It will be difficult to diversify with $5K.
It would be better to find a decent mutual fund and put it into that. However, if you INSIST on investing it all in a single company, go with a large, stable company that you know is in good shape fundamentally, then wait for a down period in the market (right about now would be good), and go for it. |

ASTA FUNDING INC. (ASFI). they buy bad debt of the banks at pennies on the dollar. with allot of bad debt out there right now. they should do fine. with the market taking a dip today you might get it cheap too.
HAPPY INVESTING |

Investing in "individual" stocks takes a lot of knowledge and practice; so I would not suggest doing this until you understand completely how the stock markets work.
Vanguard.com is ideal for long term investors who want to learn about mutual funds, index funds, and exchange-traded-funds (ETFs). Trading funds is less risky than trying to trade "individual" stocks.
Unless you plan on spending everyday of your life looking at stock charts trying to determine the best time to get in and out of "individual" stocks, I would look into some sort of fund.
Also be very careful about asking for stock tips online. Most are probably worthless or contain unethical motives. Do not fall for any Pump-and-Dump scams. |

Pull out and invest in currency trading with a hedging strategy. Your gains will triple.

NOT in the stock market. Look into funds that invest in natural resources globally. They are on track to be up almost 50% this year. You won't get that out of the stock market. |

investing is all about how shrewd you are. If you can outsmart the market then penny stocks are for you. For instance a couple of days ago, I found a $4 stock that gained $3 in a few hours (ggbm) but it lost it again by the end of the day. Of course that rarely happens and I found it too late to cash in, but if I were shrewd, I would have been there.
If your not so shrewd (like most of us) there are some more sensible things to do. Lots of people are talking about a crash, so whatever you do, be ready to get out in a short time. You should decide whether you want to make a lot of trades or get something and just hang on.
For the long run you might like Apple or Google (both down a bit right now) but both with good potential.
For the short term, all I can say is do your own research. There is a neural network at http://shortterm.com that gives daily buys and sells for free (again don't just jump in but do some research before spending). |

ASD, EMC, I like Ebay after their quarter, EQ, OXY. Everything is on discount after the pull back earlier today so buy before everything bounces back. |

The key to investing is diversity. The only way you can achieve that with 5000 and not waste all your moneyon trades is an exchange traded fund. One that tries to mimick the movements of an entire exchange. Look into spiders. |

Please don't take stock tips from people you don't know on the internet. A lot of people will simply try to pump up stocks in their portfolio. You should learn about stock market investing, and do your own research.
If you absolutely must invest in the stock market before you know how to invest, then invest in basic index funds only (like the S&P 500). |

Put it in an S&P500 index fund. You'll be investing in the 500 largest companies in the market and for the long term, you can't do much better for the risk.
Do some research into investing before you start buying individual stocks. You can lose it quickly. |
