Ok I have very low amount of money, cause of this economy. I have not taken ou any money from my personal investments,even though I lost my job; I have lost in investments when I day traded and remade when I held. I need your help to earn money in stocks that are percentage gainers. NOT only will be they be there in 2-5+ years but those that are here and have volume, price under 5dollars and will gain 25% to sky the limit. Which one's would you want in your portfolia? I have some such as =agen, ufs, abk, citic, c, rad, aib, dyn, aig, symx, heb... (abk and symx might not be my good picks but for some months ; i believe are).

What would you invest in if you had to borrow at 0% interest and payback in a year?

I wouldn't be investing if I needed the money. Especially not in garbage penny stocks. ABK, C, AIB, AIG and HEB are all worthless in all probabilty (ABK and HEB are both scams.) AGEN is way overpriced. I don't know the others, but if you must invest, just buy an index fund. Gambling on penny stocks is a good way to turn a small amount of money into no money at all.

I am with GMX.  I dont think it is wise to borrow money to invest in the stock market.  I checked all those stocks on my model and they all came up pretty bad.  If this was extra money I would say go for it, but under these conditions it seems pretty crazy.  Since this is money you may need in the near future, I would take it out of the market entirely or go with an index fund.  Your may need this money to invest in some macaroni and cheese.

ty, but day traders gamble more than me and for now, I am up. If I change my style of ivesting after attending "Burn your money fast," school; should I not at least take notice of those that are short term gains of 25+ percentage gains in my portfolio. I believe the economy brought all these stocks to affordable levels for us all and is the best oppurtunity anyone will get in the next 30+ years.

You're about to learn a very expensive set of lessons then if that is what you believe.

I agree with most of what GMX says, but would not choose an index fund at this time.  I think the dollar is going to continue to weaken, making foreign investments more favorable down the road. 

Therefore, in your situation, and assuming that I was certain (not just confident) that I would not need the money within the next few years, I'd be looking for an international mutual fund with a Morningstar rating of at least 4 stars.  I expect the greatest gains in China, but risks abound with China stocks, so would look for a fund with exposure to China, but the bulk of its investment in developed nations.  At present, I think small to mid-cap stocks are going to get the best returns, so would look for a fund that focuses on those.  A fund like T.Rowe Price's International Discovery may be worth looking at.  I bought into it 10 weeks ago and I've gained 32%. 

But, no guarantees, and if I was without income as you indicate you are, I would not have the nerve for anything this risky, but rather would put the money in an insured savings account making 1.5% interest.

I generally agree with you that there currently is a good buying opportunity, but I also expect the market to offer better buying opportunities over the next year than what we have today.  I would suggest you take your time doing research and watching the market, and getting yourself re-employed.  Once you have a secure income flow, then reevaluate conditions. I think you still will find bargains.

Yeah...but I have to ask ..."Have you looked at the 52wk lowes for the stocks you chose? It is not believeable, only reason some "Not all of them," will fail is cause they do need to revamp ie., GM, LEA, SAY; sorry but what I saw so many times is stocks(comapnies that are decent, just human reaction of us; being scared kept us away or out of profits.) I am not agreeing or disagreeing but just the facts.

In your 1 year timeframe, I doubt those stocks would reach those 52wk highs.  This would be very different if you didn't borrow the money, but since it's borrowed, I'd recommend TIPS.  At this time I can only recommend a fixed income investment where your return should beat the cost of borrowing.  It also provides a slight hedge against inflation.  Guarding your principal is more important than achieving market-busting gains.

I think the best investment would be an all-out job search instead of researching investments.  If not a search, then something that adds skills so that it'll help get you interviews in the future.  Your most important asset is yourself, not a portfolio of stocks/bonds/commodities/real estate.  As bcnu6 said, securing cash flow is quite important.
