[QUOTE="vanguard, post: 48962, member: 172"] The #1 rule of investing: Never take investment advice from somebody that's still working for a living. ;D As for me, my main investment is still dollar cost averaging into an S&P 500 index fund. This is the other stuff I play around with: DELL: Don't ask me why I haven't sold this POS. FDX: It's done very well for me, about a 400% gain. PLCE: It's been beat up lately but I've still done better than 200% and I have faith in the management despite the disney store crap. SPY: S&P 500 spider HDB: Financial stock in India that's doubled for me. Mostly a diversity play. XLF: US Financial spider. I bought it at 24 when the sector was badly beat up. It's sank a bit more since then but I when the economy turns around I think it's poised for big gains. If you're interested in the market I'd just put together something diversified and ride with it. If you're not just dollar cost average into an S&P 500 fund (or something else broad and indexed.) One of the worst ideas is to hold individual stocks and not pay attention to them. That's followed by buying a mutual fund that did well last year and has been marketed as "aggressive" and not paying attention to it. Also, don't forget rule #1. ;D [/QUOTE]
