Kevin Clarke, I heard your cry for help.Message 5519499 Can someone please help.....my education level is that of a moron and i can't figure out which of these stock to buy, i would like to put $20,000 on one of them but I'm to stupid to figure out which one.........Please help .......Sincerely.....MORON While not a self-professed expert in investing, I believe I can give you some pointers that might help in the future. I took the liberty of reviewing your recent posts, and I can easily see why you're asking for help. In your prior post that I quoted above, you neglected to mention which two stocks you were undecided about. I found this earlier post from you on another thread, and I hope your choice was not one of these equities:Message 5511717 This for those of you in this room that spend your time ridiculing people instead of finding stocks for all of us to make money on.................................................WATCH THESE TWO STOCKS GO UP ON THE 17th ......MXTR....CYTO.....JUST WATCH DON'T INVEST Now then, I was smart enough to take your advice and not invest in either one today. Glad I didn't because MXTR was -7/8 (-7.53%) and CYTO was -1/8 (-9.76%). Now as I see it, you need to build up some self confidence. Calling yourself a moron is not a good way to start. You've made some mistakes in the past. Instead of berating yourself, you should just start over with whatever is left of your $20,000. Until you learn how to invest properly, you should put your $20,000 into a well managed mutual fund. Next you should go to a college or university in your area and take some business courses and accounting courses. While you're educating yourself, your money should grow in the mutual fund. I'd also suggest that you look in your area for a good investment club. While chat forums on the internet are fun and interesting, they are not a substitute for one-on-one interaction with peers in an NAIC investment club. Hope this helps. KJC
