Default Re: If you had 100,000 dollars to invest What would you do?

[ QUOTE ]
Making 50 trades in 6 months is not investing.

That is called speculative trading. Another synonym would be gambling.

note that it doesn't say when the trades have to be - it could just be diversification (50 buy orders on the 1st day).

Treat this like an option. Make a bunch of highly concentrated, high-beta trades. Realize that coming in second place has no value, so if you go broke, it is no loss to you (and indeed you will be in the same situation as most of your classmates). Bet the farm.

actually its not if your pyramiding

[/ QUOTE ]

How do you do pyramiding? I guess the basic concept is straightforward, but how do you determine buy points, and how much? When do you sell? I'm really interested in this style and possibly Darvis' style, but I don't know much about them yet.

Obviously, you want to find the riskiest investment possible in some penny stock and either double your money or lose most of it. Then you're 50% to make the most money in the class.
