If you havent noticed, the stock market is near all time highs.... since were not making money on our houses, does anyone have any tips on stocks???

I just went over $500K in my retirement.. Keep going up

I've been doing pretty well with MLM. I've had it for about 6 weeks and its gone up about 10% or $7-8 per share. I am tracking that and a few other stocks for a stock trading class at school, so my opinion is purely unprofessional. Use it at your own risk.

Buy low and sell high. :crossx:

The safe tip is 60% in the S&P500 mutual funds. 10% in small caps, 15% overseas fund (I like T. Rowe "New Asia Fund" PRASX) 15% in a growth fund. "I'm at 11.7% year to date (in for the long haul)

[DILLIGAF]

Sure...Just like your real estate invest for the long haul :)

It can be risky or just use a good manager like some UBS. Like C Darcruiser I am up about 17%, but before the big drop eariler this year I was up 31%..just got too greedy.

use no load mutual funds, don't try and pick stocks unless you are very experienced at it. the advise ealier regarding asset allocation was good, although all equities.

Yes, when you are near an all time high, that is usually a good time to sell, not buy. Put options could be a consideration. Don't sell short unless you know what the hell you are doing. Atleast with puts, you just lose cost of the option if you are wrong. Shorts can come back for a LOT more, very risky.
There are some good buys, I am sure, but you better know what you are doing or have an advisor that knows what he is doing - with a track record. And, ask that advisor how he did in 2000, 2001, and 2002.

Weve all MADE money on our houses (i have 2 since 2000, and havent touched equity at all) but those times are gone for a while) as far as paying you for advice, hows this you can shove it up your arse with no gel.

ACAS -- 8.3% Divi. ALD -- Nice Divi. as well. That is if you are looking for long term buy and hold (IRA'S, etc). With the ACAS you can re-invest your divi's each quarter w/a 5% discount DRIP, which just increases your return. As always, do your own due diligence. Good luck.
