recycle b asked:


I am sick and tired of seeing my stock portfolio sometimes decreasing a few thousand dollars in one day. I am always looking for new stock investments. Which large corporate stocks are still available that have always made a profit and still have profit growth, have a low PE ratio, pay a dividend that will not be cut, have little or no debt on their balance sheet, and will be safe in this bad economy that we are facing. Provide the ticker symbols of these stocks and the reasons why the stock of these companies should be purchased.

What is the best way to make money on the stocks & shares market?

STARYDYNAMO asked:


This may have been asked before but I have recently started on the stock market and am making about 4% a week on an investment of £1300. I have though made some initial mistakes and COULD have made about 8%. I basically see the stock market in two ways:

Either you chase hot stocks with a 3 day turnover? I reckon you could get 5-8% every 3 days.

Or find a company and invest for the long term (12 months) in which some companies (Jsainsbury) has increased 78% over this time and buy when they have either good or bad news.

Mr. Unknown asked:


What happens when a company like Six Flags(SIXFQ.OB) and you own stock of that company get out of bankruptcy, what does that mean for the stockholder?

I know that’s a great news, but does this affect the stocks? Like they will dump it and it becomes useless?

devindavis42 asked:


I understand how to get the standard deviation for a stock by going through the variance. What I’m curious about is how to convert the stocks standard deviation into the stocks beta value. Also what is considered a low volatile stock as far as standard deviation goes? I know with the beta anything higher than 1.0 is considered highly volatile. Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

AT&T is decades old but it’s history seems to be to do worse than the stock market.

I am interested in knowing one or more stocks that have traditionally beaten the market, especially if they are dividend stocks.

Ian K asked:


I am starting to build a core portfolio of large-cap/blue chip stocks as a foundation. By the time I’m done I want about 7-10 stocks across different market sectors. I want to buy these at the right times based on where the economy is in its cycle. Given the current market, where should I start to look for the first 2-3 stocks for my portfolio? I’ve been considering XOM and MSFT thus far.
