Where to invest money?

[Babbles]

I have a few stocks I am eyeing. With the prices going down, I am trying to determine how much I am willing to lose if things don't pan out. I think (apparently so does Warren Buffet) that there are boatloads of opportunities out there.

Lemme guess, you're over 50?

Get some actively managed funds that are well diversified and ... Profit!

Investing is a long term thing, so if you can actually leave the money there for 5-10 years, you'll be fine.

has this msg been officially been approved by a prince of Nigeria?

If not, be wary.

Only trust info from the royal family of Nigeria

AMD

I also want to invest in The Foundry as soon as it gets released to the market.

Considering that people keep pumping money into AMD to stay alive, it may be the best bet in the long run. It won't hit 40+ anytime soon though given that its finiancials are doing horrible right now.

If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago, you would have $49 left. With Fannie Mae , you would have $2.50 left of the original $1,000. With AIG, you would have less than $15 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drunk all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214 cash.

So your investment tip is buy beer?

Excellent

if we're talking about buying $1000 worth of beer or $1000 worth of stocks a year ago then there would be no possible way to know the value of the stocks this time last year.
