Have 1,000 and want to put it in mutual fund
Posted on 2/5/10 at 1:39 pm

I have $1000
Willing to take risk (as the money is not really needed)
Looking for ST, but will settle for LT returns
Preferrably a small cap
Anyone have any reccomendations?

Hancock Horizon Burkenroad fund is a solid small cap that invests only in small/midcap Gulf south companies (TX, LA, AL, MS, FL)

Exxon is pretty much an index fund now.

1K is too little to start investing. Especially at your age, since you're 110.

What area are you from?
To answer your question, don't bother with a mutual fund and just get an ETF index like Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund Investor Shares (NAESX).
They offer better liquidity and lower fees than actively managed funds.

If you have a $1,000 and are willing to take a risk on something - get a stock.
If you're looking for long term stocks I'd recommend:
TSO - Tesoro Refining is nearly at an all-time low right now of $12.00, they've been as high as $60.
ZN - Zion Oil, a company drilling for Oil in Israel - long shot of a company, but if they hit just one reserve BOOM, this $5 stock skyrockets.
If you're looking for short-term, fast-money stocks I'd recommend:
CDIV - this is a penny stock with only 6MM shares on the market; nearly all of the available "float" is secured and there are a group of investors holding on to it to make the stock rises. The Market Makers who were trying to sell short are losing their arse and this stock that was .05 cents a few weeks ago is now at .14 cents stock and it's about to get into the .20's - probably within a week or two. The short squeeze is coming. If the stockholders don't bail out like lemmings off a cliff at that point it could get to .50 cents.

If you just want a mutual fund. Vanguard has some descent ones. I'd recommend Wellesley Income Fund.
Good luck!

Why would you put 1,000 into a mutual fund, especially if you're willing to take on a large amount of risk. Even if you see some massive return for a mutual fund (i.e. 20% or so) this year, that's still only 200 bucks. You can sort through your house and find things to list on ebay and make 200 bucks quicker than that.
Put 1,000 into the lowest risk but highest potential reward micro-cap play you can find. I recommend Chinese growth stocks (listed on U.S. exchanges), preferably in stocks whose business plan has anything at all to do with the Chinese automobile industry.

I know the guy holding most of that float. If anything, I think the short squeeze has already happened as there are only estimated to be 300k shares held short (see link).

A good stock to hold onto if you're already in it. But I wouldn't recommend anyone sink a grand into it now. It's gone up over 3000% in 6 mos.
EDIT: I now realize this poster said this in February. Nice call.
