Diversify! Put 33% in each risk category, and don't sweat it if one makes a huge gain and the others don't. Stocks and mutual funds are constantly changing.

I'm no stock market expert but the way things are going the bubble is gonna bust again just as soon as the FED stops the QE spending so screw the stock market invest in guns and ammo.

A word of advice my friend, be careful, if it seems too good to be true, it usual is. If making $10,000 fast was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Get with a good flat rate trading company, spend every hour watching the world news/markets and make an educated guess. I have done VERY well in the past doing this. 10k In a day is no problem if you have the $$ to play with and are not scared to lose double that.

Just know as fast as it comes, the faster it goes!!. Don't catch a falling knife!! You have to have big $ to make those types gains. Same (almost) as going to the casinos. I cashed out WAAAAAY to early. Good luck!

I am betting as Buffet and Soros are that there will be a 50-90% correction in the market. My suggestion is gold, silver, platinum and stay out of stocks unless you are willing to lose 50-90% before you can get it out.

Buy low sell high, go for it!
First off the only person that always makes money in the market are the brokers. If there was a sure fire thing to quickly make $8-10K everyone would do it. Quick only means HIGH Risk. Odds with high risk is that you will lose your ass which is why the return is great when you get in and out at the right times. The commodities markets may fill your needs for high fast return. On the other hand you may loose it all.
Let me just toss this out to you. If you need to ask stock advice on a gun forum you probably shouldn't be doing this type of investment. I don't mean any disrespect by this just a reality check. Unless someone gives you an insider tip a quick 8-10K ain't happening. You need to know the history of the markets you want to invest in. You must also know what outside factors impact your potential stock. Oranges: weather patterns, bugs, water, frost, and import fruit impact. Crude: War, locations, demand (current & future),, climate, stockpiles, pipelines and shipping. Internet companies: Flash in the pants or long term potential, competition, potential expansion clone copy-write and infringements.
You would need to watch market trends most every waking moment and quickly respond to changes. Your trading must make more profit then what it costs you to complete a cycle (buy-monitor-sell). Depending on your setup, you can have automatic buy and sell points. The market or your broker may not be open as the points hit and are passed so there is no guarantee of action and as always you can loose your ass.
As was mentioned in another post to be diverse in your investments. Correct. If you are still going for the fast $8-10k then you need to know all and watch all. This is a lot of irons in the fire. If you diversify with different levels of risk you can breath a bit easier.
Investing in the market is like going on vacation in Vegas except no drinks, no great buffets, no Elvis. Never take or invest money you can't afford to loose. There is also some potential to end up with such a loss there may be liability and fees involved.
The old words of wisdom were buy low now and let it ride for the long haul. I think they still apply.
As an alternative you may look at local bonds from communities with high growth potential.
Real estate: there is only so much dirt. Prices and rates are still real good. Location, Location, Location= $. Buy it rent thn sell when prices are right. Plain dirt in the right place is good too.

You are wise indeed. My Oregon PERS was a good one. State put in equivalent of 6% of your net earnings (no cost to me) into a PERS account. you could elect to leave it in the standard account or high risk (you could do a % in each but not change it but once a year). I took the 100% standard since I had another retirement income established. The State had and still do have a great investment team. The high risk accounts were making 66% while the standard made 9-12% with a guaranteed min of 6%. Life was real good for the high riskers until 9/11. The market flux wiped out about 70% of their investments, while mine dropped to 6% with less then $3K loss. Bad times. Though I retired from there in 06, the account is untouched continues to grow.
Most if not all fed/state/county retirement plans are mandatory 401K. If you withdraw: "PENALTY", If you go to a new Dept you can normally transfer it to a new
401 K. With the crap market and slow growth you better stash for your own retirement.
Buy stock in liquor and ammo companies, there will always be demand. War is hell but it is good for the economy.

Same thing could be said about going over to Biloxi and playing blackjack on the $500 minimum table

I would not go with anything high risk because the insiders are the people making the money and the small man is more likely to loose and if you do make money the government will be right there to collect , then of course if you loose then " oh well "
fast money seldom works for the average person without insider help.
I am heavily invested in AT&T and Comcast stock and they have been great for me as my quarterly dividend checks continue to grow.

Been there, done that a few times. The market is VERY similar. I play on my own with a few outside tips. You can better your odds, but at the bell, you never know. When I was in it heavy, I was glued to EVERY info source on the planet. Profitable at times sometimes not, just not my cup of tea to be a prisoner to a screen to make a buck.

I like silver. Especially eagles. Cheap enough to get in, extremely portable, room for great growth

The route I take is to invest in solid blue chip stocks that remain stable and pay around 8-9% dividend returns on investment. Let it sit , reinvest all dividends and check in from time to time . You will be supposed how fast it snowballs. I know this strategy does not apply to your fast money paradigm , but is the most stabil of all methods to play the market.
