Serious Question about Investments

[TxArmyGuy]

Very seriously how would ya'll invest $475,000

No holds bar. I've got some serious thoughts about how I'm going to invest a very large amount of $$ and will need to start making some arrangements within the next 2-4months

Give me some ideas for Stocks, Mutal funds, Bonds, Real Estate etc....

Talk to several stock brokers and tell them what you are looking for as far as returns and such. A good broker will set down with you and ask about the risks you are willing to take and so forth.

Since you are in the army I would look to go with one of the larger firms that have offices in other cities. You might get more personal service with a small firm, but when you move you might have a hard time getting in contact with them.

MEMEMMEMEEMM!!!!

Hi there...I am gotmilk and I would like to make you wealthy!

How about catching a 800 Million share short position this or next month? My Congressman's office is busting the SEC's balls to break it. Our lawyer is John O' Quinn from Houston. John won the Texas Tobacco lawsuit and the Dow Corning breast implant suit.

Shoot me an e-mail sometime and I'll hook you up.

Companies like Avici Systems in Massachusetts have nearly $3 a share in cash alone..yet look at their price. Or check out SunnComm....www.sunncomm.com

These guys are working with Microsoft on Microsoft's next operating platform..codenamed "Corona". Huge upside once they can get off the pinksheets in the next 90 days.

I'm going to do as much research as my limited time allows before I go to a Broker and set anything up.

I forgot to add...in terms of real estate...which is booming right now. There are limited liability companies looking for private investors to put up money. These are companies who need funds to procure funds...basically, you put up money for 90 to 120 days and you can gain 15% to 25%. This works out to 60% to 75% annually.


Basically, you become your own banker and loan your money. These transactions are secured by insurance so there is no loss. This is how Donald Trumps friends became so wealthy.

 

[TxArmyGuy]

Sounds interesting....Any Examples of those Lmtd liability companies???

 

[gotmilk]

yeah...let me find the name of one. One of the best was in Texas but they closed their fund recently. These guys have a huge property portfolio.

I'll send you some stuff tomorrow when I have a chance to type it out. I actually manage accounts for people only I do not do all the work. I help people set up accounts...teach them how to use the online brokers...and then tell people what/when/where.

If you get a chance....check out the June 10th Forbes magazine and the article about John O' Quinn, Esq. We are about to break some massive short positions this Summer thanks to John's investigations.

Bro, stay miles away from guys like GotMilk and listen to the advice you are getting from Big4Life.

I've lost an insane amount of money in the stock market - wiped out to ground zero - twice. (It truly sucks to rebuild only to blow it again.)

There are too many lessons you need to learn in the investment biz. While you learn them you need to place your assests in safe, secure investments. A couple reputable brokers can advise you on how to do that.

1. Do not take HOT tips from friends and people you meet over the internet. Hot tips are almost always losers... despite the sales pitch.
2. Do not invest in risk ventures. (Especially pre-IPO start ups.)
3. Have your broker diversify your assets.
4. Don't trade on margin - EVER.
5. Don't trade options - EVER.
