It is your money. Personally though, I'd say to invest it in a diverse manner instead of 1-2 stock. Something like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (Ticker Symbol: SPY) or a popular Vanguard fund will get you exposure to hundreds of different stock for a fraction of the cost of purchasing each individual stock.

Good choice. The fund is highly rated by Morningstar and has an expense ratio 0.15%.when the average fund is about 9x that.

I mentioned it before, but a trading website I use is having stock picking contests. They have yearly/quarterly/monthly competitions, so with the new year around the corner, the deadline to enter a handful of the contests is coming up next week. The contests have spreadsheets to track everyone's returns and stuff. Usually a fun time and good bragging rights. I say do some due diligence over the weekend and throw your picks out there.

Here is the link. Hope to see some of y'all stock-heads in the competition.

@Big Jo you still around??

MCIG taking off

I'm not in MCIG anymore. Sold it a long time ago. Was jumping in and out. Lost money most times I traded it. It was nearly $1 at one point

You think this is a long term hold?

Short answer is no, probably not a good long term hold. The CEO was shady from what I remember. Lots of fluff PR. Not sure if he's still with the company. This is a good flipper stock, it will go on runs like this and you can potentially make nice money swing trading. But you can lose money on it too. I'm not that good at reading charts, but technical plays are probably you're best bet here. Be cautious
