I invested $500 on Friday into some Bear Stearns stocks...Bought some stocks for about $5.00 each...

Today BEAR STEARNS closed at $11.25....

So I'm planning to sell tomorrow... made about $1200....
I'm just mad I didn;t invest more...

And out of the $1200 only $700 is coming my way.... The rest my folks are taking...

So what should I do now...

$700 to spend...How shall I reward myself

reinvest....thats kind of a no brainer...if you made that much money that fast

wish i could do stocks... my class had a thing set up we each got 1k fake dollars for market... 1 month for us to do it... at end i had 15k...

I'm kind of a quit while you;re ahead kind of guy...but maybe I'll invest half of it into some more Bear Stearns stocks..

Check the news, see if something good is about to happen to a company, invest in them. Their stock prices will go up and you will make more money.

1200-500=700 profit.

Where did the initial 500 come from? Your parents?

Agree

by what means did you go about investing? is it easy? does it cost much? im asking because id like to do this myself.

As many here want to know how to do it I do to.

And I agree with the quit while your ahead deal. But I would put like 200$ back in. And see how it goes from there. Then gradually increase it everytime.

If you don't know what you're doing and if you're not up 2 date every single day, it's like gambling.
That means kids shouldn't be playing with market and shares with mum and dad's money, because sooner or later (most likely to be sooner) you'll loose it.
You should buy yourself some candies instead, redneck

Once you get in the money game let me know, I'll be glad to take in the dividends and uh, look over them for ya.

ok for anyone asking how to do stocks... http://www.scottrade.com
there rly good n cheap...
all u gotta do is find a stock thts lower price and rising.. when it gets higher... sell for $$$
if you wanna practice go to finance.yahoo.com and make an account, and put in some fake money... do fake trades there.... (pm me for info on how to do if u must)

Oh great, a new generation of daytraders...

Advice from someone with contacts in the financial industry: DO YOUR RESEARCH first. Bull markets never last forever, we're headed for bear. Know how to assess your stocks.

I'd hate to see "I invested $500 and lost it all, I'm in huge trouble now".

Damn...

and when I read this thread I was seriously going to ot the following if it was really about the market:

Wait up, Mary! Let me just put my ribbons in my braids and grab my basket and we'll skip to the market together!

but, that's not going to happen becuase it's about money...

how boring...

gohhs.

Sold for $11.06 each

The $1200 is the profit I made from it...The $500 was mine initially...Since my father bought the stocks on his name and sh1t...he wanted some of the profit as well...so my parents told me I'm a bit late with my rent so they took 500 out of it.

$1200=profit parents take $500...I'm left with $700 plus the $500 that I invested in the beginning..

hm, Anyone Here that the stiock Market almost crashed the other week?

Step1: Invest Stock
Step2: ?
Step3: Profit!
