If you want to speculate and pick an individual stock you might as well open the WSJ, close your eyes, and then twirl your finger around and whatever it hits closest to is the stock. That is about how much luck you will have picking individual securities. Now if you want to invest put that money into VTSMX and hold long term and if you need it for an emergency it is highly liquid. Also on a side note DO NOT buy let's say 500 shares of MGM and think hey this is mine ad my GF's. Nothing good will ever come of that. You buy 250 and have her buy 250 individually. Also don't be surprised if your initial investment losses 30% or more and your GF hates you forever for it.

I wish they had a "U mad? Cause we styling on you" picture w/ hedge fund managers I could post. Sorry you're incapable of adding value w/ your equity/FI research.
