I'll give you one for free: ICPT.

ICPT has been fun lately. Definitely wouldn't put in a long term portfolio but have been enjoying the swings with my "play" money.

I usually charge a lot for this, but here you go.
U can't really rank stocks in general because stock are broken down into sectors. Energy, technology etc... If I had to guess u don't have the knowledge or cash to buy individual stocks. Stick to index funds and ETFs my friend.
Ur portfolio should look something like this.
GLD
RDS-a
XOM
TWTR
SIRI
WFC
F
GE
PG
VOX

How can you say that? I'd think just about anybody could pick some quality stocks with a little research? XOM, GE, WFT, GIS, WDC, PFE, MCD, V, BRK-B, RF.. off the top of my head, is a pretty solid and diverse enough couple stocks, I'd think.. to go along with a couple mutual funds

How much cash does one need to buy individual stocks?

ETFs are cheaper than trying to buy individual stocks and trying to stay diversified
Posted on 3/24/14 at 5:32 am to Ellakennedi
And how is that different from a mutual fund? I honestly don't know
Posted on 3/24/14 at 5:44 am to Boudin
ETFs trade throughout the trading day, like a stocks, while mutual funds trade only at the end of the day at the net asset value (NAV) price. Most ETFs track to a particular index and therefore have lower operating expenses than actively invested mutual funds. Thus, ETFs improve your rate of return on investments. In addition, ETFs have no investment minimums or sales loads, unlike traditional mutual funds, which have both. However, most indexed mutual funds will not have sales loads.

And why this?

Because of that?
I mean, what's enough cash?
Because, if you're investing and not gambling, you want to have as much of the market as possible, when you're ready to retire.. making smart, value buys in solid companies that project to grow and increase profits.
What's wrong with purchasing individual stocks along with maxing out IRA, contributing to 401k up to company match, and buying a mutual fund biweekly.. or ETF? I don't know why say that, just curious.

There are 30 stocks in the Dow jones... U could buy 1 of each for 1,000's of dollars or u could get the same exposure by buying 1 share of DIA @ $118 ETF. It takes a lot of money to have a diversified portfolio... It works out for me because I have access to a lot of money. U guys however should stick to ETF, mutual and index funds.

Are you serious clark? Are you some kind of crazy troll? If not, why on earth would anyone take any kind of advice from you after you've posted that you can barely live off of $150k.

This is in reverse order from this guy's post history. I just dont understand why he would be posting about people not having enough money to invest, but he can't keep his life together with $150k/year.

He's obviously trolling.

And how do you know how much money I have access to?
You may be right, I'm relatively new to this stuff. I've had a Roth and a taxable account that I contribute to biweekly, for a few years now. What are some ETFs you'd recommend?

I thought the same thing after reading his post in this thread.
He admits to only having 6k in his etrade account in another thread. Then comes here saying most people here don't have enough money to pick individual stocks.
My favorite part was this quote:

I'm sure your financial advice is very sought after, especially after reading your post history.
He's either trolling (which I don't think), or has a very highly distorted sense of self worth.

I wouldn't give any advice on saving money... I am really good at making money though.

O wow.. I was on the road earlier, when going through this thread, didn't see all that.
