Well at least you're realistic about it. Also, just to add to my previous post about the Foreign Exchange market - 90% of people lose money trading in this market. It takes months of reading and years of practice to make money. Right now I'm in the "months of reading" phase.

However, all the negatives aside, I personally know someone making over $50K a month (he's my mentor, if you will). I just hope to make a few bucks on the side... I'll let you know how that pans out :P

Usually IPO's are sold to big companies and joe blow can't just waltz in and buy that ---- up.

i wouldn't mess with investing unless you have 4k+ to throw around.

commission and brokerage is expensive; $5k min perhaps.

to the op, just look at the top 5 shares for a start, track their prices, and buy when they bottom out.

INVEST WITH A COMPANY CALLED JONES SOFT DRINK COMPANY They dont use corn seruipe of how ever it's spelled and they use sugar cane. CORN is on the rise for biodesil. I bought 3000 shares with my tax return and I already gained 243 back. They are on the rise while the other use corn syrupe they have a cheaper market with a great monthly collectors items like PUKE, BARF, Foot FUNGUS, ITCHY SCRACH drink's and so forth. INVEST IN THEM. 20% MARK UP IN tha LAST `18 QUARTERS

lol, its pretty bad when the company you recommend is listed in an article titled "Worst CEO of the year".

besides where are you getting this info from, from what i see that stock dropped 3.34% to 5.79 a share, it started the year at 32.60 a share and has went down ever since, i do see why its recommended though because its cheap and they did just sign a deal with alaskan airlines. so hopefully it starts moving back up

There is a lot of uncertainty in the market right now, its probably not the best time to just jump in.

If you are serious about investing... take up a finance major... you'll learn theres a lot more to it than just picking a stock.

If it's such a bad time to be getting into the market, why is Buffet buying all kinds of ----? Market has hit its low plateau, its going to go up

You and I are not Buffet, they are involved in derivatives that us normal humans don't understand. Hes got his team of researchers plus hes got the money. You and I have jack-----.

and who said the market has hit bottom. Only about 6 months after a recession do we have enough information from economic indicators that we where actually IN a recession.

My guess is we still have about another 10 months before things start clear up. If you subscribe to bloomers or wallstreet journal, them ----------ers are reporting new write-downs every ------- day... billions upon billions... credit crunch, subprime mortgages, and leveraged buyouts. its all fucked...

theres also a liquidity problem going on in our economy. Banks are so strapped they don't even want to loan to other banks because they don't know how much REAL ---- they're in yet.

So if you think you are Buffet... be my guest. Please report back with your gains..... :P
