Here is one stock that i like. (LEXG) Lexicon Genetics at 5.94 a share, has discovered the gene that can lower blood pressure in mice, so its only going to be a while until they discover it in humans and the stock could quite possibly sky rocket.

Nortel Networks is up like i predicted. I am happy now. The symbol is (NT). Its at 4.58 from around 2.50 or whatever it was at when i reccommended it.

Sure I can help. Now the first thing that you should do is lots of research on companies and the sectors that contain them. Now if you have a quite limited budget then I know it is hard to be diversified into different areas of the market. Now if you a low risk investor then i reccommend you invest in money markets, bonds, or blue-chip stocks (big companies like Wal-Mart(WMT) or Microsoft (MSFT). This is a very safe bet for investing but if you have little money then it is probably best to do some higher risk investing. Because it can take decades for blue chip stocks to make money. Also invest in something you know, like years ago my grandma thought that L.A. gear would be a good company to invest in (they made the shoes that had lights at the bottom). I thought that they were really stupid and low and behold that they tanked just a few years later. Now for things that i would invest in right now would be telecommunications, now i know you said to yourself hey wasn't that like five years ago. Now I think that it will take off again with some sector leaders like Motorola Inc. (MOT) now at 14.05 or Nokia Corp. (NOK) at 18.01. So look around in this sector and I have another one called Lucent Technologies (LU) at 3.14 which is a manufacturing of networking processors. So that is what I have for you right now.

Indeed, the more you invest the more returnith to you, so says a proverb from China, or maybe me.

True and it will really boom with all the jobs ,moving to Mexico which will allow the company to make more money and thus the stock goes up. Try General Motors (GM).
