When I buy a stock it goes down. When I sell a stock it goes up.

If I ever decide to buy stocks again I'll let you know. Until then I think you'll make more money playing slots.

Junk Bonds is where it's at.

REITs are a good play, they pay fairly high dividends and are somewhat volatile. Get yourself a good chunk of stake money, 5k or so. When you find good candidate watch it for awhile and when it drops 5% or so buy in. Couple weeks later it will recover and then sell enough shares to get your stake money out. Repeat. If you ate lucky it will pay dividends while you have your stake in. Boom, double your money in a year.

I sold a rental property in February of 2009 for a modest gain and really couldn't have timed it better for when to put reinvest the proceeds into large caps. Apple was by far the best buy though at around $90. Pure dumb luck on the timing though.

The tip is obviously to take Beems time machine and do exactly what we did with our stocks.

I know a guy who invested about $2,500 into a burgeoning website, of which the value shot up to over $30,000 only to see the whole investment collapse months later.

Go out 6 months or a year and buy puts that are about $10 under current price. Good chance you'll make some dough.

But it's monthly ad revenue and payments from ESPN still keep him sitting pretty, right?

Turns out a lot of that was related to gaming customers. And existing.
