Stocks

Looking into selling a small portion of my investments and using the proceeds to buy some riskier stocks. I'm already well-diversified and am just going to keep a small portion for speculation. What do you think of:
KMRT
GOOG
LU
These are the main three I'm looking at now (wish I'd bought KMRT a month ago, though lol). Any other suggestions to look into?
Chris

Dang, I thought the title to this thread was STACKS, not STOCKS.


Good time to invest in technology IMO. They have taken quite a hit, and I personally think they can only go up. Of course the main thing is how long term are you talking? Are you looking for a return on your investment in the next couple of years or 20-30 years?

I have some LU and it's been completely lackluster. As a speculation, I can't say, but I'm not even close to confident that I'm going to get back to even on that one. I don't have much in it, so I'm just waiting for a year when I need to take a loss to sell it. Google? Still very early on that one, I wouldn't buy any. Heard yesterday that their value went down significantly for some reason (can't remember exactly what the story said).

I've got some cash in my Roth IRA and I've been looking for someplace to put it, too. I've got some ideas on speculative stocks, but I want to do a little reading on them before I buy. My track record hasn't been the greatest so far....

Got your debt's paid off? Your current dividends would make more of a difference if your not giving a bank your money. Get rid of debt, put enuff into savings to cover a few monthe salary for an emergency fund, then invest away. If you already did this, good for you.

How about 85HONDACR500 or 94DODGERAMCTD, vehicles are my investment, at least I know in the future I will make money off of them, but if the stock market is your thing, I have heard of alot of people making money of it. For me though, I like something I can ride, drive and fix

Thanks for the help, guys. Yeah, debts are paid off, and have a couple savings accounts and money market accounts.
Unfortunately, my vehicles never turn out to be good investments - more like money pits! haha Buying more cars would be a lot more fun, though...
