What's a good cheap stock that is also likely to increase in value?
If you only had $100 to spend on a stock (or, several stocks if you were going to diversify) which would you go with, with the end results that you are going for obviously being a profit?

Okay, I guess I should explain. My stepfather wants to see if I can turn $100 around into anything profitable. I know that's not a lot in the stock market. I didn't pick the amount. It's his money, after all.

Go buy some Motorolla (MOT) stock. It's cheap, about $17.40, and probably gets to $22 a share soon. Be patient and let your stepdad know that patience is key in the market. Ask your stepdad if he will at least throw you a bone and pay the transaction fees ($7 to buy, $7 to sell) for you. That way, all your profits won't go into the transaction fee and you can truly see the power of the stock market.

With only $100, I would put it in a high yield savings account. Since a stock brokerage would charge you $7 - $10 commission, you'd have to make 7% - 10% on the stock just to break even. A high yield savings account will pay you about 5% with zero risk. (Check out hsbcdirect.com for one example.)

When you've saved up a few thousand to invest, I recommend index funds from Vanguard rather than picking individual stocks.

There is no such thing as obvious profit in the stock market. In addition, you can't diversify too much with only $100. I would suggest do your own research so that you are satisfied with your purchase.

How much time do you have?

We all know Apple is going to rise to $1,000.00 USD in a few decades.

We all know Microsoft is going to rise to $100.00 USD in a few years.

hahaha yeah, you can SPEND on very diversified stocks like ice cream, movie tickets, pop corn, hot dog, hamburger, fries, candies,....

but you may not INVEST on diversified stocks w/ $100. Commissions will chew up your investment!
