What are the smartest and best companies to buy stock from? Why?
let me tell you which stocks you shouldn't buy in the short term
AMZN, AAPL, GOOG
WHY? not because they are bad company, they are the best out there, but they are now too expensive please wait for a pull back (happening now)
you can't be just asking people on yahoo and expect you would make a killing in investing in stocks, you will lose money
you need to go to barnes and noble and start learning on basics of stock investing and how to read company foundamentals.
right now i wouldn't buy any stocks, people who want to buy stocks because everyone else is making money are likely to get hurt when the market pulls back.
the market has been overbought, wait for correction. then invest/or trade
stocks I recommend:
MSFT, AAPL, INTC, GOOG, LVS, BAC, JPM, GS, QQQQ, RIMM, XTO, COP, JNJ.. there are more out there i just can't remember all the tickers
I suggest you buy companies that you know and see everyday. If you love a mac computer and ipods get apple. If you like wearing aeropostale buy aeropostale.
If you like disney movies buy disney and the list goes on. It makes it more fun to invest in companies you know well without doing lots of research and reading the wall street journal. No analyst can ever tell you about the gap stock if you shop there faithly.
Investing for money is nice, But you have to fun with it as well
Google and Apple seem to be the smartest and best companies, but both stocks are too expensive by any measure. If you have a long-term horizon, I would suggest buying QQQQ that tracks all major technology company shares.
Put ALL your money in a single stock so if it goes way up, you will make a killing!
If you are asking the question on Yahoo! Answers, you probably shouldn't buy stocks at all!
sell short!
