Whats should i buy a stock in?

I want to buy a stock, but i can't think of a good company to get one in. Suggestions?

Look at homebuilders' stocks. They are beat up really bad with the financial mess. For an instant win, although its a gamble, you could buy SIRI. They might merge with XM and if they do your money could as much as double within a month. Good luck!

With oil, gas and energy prices near historical highs, we continue to like some of the energy related names that are off their 52 week highs, these include:

ME (Mariner Energy)
VLO (Valero Energy)
ATPG (ATP Oil and Gas)
RIG (Transocean Sedco Forex Offshore)
RDC (Rowan Drilling)

How long is your investment timeframe?
I think GE is a good starter one - 1-800-STOCK-GE.

If you are going to buy stock take a hint from my tutor Warren Buffet. Invest in something you know, have knowledge in, experience, and have trust that it will be around in the future.

By investing in something you know and have knowledge of you have a better chance of picking a quality product.

Look at the workings of the company. Is it clean, well kept/maintained, do they own their own factories (reduces operating cost), is the factory equipped with old equipment or state of the art (reduces the need for immediate costly refitting).

Company management, are they a bunch of crooks (Enron) or do they look out for the welfare of the employees? Are they out of debt? (No debt encourages growth, new growth), greater gains.

Once you have picked your stock, watch it for a short time before you decide to get in. Don't jump in at a peek but wait for the low. Don't panic if it drops in price at any time. Pick a buy point your comfortable with and use those lows to accumulate more. Hold it for several years 5-10.

That's not a question for this forum. To advise you, one needs to know how old you are, what your income is, what your time-line is, how much money you have to invest and how willing you are to risk 100% of your investment. Better to go to a reputible investment company or bank - not one which pays their brokers on a per trade basis - and have them walk you through a risk assessment scenario. If you don't want to do that then choose a mutual fund which is rated 5 stars by morningstar.com. One does not just "think of a good company" - there is research to do and if you are not able to do that yourself then look to the experts ... don't take the advice of anyone here that posts for you cannot determine their qualifications.

Buy a spider (a good one is ticker symbol TMW.) It's essentially a mutual fund that tracks the S&P 500 index. It's a wonderful way to build a diverse portfolio of large, reputable companies for a low cost.

Don't try to pick stocks. Generally, stock picking strategies don't beat the average return on the broad market over the long term, net of transaction costs. People agruing otherwise will always cherry pick this or that mutual fund which happened to do really good over a given time period, but they conveniently ignore all of the ones that bombed over the same time period. There's no reliable way to figure out which stocks/funds will do well in the future. Diversify, and be happy.

In what company should you buy stocks?

As someone ELSE mentioned, GE is a GREAT starter stock company. These people will bend over and grab their ankles, more or less, to get you started as an investor with the company. Don't let NBC scare you about GE. My suspicion is that GE is going to dump NBC once it finds someone who'll take it off the company's hands. You WOULD have thought that they would have seen the mess created by the amalgamation of Microsoft and NBC (MSNBC) and steared clear of it, but my brain can't remember the sequence of events as to who bought whom first.

The company will let you invest as little as $10/week, and ANYONE can afford this.

Just be sure you set an attainable limit on the number of stocks you care to purchase actively. A convenient limit for MOST of us is one (1) block which is 100 shares. At $10 week, and assuming a level price point for this period of time, you will need about eight or nine years to get to this level, roughly. That horizon may not appeal to you. So, you could set your limits lower or your payments higher if that time horizon doesn't appeal to you.
