Re: If you had $5000 cash to invest
In the stock Market, GM and Ford are about to hit Island-Bottom. So there really good to pick up right now, Depends how much you want to diversify, But depending on your age you should throw 4k into a Roth IRA if you don't have one set up already.

Investing in indiviual stocks is for gamb000loers. Index Funds are boring, unsophisticated, and absolutely great long term investments.

Re: If you had $5000 cash to invest
I agree with jayson. Roth IRA great tax free ira account. GM has hit bottom and his undervalued currently. I'm also looking at AZ to buy soon. Currently the biggest profit gainers in my portfolio are csco and intc.

Re: If you had $5000 cash to invest
#1 rule is don't listen to other peoples stock tips, ever. it never ceases to amaze me that human nature is such that someone will thoroughly research a $500 TV before they buy it, but will put a significant portion of their net worth into a stock just because someone told them to.
best way to invest that cash is to put it in a money market and in the meantime buy some books and learn as much as you possibly can before you even think about buying a stock.

Index fund. Let me repeat. Index fund. 80% of mutual funds fail to outperform the broad market.
Index fund. When you get some play money, you can dabble in stocks. Otherwise.... index fund. Did I mention index funds? natedogg

Re: If you had $5000 cash to invest
If I didn't need it for at least 5 years, an S&P fund. If there was a good chance I needed it before that, a money market fund or something similar with less return and less risk.

Oh, and I'd stay the hell away from GM. There's a reason they are tanking.

[/ QUOTE ] I think that "5" number should be more like "30". Vanguard has a short-term bond fund that you can write checks out ot. Better returns than savings, but still available at a moments notice.
