Thanks again. I put 10% into a 401k with mutual funds that perform well, pay 10% extra on my house, am getting a Roth IRA and have an ING Orange account. I'm looking forward to getting into stocks for the first time though.

Fuck, I shouldn't say this, but I used to work for a LARGE, I mean one of the top ten Financial Institutions in the US. For about an hour and a half I knew the change in stock price when they let lose their Quarterly Earning, etc.
The influence of quarterly earnings announcements on investor decisions is pretty big.
There were times where they went up like $3 bucks. I could have cleaned up, but they would have been suspicious.

i had some money in ING but took most of it out and put into stocks and transfered to citi e-saving(which is also 5% but better for faster transfer from account to trading). ING 5% is a safe way to go but i'd rather do 20% and take some risk especially since i am young and single.
if i have kids, my investment strategy is totally different. i still have 15% of my asset in cash for any emergency.
i am saving up now for a house/apt but that's going to require me shit load of money... maybe in 2yrs.

By the time you read about a company in a magazine, under a title like "Six Stocks to Buy Now," it's usually too late.
- joyride0
for sure... early this year some dudes bribed a printing company to send them stock magazine proofs. they just read em' and bought whatever was hyped... kinda smart, but they are now in jail

yeah, the Feds generally catch on to that type of dumbshit. hahaha ohhhh man good one

I might be somewhat of a masogynistic bastard, like Borat, but I'll let a women invest my money any day of the fucking week.
Born in Germany and educated in Switzerland. In 1969, she received a master's degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, the same school that Albert Einstein graduated from. Shortly afterward, she began her successful career as a financial analyst and money manager.
Unless you know a great deal about investing, stick to mutual funds. A fund manager will have the experience, relationships, and resources to help him or her make better choices about when to buy and sell stocks.

SAIC looks good. I'll have to reread this thread but in the meantime does anyone have any recommendations on some lower priced stocks? I won't have a large amount to start out with.
