I'm thinking about going threw stock trade to get some stock. I have 10,000usd to spend and try to invest for the future. I know some of you all might hate me for saying this but I'm thinking of getting some BP stock and sitting on it for a while since it could double its value for each share example today 28.75 next year 45.76 a share. The cap seems to be holding but I'm wondering if I should wait till December to buy it. Also I was going to buy Microsoft stock and maybe some more proctor gamble. I only have 200 shares in that since it just split a while ago.

BP      37.10      Arrow Down -4.68%-----------              100shares = 3,710
MSFT      24.89      Arrow Down -2.43%--------------- 100 shares = 2,489
PG      61.99      Arrow Down -1.18%--------------------   100 shares = 6,199

Total = 12,389

I'd be 2,389 short but I could knock down BP to 50 shares ect. and hope it splits soon. Would you all think this would be good investments ?

Traveling. cool, I could invest in Nasa since rich folks will be spending a lot of money for space flights

I wouldn't invest in bp until the law suits and other fines are taken care of.  During that process or immediately afterwards wouldn't be too bad as that's when they would probably bottom out.  The other two are probably pretty safe for long term investment.  If you're looking to do all your trading within the next month or so, consider looking into a gold stock/fund that pays dividends.  Those stocks will give you some income which you can either reinvest or use for whatever.

Just keep in mind that the stock market is pretty volatile right now and it's possible that we could be hit with a double dip recession.  If nothing else make sure you're purchasing for a long term investment; don't speculate.

Speak to your bank or an investment broker and put it in a managed fund.
If you put all the money in shares, you have the potential to win big, but you also have the potential to lose big.

If you invest in a diversified fund, you're not just investing in shares, it could also be equities, property, bonds and international markets. Also, a managed fund will be constantly buying and selling according to the market, you have a much greater chance of not losing.

Either that or bung that baby into a pension scheme. Or as someone said, use it to buy a property if you're not already a homeowner.
