All i can tell you is that there is no such thing as a short term investment when it comes to the stock market. anything can either cause the price to go up or down. what im trying to say is its to hard to gauge what your stock is going to do, over a period of one or two weeks, trying to make money in a short time is a crapshoot. I have always liked the stocks Silver Wheaton closed today @ 12.17, Mindspeed Technologies Inc. (MSPD) colsed today a 1.80 ( very risky) but what i can tell you with stocks like MSPD and GTW ( gateway) closed today at 1.85 if you chose to buy at least 300 shares. if it goes up to the 2-4 dollar range sell half and wait. if it goes up still more to the 5-7 dollar range sell the other half. this may take a while, so you also need to half a limit on how low you will go. Set a .45 cent limit that you will sell no matter what. and if ur not comfotable with the info i gave you on it going up set a increase limit of 70 cents that u will sell no matter what.

I do not know how to answer your question. What do you mean by "good short"? If I give you a stock symbol, that is in an uptrend or has a high probability of going up, will you know when to sell to retain your profits or to retain most of your initial investment if I am wrong.. The uptrend may only last a day, a week, or a month. I use a set of buy rules. You should use a set of sell rules designed to go with the buy rules. How will you know when to sell? Who will you ask? Read and learn about technical analysis and swing trading. Try ASTI, or GRMN. I currently own both of these. Good luck. Having luck is executing with a prepared mind.

Short term investments generally shouldn't be in stocks. Risk and reward walk hand-in-hand down Wall Street. Any stock that might give you a good reward in the short term might also give you a nasty loss. For short term investments, think about money market funds (especially those that invest only in U.S. Treasury securities), and bank and credit union CDs and money market accounts. These investments don't offer very high returns, but the chances of loss are very low.

I think that there will be good buying in the mortgage battered stocks. I f you think about it everything rebounds quickly, but these stocks have on-going problems.
By keeping your eye on these..do your research...you will invest in a gem that either grows and doubles and triples with time or gets taken over by a bigger company.
Morgages are BIG business...don't be fooled by current circumstances. Warren Buffet himself is probably looking at the same thing.
Lending money is not going out of style anytime soon.
As for quick profits...look at the this video..for ideas:

Great. You want investment advise from strangers whose qualifications and motives you can never know.
You expect them to know what stock is going up in a short period of time (this info is only known to Yahoo Answer members, the secret multi millionaires).
Good luck with that!

I'm guessing Apple's recent price swoon will turn out to be temporary. Of course this may just be wishful thinking on the part of a stockholder!
Good luck.
