$5000 to invest

bluffj00 · #1 08-30-2007, 05:58 AM

Ok I have $5,000 to invest and I have no idea what the stock, cds, and stuff to invest in. Can someone give me some good idea? I'm 18 and want to learn what to do.

invest in your financial education or end up blowing your money

NTDOY or GME. I'd suggest half in each.

Just buy some BERK-B and don't look back. Everytime I look at my portfolio, EVERY TIME, I wish I had just bought some BERK-B instead.

Could you please tell me what this BERK-B is? I also need to invest some coin.

BERK-B are B shares of Warren Buffett's holding company, Berkshire Hathaway... basically whatever he invests in. B are like A except worth 1/10 as much, to make it more accessible to regular investors. (Warren isn't fond of stock splits, so 1 A share sells for about as much as a luxury car)
