I don't know if I would get into the market at this point...it is at a 5 year high with the DOW over 11k. You don't want to buy when stock is at or near its 52 week high....as a general rule.

Take a look at DSCO..it is a drug company....have a new drug for premature infants that have lung problems...

Investing on your own can be tricky...like juicing...before you jump in do a lot of reading and research...and chances are you'll still make mistakes...but what the hell...its only money.

read read read all u can, im tryin to do that and im learning. get the wall street journal everyday, once u get in the game u can make better judgements. i have a few stocks, made some from a few companies and lost some. i have around 3k also, and most of it was christmas money and b-day money that i've saved so im not at a huge loss if i lose it. just watch market trends and keep reading...

All I can tell you is that Coke is a no buy....
Oh, you will probablky do better with that $3,000 in Vegas than in the market. I'd look to real estate or precious metals for investment over stocks.

Ditto Animal Cracker post. I am trying to exit 2 positions I now have without taking a loss.

I am moving more of my investments to tangibles that are in a finite supply, such as real estate, land, precisous metals and stones. With such a world eonomy now, it is nearly impossible for the small individual investor to keep up on everything that is occuring around the world that can/will affect a particular equity stock....

Hell for now I would put the money into one of the high yield savings accounts that are offered by on-line banks. I have some in there as well. I'd rather make less of a return, than lose money in the market, which if you invest now, it is likely IMHO.

I'm not a broker or a professional trader...just and informed amatuer.

Good Luck whatever you decide to do........
