The Blue Board

Big Canadian banks, some small by not as volatile tech companies, some energy companies.

Why in the world would I tell you where I'm investing?

I have $0 in the market. It's all in real estate. I don't know enough about the stock market and I dont care to learn at this point.

Have a brokerage account but don't have the money necessary to buy a reasonable amount of anything since I just graduated, I do a little option trading though since it's low risk/low reward and you don't need as much capital.

It appears to be a good time for short term investments in the stock market. I wouldn't buy now for anything long term, though. With the current environment, if you are looking for long term investments then think hard assets such as gold, silver, real estate, etc.

The link is a Q & A on silver and gold. It may not make much sense if you aren't already familiar with the markets but I found it interesting.

always seemed like a rigged game to me. The pros have more info, and with the amount of capital at their disposal they can manipulate the price on a penny stock quite easily

I'm boring compared to most.

I hold index mutual funds with low expense ratios and turnover. Wife and I are 30/31 and hold a pretty aggressive asset allocation emphasizing small and mid cap companies.

The guys I read and follow their principles are Jack Bogle, Burton Malkiel, and Dave Ramsey.
