I wouldn't go near Google stock. The company is run like Nazis. If your an AdSense publisher or AdWords advertiser pushing volume, you'll know what I mean. I'd buy some Microsoft or Yahoo shares. Microsoft is a safe bet, but Yahoo is a slight risk but if Microsoft do buy them out, your gonna get a nice return.
Round up the current price to $20, and the $31 Microsoft offered. I would say 1,000 Yahoo shares would bring a fairly fast nice return of around $10k. Just be careful with shares, won't be long before your left with $0 if your not clued up.
I will buy valueclick instead. I think yahoo will improve but valueclick has much more room for improvement so you'll earn more investing there.
Find out how you are going to buy the stocks first. I would say buy yahoo stocks if you still believe it would be brought out by MS
How about buying INDIAN ADRs like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank those are trading at a discount of 50% to its 52 week high...
Are you serious? Each person who posts knows less about the stock market than the person who posted before him. The only chance Yahoo has to boost its stock price is a takeover. Microsoft already tried this (at a very fair price) and Yang turned it down. The only chance you have to make money on this stock is if it eventually gets bought out. Trying to chase down takeover targets is a risky strategy... But whatever, obviously Sohan (who actually sounds like he knows something on this topic) thinks he's found an easy way to make $10,000, so you should all just listen to him and buy plenty of Yahoo shares...
i contacted my uncle who is a share broker in nse( , india) and he said dont buy any technology and it shares until us recession unless you are a corporate trying to increase stake in them
The key is to diversify, so there are many different places I'm putting my money. But the one sector that's got me the most excited for big gains is the financials. Like banks and different lending institutions. The financial market has been beaten to a pulp, and as a result all stocks are trading at a fraction of what they were at. Most are going to recover to their original price over the next few years and so you have a chance to make a great deal of money. The risk is that some of those financial companies are going under, or are going to go under. You have to be able to pick the ones that are going to survive. The market may also drop some more, so you have to be able to understand when the bottom will be, you will of course never pick the exact bottom, but you can get close if you pay attention and know how to read to market. I believe we're close or at the bottom now. If you look at the economy we still have a way to go before things start turning around I think, but the stock market always leads the economy by 6 months. So even though the economy might not be at the bottom, the market could be. Another big bonus to the financials is the dividends. Because the stock prices have dropped so much there are a number of stocks out there paying double digit dividends. And they are still able to pay those dividends because they are making money, the only reason those stocks have dropped is because they're guilty by association. One of the stocks I recently bought is paying a dividend of 30% last I checked, and they have no trouble paying that high an amount. That means that even if the stock goes sideways or drops, I'll still make back my investment in a little over 3 years.
It is good buying Yahoo shares only if they say yes to Microsoft. Then Yahoo shares could go up. But I do not believe that they let Microsoft to buy Yahoo. I hope it happens because Google is going too far in internet and online marketing.
