I'm looking at land on the future coast of America. Great investment.

i'd recomend mutal fund and be diversified. i opened a scottrade account a few years ago, and played around with penny stocks. it wasn't investing, it was more like gambling. did good for a short period of time and bet the farm on one stock and lost it all. invest in good companies through high dividend mutual funds and invest with a long term state of mind, try not to worry about the quick ups and downs. do just like i'm sure you do here, do your homework and read and learn as much as you can from all the sources you can find.

Hey Brandon. I've been following this list almost to the 'T' for the past 4 1/2 years and am up over 150%. Good stuff. Not too radical but not overly conservative for us young guys willing to take some more risk.

I like it because he explains each pick so after a while you start to understand his logic and can start spotting the picks before he even puts them out there.
