I want a growth stock. Company size doesn't matter. Would prefer higher-tech sectors. Thanks

So, you want one stock in which to place a healthy sum of money? How about a fund or two?

I'd go with the maker of Viagra, Pfizer. Ticker symbol PFE. Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion, but limit it to stocks.

Don't put all your money into one stock. Spread the risk. That's what mutual funds accomplish.

Not a huge fan of diversification. It's what brokers tell old people to minimize losses in a bear market.

This is also a point of pride. I picked FB and SCTY earlier in the year, and I want to go 3 for 3 with the rest of the money I've got.

I've got ideas and have consulted a number of professionals, but want a good few opinions. Tidbits I learned from Nate Silver's book.

Put it on a promising penny stock, no better untapped growth potential. Brokers tell old people not to invest in penny stocks because they're risk averse.

If you don't diversify you can have huge losses in the best market ever. Just because the market is doing well doesn't mean one particular stock is gaining value.

Just because you picked two lucky stocks doesn't assure you a third success.

Tech seems to have under performed the market. If I had to pick one right now, I'd pick Microsoft. If I didn't have to pick one right now, I wouldn't. I've never seen the point in buying near the top of a market.

Go to L'Auberge and play the $10 slots. Your odds will be better and you'll get free drinks.
