Like the title says, I have $260 sitting in an individual investment account. Looking to buy some stock just for fun. What should I buy?

Not enough for hookers and blow... so I’ll go with Lucky 13 on the roulette wheel.

The reason I have $260 is because when my company swapped from pension to 401k six years ago, they accidentally put $525 into a personal investment acct (that I didn't have). I didn't pay attention to the acct, and half the money was automatically invested into our company stock. That stock has split, etc, turning half that money into $1300. The other $260 has been sitting idle for six years.

So I figure, invest it

260 bucks? Head to the casino and have a good time. That’s not worth investing on its own.

As an avid watcher of shark tank, I would say take that 260 dollars and put it in a savings account. One day your going to wake up and need 260 dollars and it will be there except this time with interest.

You should buy 40-50 shares of AUPH.

This is as good an answer as any.

My answer would be different if we were talking $260 with every paycheck.

Yep. Everyone should at least get 1,000 shares at this price point and hold. A buyout is coming.

Holy thread necro, Batman.

And depending on your risk tolerance I might look into some mj stocks.
