thank you dawggpie,good luck with the ipo. :smile:dawggpie said:I do work there, as was implied by the "we" in "we should be going public this week", I thought. I also tried not to give a sales pitch on the company by stating it might be a more risky investment given that it's a new company in a budding market. They are working to improve the reliability of the consumer robots.
There are many other companies in the gov't and industrial robotics fields. I never stated otherwise. For a company of it's size we have done well in attracting gov't business, but you are definitely betting on it's growth by investing in it.
As for hate sites.... you also won't have much trouble finding many iPod hate sites and we all know how crap that product has done =)
RPM217 said:Alright Mike, I can no longer hold my response in, as a "professional" too, I gave you some good advice on a "private response", which was to save your money if you only had $1,000 to invest, and to use it towards your "new wheels", however..... There has been some good advice on this thread, and that's to put it towards the beginning of an "investment program" by utilizing a mutual fund, closed end fund (at a discount), "I" share, or "ETF", but to look to make a single stock selection for this amount of $$$ and to hit a "homerun", you're better off with your "old habits", and go down the road to AC, and have some fun. Buying a home might end up being a "great investment" over the long term, but I advise all my clients not to look at their home as an investment, because you don't want to "risk" your home. It's not an asset that we use as "discretionary" capital. Please, you do yourself a disservice by looking to make a one time shot. Responsible investing, and smart decisions are part of planning. In the old days, I used to manage 400 Financial Planners, and I took from them some good advice...."Most people don't plan to fail, they fail to plan". Mike make a plan, and execute it. JMHO :smile:
PAUL M said:Check out INSM Its called insmed. Trading at 1.18 They just had a growth hormone drug approved. The play is that there is a similar drug from another co. TRCA. INSM is waiting to find out if they have approval from the fda to market and sell the drug. Dec 12th is the date of the announcement. Its a cheap enough stock where you could prob make a little money on it. 1000.00 isnt to much money to make grow on real stocks
I own 15k shares so my money is where my mouth is.
happy investing

splitz said:Here's a stock tip....dont take stock tips!
Now that that is out of the way, I've had good success with RAVN -> a little volatile, but hang in there
Another one to look into is FLEX (flextronics) It is an affordable stock that has taken a beating for a myriad of reasons, but the good news is they are a parts supplier for the XBOX 360. Also look at any of the parts suppliers for the consoles that are coming out.

The Kid said:Great stock tip.... Steak dinner on the folks from Bridgewater Acura. We all bought it on your advice. Any other tips?:biggrin:
supra2nv said:Not giving you advice, but just chiming in my opinion.
Does not change your lifestyle...or does it? :wink:
If I only had $1000.
The Kid said:No need to go there $1000 is nothing to me. Its not like im a millionare, but I make way over 6 figures and have more than $1000 disposable to play with. My dad lost over a quarter million in the stock market and I just wanted to play around with some stocks. Im hoping you were just kidding around.
