You should buy ninthward stock, maybe some armada, and throw in some Mac Miller trust funds

in that case, i would head to a financial adviser, put it in some roth's, various mutual funds, etc. the best thing you can do with that kind of flow is to spread it out and forget about it for a while. you can start a pretty good pension with that.

Buy stocks in things that are trending. Eg. Longboard companies those things are becoming very, very popular. Also I bought some stocks in Activision right before modern warfare 3 came out... I made money there.

Go to a financial adviser. Please dont come to NS about stock market questions. First the pros dont even know how to predict the market, so why would a bunch of 12 year olds that get dropped off at the mountain by their mom in the suv. And I'm sure no one is that knowledgeable here in equities besides a very few select individuals IE: Technopotomus. If you have a question find a guy in the industry or who has been. If not please go to a financial adviser. You will be able to buy more equities, bonds, mutual funds for cheaper since they will bundle you up with a bunch of buyers who have the same interest, rather than buying the whole security yourself.

Depends on how much you have to work with. Assuming you have very little, invest in funds. Funds are great especially if you dont have an FA or are an FA, they have less growth than the potential a stock COULD have, but are fixed, so their is no real worry about making you money back. Other than that, leave day trading to the big boys dude.
good luck
+k for an awesome request on ns haha!

I don't think there are enough investors out there for NS to have a stock to be worth while. There are ways you could invest in NS buy giving Mr.Bishop a simple loan and he can pay you back with interest with out the complications of securities. But I doubt NS has a stock. It costs money for your company to have a stock out there on an exchange and its quite expensive. I think how Mr.Bishop funds NS is with the donations.

But yet again I do not know, so I could be wrong. Just speculating.

So I wouldn't mind finding out.

you're full of shit you don't have 100k, if you have 10% of that at the least you have some idea of what your doing. 

First off bad time to jump into the market IMO.  Im in finance and get hated onall the time but i have a feeling, forget not trading on emotions.  wait for the sell off that's about to come and hop in for some short term gains then.  This bull cant last much longer.  I don't care what people say...DOW TO 17K apple to a thousand.  Secondly i wouldn't touch apple-screw that bitch ass dividend they give, for a company with that much cash on hand they could have done a bit better at least for a company with such huge market share. 

wait till the sell off long companys like lokgheed martin, and bowing- I haven't looked into their financials at all but they make money off war plain and simple...I have a very pessimistic attitude-  Shits about to hit the fan in the US...its been 10 years and we haven't gotten involved in a new war-seems fishy that's what we do war, weather it be 'terrorist' attack...or some other catalyst to get us involved in war its coming.

Id short lions gate films next week i think there might be a sell off stemming from  what the hunger games has done for it. just my opinion.

shipping companies that deal in LNG could potnetionally do well for the next 8 months as well.

if you have 100g's you could set up a hell of  amargin account...look at all the social media stocks that have some out in the last 6 months analysis them from trend, when sell off take place and short the hell out of facebook at what you feel like is an appropriate time.  

Investing is a lot of work, you need to take hours researching each holding you have, from management what their past experience is, financials, market feedback, new...you get the point hope you dont blow that.

If you wana be a puss throw that in an insured mutual bond ha. maybe get 4.75%. pull in almost 5g's a year from nothing with basically no exposure and triple tax exempt...not bad...if youre 75 years old or just dont like risk

if you're playing the stock market game at school, find a company that is under a dollar that's going up by even a penny a day on average, then blow all of your money on it and watch your classmates get angryface when you say that bought over 100,000 stocks in one company and made money. of course once you do make money, back out right away and invest in a safe company that doesn't change at all, I did playboy.

not sure if serious

so coming from a finance master student:

1) do not only buy stocks. you could buy bonds, commodities, even real gold or a flat that you give other for rent.

2) do not only buy 1 or 2 single assets. spread it out to AT LEAST 10-15 assets.

3) forget what anyone tells you. anyone who really knows wouldnt tell. he could make millions on a single day at the exchange, so why would he tell you for free and share his profit? why would he tell you for anything less then multiple millions of dollars?

4) see point 3 and remember it. noone knows what happens next and if he claims to know he is either lying or dumb.



booom, youre a pretty good investor now. contrary to popular belief there are almost no "experts" that beat the market on a consistent basis. i read a paper where it was shown (dont remember which one) that literally no fund (managed by "professionals") was able to beat the S&P500 or a similar index constantly over 10 years or so.

obviously, there are some that outsmarted the market all the time, but if you look at the plain number of funds, its a simple matter of probability that a few funds will come out on top.

look at it this way: if there was a simple stock market game and 20,000 people playing it, obviously one will come out on top and beat the market. most people would say he is a financial expert. but what if a random decisions generator would participate 20,000 times? is the winning sequence of random decisions also a financial expert?

biases all the way. winners publish books and tell the world how smart they are and how they did it and how dumb the others are when they were just lucky.
