I realize many here have faced hard times being in Design / IT after the tech bubble burst.



However look at how various stocks have done during the course of 03:



Best Buy Electronics

Four Seasons

Nortel Networks

Starbucks Coffee

Electronic Arts Apple Computer



My advice is to save as to invest and ride the wave.



How many here invest in equities? bonds? speculate in futures and options?



What are your favorites investments / trades?

    Index funds. Over time you'll get your annual 12.5%, after allowing for periods of recession...daytrading is, in the end, just too risky. You'll never have the same access to information that institutional investors / fund managers have, so any extraordinary profits that you might make will be due to lucky second-guessing.



    All my money is tied up in paying off college loans anyway

    AKAM. Since their all time low (in Oct of last year) at $.56, they have gone up over 1600%. That's a damn good return. Just during this year, they've gone up over 400%. From about 1.90 in January to 9.08 at closing today. BTW, AKAM is serving the data for the iTMS and many of the other music services. One of them is going to win (probably AAPL), but AKAM will come out on top regardless.

    AKAM is now up to $11.04. This stock has been insane in the past 2 weeks. It's doubled in price. I got out at $11.50 today. No more stocks for me for a while. Whew.
