    Do you guys invest money?

    I'm curious to see who else invests in things other than their BMW?

    Stocks
    Funds
    Real estate
    Businesses

    Any pro’s out there with some advice?

    I just took 5th in the state of WA in the stock market game that many high schools participate in.

    Wish you had asked for advice before the i pad came out. Apple went up 30%. Honestly apple is a pretty solid company to invest in.

      Aapl is almost at its all time high and in this market nothing is bullet proof. Apple was an awesome buy back in March 09 or Nov 08. Apple right now would not be a good investment. Its bloated from the IPad craze.

        Spend less than you make.
        Save up several months of spending money / debt payments.
        Invest broadly and diversely. Don't try to beat the market, just ride it. ETFs are great.
        If it makes sense and you have a down payment saved up, buy yourself a house: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/b...alculator.html

        Scottrade and ING Sharebuilder as well as Schwab have good programs to invest with.

          I opened this thread hoping for a real estate pitch followed by a terry cloth bathrobe joke.

            Nope just a guy who is planning to one day exit the rat race.

            I made some money off of Ford on the bounce back. But now I have some Cash and want to hear what R3Vr's are doing.

                  Apple is a good buy, it does not matter if it's bloated. I rode IP pretty hard for a year.

                          It was a joke.


                          I have a pretty well diversified Roth IRA that I manage personally. It's spread over about 50 different stocks and a few ETF's. Being that I have a penchant for risk, I keep a seperate stock account to dabble in whatever I please. I haven't invested in real estate yet because I live in an old rust belt town that literally does not appreciate and I'm only going to be here for another 3-4 years. Everyone can laugh at me because the newest car I've ever owned is a '94 Chevy pickup, but when I retire at 55 or sooner, I'll have the last laugh.
