OK - your question tells me you don't understand the fundamentals of the market. The low cost per share is meaningless when investing.
So - what should you do with your money? I suggest you buy $1200 of the Vanguard Star fund. Go to their website and set up a ROTH IRA and make that your first purchase.
The Star fund is a 'fund of funds' and has a good record of returning growth of at least 10% a year. (Though history is also not a good predictor of the future).
When considering long term investments, you should expect to earn 8 to 10% on average. That means in some years you'll make a lot more (the Star fund is up 15% this year) but in other years, you'll actually lose money. You need to learn your risk tolerance - that's how you react if you see your portfolio go down in value by 10%. In that case, would you sell all your shares and run, or what you look at this as an opportunity to put MORE money in to the market? The correct response is to buy more. Unfortunately, many new investors panic when things go down. You do need an exit strategy, and you must know your tolerance. |

You should probably not invest in a single stock, and for $1,200 you cannot easily buy a diversified portfolio. You might want to consider investing in a no-load mutual fund until you accumulate a larger fund. Add to the fund as often as you can, watch it grow, and when you are ready to make your own investment decisions, sell the fund shares and open an account. Meanwhile, you can study investing so that you don't have to ask other people which stock to buy. You can get a thousand answers and none of them is necessarily right. |

Very few " no-load" funds are going to let you buy -in at less than $ 2500. If you can do some reading over the weekend, go to sites like finance/yahoo or moneycentral/msn.... look at what they have to say about " beginning investing"....and then look at ETF's...you could buy a few shares of a couple of different ones... go with a " sector" and a " country" and you're sort of diversified ....let it ride for a few months... and you'll learn to move stuff if you have to !
Log into E-trade ...fill out an application...send some money...in a few days you'll have an account that you can start building a portfolio in.
Info is the answer...read, read, read.It's all out there for you to take advantage of... if you want.
If you do go with an individual stock...look to the " shipping" sector...I think NM is around 14...and a nice chart. |

Invest in strong company stock. this type of stock will keep on growing in no matter what economic condition. so buy small if you have less.
