I was just thinking to myself how the stock market is low atm and I was thinking I could invest some monies into a company.. Any one here have any stock experience? If so what should I know as a noob and what are your suggestions on what I should invest in?

it really depends on how much risk you are willing to take and whether you are going for long or short term gains...

march was the bottom :P

I dont know chit about that ,but I do know Gold/Silver are good investments.

One up on wall street. Peter Lynch. Read it

Excellent book. If you really want to learn something about the subject, that book is a great place to start.

I'm not sure what market the OP is considering low right now...I would consider most of the major american indexes slightly overpriced at this particular moment.

I think buddreams has it right, march may have been the bottom. I suspect the dow has likely peaked in the short term. In my opinion, the easy money has already been made this year.

That's not to say there aren't bargains to be had for someone willing to do their homework. Just my amateur opinion...And I would avoid gold/silver.

i am holding the following:
BP
VZ
Wm
KMP
MO

these all have great yields and some are recession proof (MO, WM, BP)

But it all depends howmuch $$ you have and how much you are willing to part ways with.

Are you looking to gain in the long term or short term? short term i dont know alot about. I know that hanson's natural soda posted one of the highest growths over the last 6 months. i would also invest in gold as well. anything in the "green" industry is a great short term investment, that industry is obviously booming.

i feel that long term investment is more important. if your dont already have a 401 k then something to look into is a Roth IRA. i would invest heavily in small cap stocks and international stocks. this depends on your age though. are you young? if so, then i would do this. if older then go with large cap stocks.

as far as the gold/silver i understand your point as far as short term. it is a very volitile (spelling) commodity, but i feel in the long run it should pay off, please for my education, let me know why your opinion is sided towards avoiding.

The stock market is not low atm. It is overvalued.

40% according to some economists.

The Dow has hovered around 10,000 in the last 30 days.

Expect a correction soon.
