    Don’t just don’t invest in these stocks, They are high risk, iif any good, They are long term investments and only good for investment firms who can afford to lose money.

    I’d go to sharebuilder and start investing regulary in some of their portfolios. You can invest any amount on a regular basis. It takes ime and you cant afford to lose money. Do ti right.

    I wouldn’t invest until you can do your own due diligence and understand the market.

    It’s a definite risk, but if you’re smart (Warren Buffet says extra IQ points above the common average is a waste when it comes to being successful in the stock market) you can give yourself a calculated risk and give yourself a margin of safety. Don’t try to that quick get rich momentum investing.

    As Corey said to beat the overall market you need to be in it for the LONG TERM. People who make short term gains are also said to make a lot less then they originally thought when commission and capital gains fees are factored in.

    To be honest, this is a good time to purchase stocks, while they’re cheap… They will have a definite rebound and you gain a lot more in the climb from the bottom then to start at the peak. But make sure companies are fundamentally sound… don’t just overvalue external factors, like most people do.

    Small stocks like that are risk.If you are only buying them for a short term gain and then buy them back after they have pulled back that is what i do sometimes.I have a few that i watch so i know how they trade to a point.You have to know what you are doing and not use money you can not afford to lose.

    The stocks you want to focus on is consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and healthcare. These are DEFENSIVE stocks that will survive through good and bad times. Most of my positions are in these stocks. Some names include 3M, Procter & Gamble, Kimberly Clark, Exxon Mobil, Walmart, Costco. Everybody’s got to eat and wipe their butts regardless of the state of economy. Many of these companies survived through the Great Depression.
