like I said, I'm new to this but I think you're wrong. I bolded the right stock. I think this is a good time to look for the right undervalued stock. For her to tell people not even to consider the market is odd to me. From what I've learned, this is the prime time to hunt. What I just said is in regards to your "only if you go long" comment. If I had played real money this year instead of investopedia I'd be happy as hell. This one year performance would have been better than buffet's %. not that this means jack first year without real money. Also they just put an end to shorting, unless i misunderstand. Anyway, if you can hit the right stock at this time, you're in the big money in a few years, not having to short or think long
Understand though, Suze's advise is to the Oprah viewr. They aren't in the same investment league as Oprah.
Infact, the average American is by law, shut out of the really great investments. It's almost like being invited to
the party of the year, ...only to discover you're the valet parking attendant, and don't actually get to go inside. You can hear the music from out in the driveway, ...and if you hustle, ...you might pick up some good tips, ...but it's not the same as being inside mingling with the other guests, sipping champagne, or nibbling hors d'oeurves
I understand your jubilation over your choices, ...but trust me when I tell you, when you're working with real money, ...it's a whole other ballgame. I paper traded commodities for years, ...made a heckuva lot of money doing it (on paper). It's easy to make bold moves when you're just paper trading. When it comes to the real thing, ...you gotta have ovaries of steel to make the same moves.
I've always preferred commodities to stocks. I've always thought of stocks as nothing more than vapour ware, and quite frankly, ...they scare the poop out of me. Or maybe I've just read too much Kiyosaki, ...but commodities, ...to me, ...those are real, ...they're solid, ...they're tangible, ...and will always generate a demand.
