Just wanted to throw out some hot stocks that have made me some good money in the past year. Some of these are very expensive but I can say they will keep going north as long as nothing crazy happens to the company.

NFLX = Netflix (bought when it was $94 per share)
CMG = Chipotle (bought when it was $125 per share)
BIDU = Bidu, AKA Google of China (Bought at $70 per share)
JAMN = Jamaican Coffee (Bought recently at 1.20 per share)

The following Industries are very strong right now
Oil
Gold
Coffee

I will post a new update every 3 months on the market. So far I have made over $400K in all my investments in the market and I am not wanting to charge people money like other stock brokers or advisors. I think everyone should get free advise and making the move is up to them.

 

I do like stock tips thanks.

Also didn't Google pull out of China?

 

What's a good online setup for doing this? I've been thinking about it lately, have a few friends that are into it...

 

No, google is a communist didn't you know?

Btw would you recommend buying sony shares anytime? I heard there stock has plummeted.

 

I agree with oil and gas. I work in that industry. Any company in the Eagleford Shale should do well over the next several years.

 

I sunk most of one of my mutual funds into BIDU right after the split !!!!! Im loving it !!!

 

I invest in the gov't when they take taxes out. Horrible investment if you ask me.

 

Because BIDU has a large market share in China, Google is not going to compete in China. Since Google was a huge success here, imagine what BIDU will be like in the worlds largest economy. An economy that is getting stronger every day.

 

I use TD Ameritrade. E-trade is good also

I own BIDU any have since dam near the begining,but I have recently fell into some good info on a certian manufacture thats taking big stock into investing in the future of a new company that manufactures the new "GREEN" batteries of the future.Check into LEXG to see how fast it went from cent to dollars over night,but is still cheap enough to get in on for the long run


To help out the ones looking to get in on this stock stuff.I have a wholesale trading account with Bank of America/Merrill Lynch and have another Roth/Stock account with Fidelity.I must Fidelity has a cheap $7.00 comission and is easy as could be to use

 

Gold is doing well but I have been putting my money into silver. there is more quick money to be made (or lost) in gold but silver is moving around more percentage wise. check it out

gold closed at $1495/troy oz after gaining $7 today....about a 0.4% increase
silver closed at $35.64/troy oz after gaining $0.74 today....about a 2% increase

doing this kind of stuff is fun but it is easy to screw yourself up and loose money at the same time, you have to be careful. I do want to buy some more stocks though, I sold my Wal-mart stocks (dumb decision, i know) but I now have stock in a company i work for (WIRE under NASDAQ)
