First, I would scale back the amount you're investing. 70% is way too much of your income to be risking in the market. Next, do you have an brokerage account setup? Either with a big broker or an online discount broker such as Scottrade or TD Ameritrade? Before you invest, you need a place to do it. Next, I would recommend educating yourself about what to look for in stocks - Stock Investing for Dummies by Wiley is a great book, as well as investopedia.com to learn the basics.
Online investing sites that let you play with fake money are another great way to try out investment strategies. Theupdown.com is one place to do that.
Without knowing the exact amount you have to play around with, it's difficult to suggest anything. What I can say is DIGA, SIX, and IDT are all penny stocks (below $1) with negative earnings, so don't invest in those.
If you have at least $2000 to invest, a company like IRIS is a good biotech with relatively good performance. Chesapeake Oil (CHK) is another interesting play, somewhat volatile, but might get bought by BP and it's natural gas production makes it attractive. I would look for stocks that are relatively solid, stay in a range, and pay some kind of dividend.
Message me if you want to learn more about investing or give a better view of your own resources. |

Cambell's soup.
I think it's the only stock that's never gone down too much.
I think it was the only one that went up, actually.
(I'm referring to recently btw; I know that other companies have gone up/stayed up at other times :P) |

None of them. You could lose money on them |

A nice and miserly thing to do. By the way, there is a relation between the word 'miser' and 'misery.'
As another has already written, you might want to tone it down as to how much you sock away. Consider an Individual Retirement Account for an indication of a reasonable goal for annual savings. If you set a goal to limit your investment savings to, say, two or three thousand a year, then you can still 'have a life' and enjoy your younger years, AND invest for the future.
If you set a goal for living within your means (which includes some allowance of 500 to 2,000 a year for investments) then you will do okay, but remember there will be emergencies, you may get disgruntled and quit (or get fired) and have a hard time finding another job for a while, things happen. So allow for life's ups and downs while still leaving enough for vacations and fun things now and then.
Here is also an idea for you, it is called a Dividend Re-Investment Plan (DRIP). If you like Coke, for instance, you can buy some stock in that company and when it pays a dividend the DRIP administrator plows those dividends back into buying more Coke (or whoever, there are something like a thousand publicly traded companies that have DRIPs). When your dividend-bought stock also pays dividends then that too buys more stock. It is the stock equivalent of compound interest. Search out companies that you like what they do (even if it is only that they consistently make profits and pay dividends, but it is kind of nice if you are happy with what they do) and have DRIPs, then narrow it down to two or three, perhaps even four or five over subsequent years (no two in the same industry, though). Then plan to sock your investment savings into them and forget them. They will build and grow (assuming that what they do still is appropriate, I had an opportunity to do this with Kodak and I'm sure glad I didn't because they are obsolete has-beens today). Of course if things go seriously against them, say WalMart and we put a freeze on Chinese goods and they have nothing then to sell, then sell out the holdings and put them into something else. |

Here's a few to consider: MO, RTN, OIS, PFE. You are young. As long as you live we will have wars, people will smoke, get sick and need drugs, and will need energy. |

None. If you are just going to pick some random companies and try to invest in them, you might as well go to the casino and gamble instead.
Invest in good quality mutual funds or ETFs, not individual stocks. Unless you have some inside info on the companies, you are placing too much risk in single companies.
Let the professional fund managers pick which companies to investing, or spread your risk over a sector by buying ETFs.
Also, without knowing how much you have to invest, how often you plan to invest, what your investment goals are, and what your risk tolerance is, it would be pretty much impossible for you to get any meaningful advice on here. |

Campbell Soup?? are you serious......stealing from Stephen Colbert's portfolio are we??
A year ago Campbell Soup traded at aprox $35 now its trading for $28. If the stock went back up to $35 (which it wont anytime soon) he'll make a whoooping $7. Your talking about a high school kid probably making just over minumum wage / part time at that. How many shares do you think he'd have to buy at $28 to make it even worth it?? thats only if it goes up.
If your looking for low cost long term stocks go with Ford,
circut city is a long long shot but at .20 cents a share you can buy lots of stock for a couple of hundred dollars if they make it great, if they fail oh well nothing really lost.
check out ebay that was a $40 stock now trading at $12. Ebay not going out of buisness anytime soon. check out yahoo same thing $12 - $13 range
Fannie Mae or freddie mac these were $60 a year ago, If they pull through you could make a hefty profit. They may never see $60 again but heck they should be good for $20 and right now they are selling at .70cents. Warning... If they do the reverse stock split sell sell sell!!
AIG they have issues but if they make it through spring you'll be in luck.
there are some awsome alt energy stocks I been watching. HOKO, JASO, SOLF, EVSO
The stocks I have mentioned are lower priced stocks in your price range that have potential |
