Invest in natural gas and "fracking sand" (utilized to excrete fossil fuels). Thank me later. http://www.wtov9.com/news/news/feds-say-natural-gas-production-soar-2035/nG7Sd/
Selling about 2-4 Grand worth of my kicks and investing in Nike or Apple stock, Good idea?

Dropped the ball with GLW (Corning) by not remembering their earnings date and missed out on a couple of bucks. Stock's at a really attractive level though, low 13s, definitely worth buying if you could wait long-term.

You can learn how the stock market works without investing several thousand of your own dollars.
Hit up a site like http://www.mocktrading.com/ to learn the nuances before you think to use actual capital.
It's your money, do what you want. If it was me, there are safer (albeit, long-term) methods to invest my money.

You aren't going to have very good returns with Nike or Apple with just 4k.

Frank it's funny how you mention Canadians, then Nat Gas and fracking right after.
It's huge up here right now. Might be worth looking into.

Been thinking about it, just need to do my research.
Gold just got a huge lift from the Fed announcements today. 2000 is the next target. Would rather play the GLD than physical gold, though.

Well yesterday would've been better, but well apple's stocks are aiming around 500-600 dollars, from the current 450 which isn't bad....
I don't know about gold, it's solid, and a lot of positions have been sold over the past few months, so its relatively cheap. Oil companies and Facebook are worth consideration as well.
And about buying 4-5 shares, anyhow the stock prices grew what, 7 percent, that means 120-150 dollars in a night, thats not bad, not many other ways to for that kind of earnings...

Say he bought those 5 shares when he made this post.
AAPL opened up at $416.83 that morning. It closed today at $446.66. That's a 7.2% return in just three months.
It's irrelevant how many shares of a company you own. My 255 shares of GE haven't done jack compared to my 30 shares of AAPL. Your mentality is that of a novice that doesn't have the first clue about how the market works.

Why Apple/Nike? Any reason in particular?

I could see Apple because they've been exceeding their expected earnings, but he really should've got in when they were hovering around $390-$400. I don't see why Nike, maybe because he buys a lot of Nike stuff?
If you're gonna just throw money into a stock and let it sit then you might want to look for stocks that give good dividends, like CNOOC or Pepsi, or a company that isn't going anywhere anytime soon, like Exxon Mobile, Johnson and Johnson, Kraft, etc. I wouldn't advise you to use more than $1-$2k if you're just starting out because the market is doing good right now, and you'll want some money to buy stocks the next time the market takes a big hit...

if ur gonna buy stocks buy cheaper ones. There more profit, 3 g's can get u 8 shares of apple which is nothing, while 3 g's can get u 3000 shares of another stock that if doubles can flip ur dough to 6 g's.
