Yes, I have been looking into some stronger stocks to invest in for a long term investment for me to sell when I m about 20 or so. Thats 6 years. I was looking at ETEL at 14, but I think I gave up that opportunity. Also SEG does seem tempting now. This is a stock which has its ups and downs. It covers a wide range of price areas during a year. Now it is at a low, because of the cheap hard drives. It will most probably recooperate. I am thinking about dumping 600 or so into it. what do you think? Any higher price range stocks you think I should look at? I told my father to buy MSFT at 84 after the split, it really didn't take a rocket scientis to figure out it would go up alot more.

Hi Brookelise Happy New Year and thanks again for your help with a contact person at MetaStock. As of Christmas I am a proud owner of the SW. I love it!! Wanted to ask your help in another area. I have a friend who likes buying sm cap stocks, not my niche, but I wanted to help him out by providing a location on the internet to find float. Can you or anyone else please explain to me the different between outstanding shares vs float? I look at the link you provided from this post to yahoo, but did know where to from there to find the float. Could you please provide a internet address to get float? Have an outstanding day!!

Brooke Reply 9084 mention to buy small cap stocks with small floats, which makes sense, because the smaller the availability of shares the easier for price to move. My question, is there a percentage or rule to use between the float and outstanding shares to be applied for entering a stock, thus giving yourself a good chance for price movement? I might as well give my friend this information as well. May you find joy and happiness in your life! Tom The Windy City
