[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seeking Alpha is great forum for individual investors.

And Re: index funds. If you know what you are doing, you can beat most funds. It is not easy, takes a lot work and research, but the rewards can be substantial. I had 91% gain last year as a whole in my investment portfolio (major gains mainly from swing trading and investing in Nokia, Blackberry, AMD etc). And active investing is a lot of fun too :)

Also, $8k is so little money that in order to grow it to anything substantial you have to play hard and bold, take some calculated risks...but beware of the trading fees as those can easily kill gains when investing smaller amounts...

Don't tell someone with only $8000 in investable money who doesn't know what an index stock is to actively trade.  What awful advice.  They can easily lose everything.  I know you want to brag about your returns, and that's great and all, but your advice stinks in this situation.  They should stick in in an index stock that tracks dow or s&p and forget about it for 20 years.  When they check up on it they will have a nice surprise.

You sound like a professional day trader.  Totally different situation.[/quote]
