If I wanted to invest just a $1,000 on one stock

[Dr. Jack]

What would you suggest?

[Rookie Pix]

Considering your gambling history and love for it like myself may I suggest a new casino stock....MYRA.OB

Dr.Jack, Tunica is 25 minutes from my house in Southaven and a friend of a friend told me a couple weeks ago that the lease on the land has been signed on this one.It could go belly up but I bought a few thousand shares for sh!ts and giggles. Most casinos make money as we well know. ;)

[Dr. Jack]

How is the Tunica area? Was it hit in the hurricane?

you should find something that is trading a little below what it should be according to its value and put it there, make sure you don't get in to something with a really high P/E, cuz you won't make anything off of it most likely. although i recommend against putting it all in one stock...diversify

The area that was hit by Katrina was about 6 or 7 hours south of us.Tunica is in good shape.The casinos here are on the Mississippi River on barges.

I would invest it in an exchanged-traded-fund based on your risk tolerance.

No plan RJB - Just considering throwing something small to try out and to generate some talk

I don't know much about this stuff and not sure what this means

[NY Mane]

ETFs are portfolios of stocks, bonds or in some cases other investments that trade on a stock exchange much the same as a regular stock does. An ETF is a basket of stocks that reflects the composition of an index, like the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq 100.

Dr Jack, for example...if you wanted to invest money in a gold stock but were afraid that you could lose your whole investment if that particular company did poorly, you could invest in a gold ETF.

The gold ETF could include 100's of gold companies in that 1 share of ETF. You spread the risk.

[Dr. Jack]

Ok I think I get it. Thanks MAne

[Jimmy K]

i would invest in chkp or nice right now, both are undervalued and have room for a run up

[ryhenry09]

couple of my favs right now....

NENG (this should see 2.75 by summer) .......2.12/share

IMOS (very undervalued)

COH (solid company)

C (safer stock/good dividend)

**Those are just a few, good luck Jack.
