TIPS for right now, or high-rated bonds, or XOM

Second helpful advice: Only buy stocks that are going to go up.

Put 500 in your account, lose every penny of it, learn from your mistakes.
Put another 500 or so, lose it all again, learn from your mistakes.
Repeat as much as necessary. This is the best way to learn.

Haha. I got started investing in the summer of '08. I learned a lot.

I probably would have hung it up and walked away if I'd started then. Either that or have turned into a perpetual bear.

As of right now xom is up 1.10% from yesterday 
Did you gain enough to cover the commission fees? I always figure it to be 14$.... 7$ in and 7$ whenever you get out.

Right now Im buying low financials and tech. Wait 10 years.

Due some due diligence on whatever stocks you invest in. Pick good companies, stay away from stocks with a high float (outstanding shares), and 'a lot' is relative to the total number of shares. And try to buy low and sell high.

it's a stock that's basically mutual fund. safe money, no more no less. you'll probably make 20% on it in 2 years.
