Investing in my future.
natural gas
Invest in the commodity itself? Why?
yep.
I don't cover energy, but why are they trading at a discount (discount to what? NAV?), and why do you think they're going to trade higher? Natural gas prices going up?

i'd answer with education and talk about how it provides the greatest ROI due to the increase in salary you get compared to without
i hope you really dont think having a higher education will guarantee you with a higher or even positive ROI LOL
sure if you want a 'salary' aka working as an employee then okay your education matters. but i know plenty of millionaires, yes millionaires, in my city that dont have anything higher than a BS or BA and some only had high school education. dont get fooled by the education system.
experience in the real world is the best investment. or fucking a hot piece of ass :)
Ammunition... I'm not even joking
Every time I passed over this thread I said to myself ".223 if I could find it" ...sure enough GF would beat me to it

I think SAP is a very interesting stock currently. It is the world's largest developer of enterprise software. They recently developed a highly innovative new software product clearly outperforming Oracle's. Moreover, the stock is cheaply value despite very good fundamentals. If you are concerned about SAP being an European company (considering the recession in Europe); no worries, they generate more than half of their revenue outside Europe.
Buying ETFs on emerging markets is also a good investment I guess. I would not necessarily go for the "regular" ones (e.g. China or Brazil). Smaller emerging markets can be very attractive as well. Turkey and Chile have great outlooks.
The housing market in the US is recovering, maybe you should also investment in some mortgage lenders as well.
And defensive high-yield bonds also have a good risk-return profile.
I would avoid, however, investment-grade government bonds (I believe all this quantitative easing will eventually cause inflation). then IG sovereign debt would carry too low yield to compensate inflation (actually already the case). and if the fed ends floating the markets, inflation risk might be lower, but US treasuries would decline in price, as demand would be lower.
Qualcomm [QCOM] is one of few large tech stocks that could see 20% growth in the next few years. The chip set business makes up 2/3 of Revs, the rest is in licensing business -pretax profit margins are around 41%. On $7.8 Bn of Net income you can expect $7.4 Bn FCF this year.
21.8% Return on both Equity and Total Capital (there's $28 Bn of cash on the B/S) equivalent of $15.42/sh. of net cash. Less this cash gives you a P/E of 11. If you took out 53 cents/sh in stock-based compensation, earnings this year come out at $3.95/sh, and a P/E of 12.5.
QCOM sells to both Samsung and Apple Iphone, 3G and 4G networks. They win whether Apple or Samsung wins.
Plausible answer to plausible question.
good call!
Can't go wrong with Qcom one epic consensus long led by tiger and Viking lol

fyi CHK was a good investment on January 18 now its moving sideways and unless you want to lose money wait for another increase whoever said chk is a douche giving bad info probably while saying stay in school. Hell I know no one wants to give free information they studied maybe for hours and scoured many stocks to find winners but if you dont want to share infor fine just dont give bad info. Hey I suggested UA and DPS and over the next week I might buy both but I saved my gems for myself and If i decide to talk about it later I might but I wont give bad info like my name is enron, maddoff, or goldman sachs
