken out above trend and my target is $7.00 mid-year.
