Need a stock tip.

The only people I trust for a tip like this is a fellow boater. Plus you would have nothing to gain by giving bad advice on purpose. I have about 2 grand to reinvest so I am looking for something under $20.00 a share with good growth potential or solid EPS with a good dividend. So what you got? Thanks Mark<br />P.S. A insider would be trusted more (not that I am a insider trader).

Hi, FSN.<br /><br />What are your goals?<br /><br />For long term capital gain I favor real estate, but it is not liquid. . .you can't turn it back into money immediately. The best way to do that with $2K is to pay down the balance on your mortgage or other (car?) note if the interest is 6% or more.<br /><br />If I were going to increase my "position" in my current portfolio, it would probably be in Cisco Systems or in Hewlett Packard.<br /><br />Good luck.

Go get some TIVO stock. It's sitting aound 9$ a share right now and they are going to hold there 4th quarter meeting on the 20th. Which will cause the stock to rise. Always has. Plus we are comming into the holiday season and the sales figures so far are looking good. Directtv said they are keeping them for right now. I look for them to be at 15 sometime in the first quarter of 2004 especially with the release of HD TIVO. And if they announce a cable deal watch out! This would cause the stock to jump into the 30's and maybe higher.

Re: Need a stock tip.

Hay guys; <br />Thanks for the tips.<br /> J B Thanks for the tip about paying down any loans over 6% and it has been done over the last year. You could almost pick your own rate on a re-fi. It’s been great but I think its over. This is a change in my current portfolio. I just got out of a stock that ran a little to high to hold on to (it wasn't one of my long term holds). Everything I have looked at in the last week appears to be way over valued (because of the markets run in the last year). So it is hard to tell what to buy on a companies valuation. I have 28 companies on my watch list and I own 22 different companies across the board and at this point I wouldn't put any more money in any of them except for MMM (3M) but at $77.00 a share after a recent split I think I will just hold what I have and pray for another split. Then when you find something (without following it for a period of time) you are not sure what's going to happen regardless of what the market dose (some move with, some move opposite of the market as you know). Thought maybe someone has been following something and thought it was time to buy.<br /> In good faith I’ll give you my best pick of the year. Before hand I will tell you I am in at 3 and it is at 6+ but with numbers coming out on 12/18 (there is a good chance they will have positive earnings for the first time since the fraud and near bankruptcy) it could go a lot higher. Don't worry everyone is gone and they have a new team running things that appear to be doing a good job. We will see............. Rite Aid (RAD) Check it out for yourself. Even though I am up a 100% I am not selling.<br /> J B with those two arent you worried about DELL?
