I know this isn't really the place, but I wanted to share a couple things I have watched. I liquidated my HMO, because the stocks they where buying were insane, at the beginning of the recession to buy low and make money off of the frenzy that nothing would ever go up. And it was a perfect time to invest and made a couple 100,000 for my family. So I hope I help someone else. Truth is because of my, rash move (wife calls it), I call it common sense, I am closing the million mark with $11,000 that I started with.

Example: I bought LVS at $3.20 now its $52

Things I know to help

Federal National Mortgage Association FNMA or Fannie Mae is .0024 so you can buy 10,000 shares for $20. In 2008 they where $65.
Thats a $300,000 return if it plays out for 1/2.

Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp FMCC or Freddie Mac is .0058 so you can buy 10,000 for $50. In 2008 they where $70
Thats a $400,000 return if it plays out for 1/2.

Ambac Financial Group Inc ABK is $.50. they were almost $90 in 2008.

PTEK is at $.85 and will end at $5 in a year, they are a good buy, and cover the loses you make above, if they fold.

If you can afford blue chip stock, please by LLC. It will pay off.

I have made hundreds of thousands of dollars from this recession. By reinvesting where consumer confidence has destroyed very good stock.

The recession has hurt a lot of us, but because of it I have been able to buy stock and take chances that would be impossible before. I hope this helps someone. I can post many more chances and solids to cover the loss if anyone is interested. Hope I help a bit., just try to give back.

Look at it this way tho, fannie and freddie, are not going to both die. Maybe they will. But its only $70 total for 10,000 shares in each. The payoff could be $80,000 to almost $800,000. Worth a shot.

you have

For a gamble I would seriously consider.

MESAQ
rvhlq
LEHMQ
TMBXF
SIREF
QTMM
PSRU

Solids are for low cost
GSAT
MNTG
LACO
C = Citibank

ITs all gambling. You could spend $3000 total in the stock I showed as a gamble above at 10,000 shares each, then invest in low $2-4 stock I put as solids. If all of the gambles die, dosnt matter, the solids pays for it.

Most dont have the money to pay for gambles and solids. But Im hoping I show that a couple can afford the $70 risk for 10,000 shares. It might pay off, did for me, and im hoping it helps someone else. The funny thing to me is, yes home ownership died, but you really think it will never go back up ever? and who owns the stock when it does, take a chance, it might put $10k in your wallet later.

I think the recession is a chance for us that don't have a lot of money to make investments or take risk to help our future, property is still to expansive.

Pherein I appreciate the post. I'm a skeptical person by nature so I question the motivation. Nothing personal, I guess I just don't understand the market enough.

pherein

My motivation is the help people make some money in a bad time. I want people to know that you could score some extra cash by making some risk investments and that investments of bluechip stock like LLC and MGM (which is $12 and used to be $80 in 2008) are out there.

Before if we wanted to invest in MGM or GE it would cost us $160,000 for 2000 shares, now we can buy 2000 shares of MGM for $24,000 and make serious profit. These stocks are not going to stay down forever.

Almost none of us can take advantage of the slumping house market, but stock is looking great, and its cheap. I dont gain anything by telling anyone this.If fact it hurts me more than anything else because youall will drive my stock up so I cant buy it anymore,lol.

This is a list of stock I am watching for anyone interested. Sorry for the mess scottrade wont let me break it down.

Thanks, Ill try to later so I can post others stocks

CashAndFlash

damn pherein.... as if I didn't respect you enough already...

I actually made some money off of Fannie Mae just before it imploded... like a 70% return in two weeks...

I will check some of these out.

edit: I see you use Scottrade. I was wondering how you were buying these penny stocks... I have no experience with them.

ScottF

Buy ISRG and sell BIDU short

pherein

Nice tip. Big money stock

pherein

I have to buy them limited instead of margin. Nice of you to say Cash, goes both ways. Remember everyone any stock with a Q at the end is very risky. Im really hoping this helps a few families that have say $500 to risk. I mean 10k extra to any of us, is a mini van debt.

On a short note dont gamble to much, pick a couple long shots , but also put money in a sure thing. Id love to see more stock posted here for people, that are $0.10 - $2.00 a share , and are stable, and might go to $10 later.
