If you had $10,000 to invest in the stock market.....

[uracowman]

assuming you had to pick only one stock, would anyone here considering purchasing ******** (FB) or Groupon (GRPN) as a buy and hold over the next 20 years?

srs

I wonder what sector will provide returns that will rival dotcom millionaires who invested in the 80s......

[OperationIvy]

neither. Social media sites can go downhill in a hurry.

I'd put it all in dividends stocks. PG&E suffered from the gas explosion in the Bay Area, but they aren't going anywhere.

[jolanar1]

Especially not Groupon. They have been failing miserably and getting worse every quarter.

******** won't be relevant in 5 years either.

[WKofPeace]

lol, ******** stock is a terrible idea company is going downhill fast

[Cyberia]

i would invest in aapl right now. The iphone 5 is coming out. stock will go up. but you do whatever the f**k you wanna do !

I'm looking for the next 100x return opportunity, not an undervalued S&P 500 component

[escortbrah]

******** - theres only so much a company can make when it's based on people sharing photos.

Groupon - Haven't looked into it yet but its not as well known as it should be.

My pick:

Bank of America - if buffet is willing to put $1 billion in it, so am i

Ford - Only company to not need a bailout and still expanding in foreign markets. Give it 2-4 years.

edit: just re-read OP and you want to know what will be the next dot com. If we knew that, we wouldn't be miscing bro.

If I had any money to invest, this would actually be a very smart idea. I highly doubt that the stocks will be under evaluated or that the iphone 5 stocks will crash.

[k1ckstand]

came in to post bank of america ^^^^

[mangravy]

invest in more than one company brah

[CockasaurusPecs]

VFIAX if I had 10k. Minimum amount is 10k for the fund, essentially zero expenses, and it almost perfectly mimics the S&P so it eliminates any unique risk.

[uracowman]

hypothetical situation

VFIAX if I had 10k. Minimum amount is 10k for the mutual fund (I dont give a **** you said stock, you probably dont know **** about finance), but essentially zero expenses tied to it and it almost perfectly mimics the S&P so it eliminates any unique risk.

you're right. I'm getting my MBA, so it is assumed that I know absolutely nothing about investing.

[redrex94]

I know next to nothing about shares but logically FB would be a bad idea to invest in, imo it's reached or reaching its peak as we speak, it's going to decline over the next 20 years not grow, if you could have invested in it 5 years ago then you'd be cheering.

[HighRolluh]

Platinum


Nearly as much as gold, gonna go up as all precious metals do


Plus no dat we are in the Illuminati Space age era dat Platinum is a valuable rare metal for catalyzing chemical reactions and for crazily complicated machinery and technology

[1800_Cool_Guy]

I have that kind of money. Where should I invest it.

[bill257]

Nokia.

Or I'd do some more research and invest in 3D printer suppliers.

[deadlift_405]

FB seems pretty volatile currently. I would suggest waiting until it goes under 20/share and if you are considering still, throw a small amount, keep a daily on it as well. The fluctuations can earn you some dough if you sell and re-buy before the major swings.

[escortbrah]

what was your undergrad gpa and how'd you do on the GMAT? and answer my ****en posts, I've replied in every single one of your stock related threads and you never quote me wtf bro

^Watch out ur CP bro

[Seldini]

Only stocks, no funds?

If it's over 10 years, then something timeless and always profitable, like Coke or UPS. I don't trust even Google or Apple over that kind of time span. Ten years ago Google barely existed and Apple was just initially releasing OS X and was far from their huge comeback. Tech is too volatile.

[uracowman]

To answer your question, I don't like mutual funds.

yes. I am looking for the next dotcom stock, not a large cap.

I have a few ideas in mind that range from ECOL to anything dryshipping related like PRGN or DRYS.

lol @ being ignored again

On a different note, I got in CMI at $85 a share, CAT in the $79's, and EEP in the $28's (7.3% annual dividend yield and great price appreciation).

I only have $10k right now to play with since I just graduated college (debt free), so I'm investing aggressively in solid companies that are underpriced and putting the rest in low expense ratio Vanguard index funds (VFORX and VGENX).

[arn710]

OP how much you charge me to be my fund manager?

Best value plays right now IMO are in basic materials, no matter how risky the equities may look. This is purely based upon book value, payout ratios etc...

VALE
CLF
PKX

and so on...

OP how much you charge me to be my fund manager?

$3.50 a year

[CockasaurusPecs]

If you're looking for the next tech boom kind of thing, look into stem cells. I've been trading the trend on ACTC and making money, but there are other companies with huge upsides.

[floppyflaps]

AMD. They're at $4 right now, and as bad as that is, they're not going to get much worse, and most likely there'd be a point in the next 1-2 years where they will be worth up to $8 a share.

lol. AMD hasn't done sh!t in like 10 years.

Where is your evidence to back up that price target....or did you just pull some random number out of the air?

No. I browsed the FB quarterly earnings report, and if I remember right, they were lower than projected. Most analysts see earnings declining. I highly doubt they pay a dividend any time in the next five years, and as another poster pointed out, I even doubt people will care about ******** in 5 years.

Another poster pointed out Ford. I have been following that and I think you could get a good value buy if you get it around 9 or less. Run a DCF at 9 assuming a similar dividend over 20 years and you should have a good idea.

market risk ftmfl


pretty much impossible to answer ops question nobody knows what new ideas(internet shopping) will pop up from tech advances
