Its a far too open question and the answer can range from a short-dated gilt for the risk-averse to an AIM oily for the gambler.0

As you'll know from your economics study, the world's economy and the values of the companies on its stock markets grow over time.
Consequently, most of the companies are good stocks to buy. If you buy all of them you will probably gain rather than lose over the long term, particularly if you weight your holdings towards some of the bigger ones which have proven businesses rather than the startups which have yet to make any money - many startups fail within X years.
If we knew which specific stock was going to go up in value the most and the fastest with the least risk, we and everyone else would already have bought it - it would no longer be relatively cheap and the risks would no longer be relatively small0 -
I don't know, but I'm sure it won't be very long before puppy linux tells us :cool:0

Good stocks to buy ?
Do your own homework.0 -
So you should know the various ways of assessing the value of a company (e.g. current and future earnings, profit and debt). Then you just need to look for shares in a company that are cheap relative to this value and which presents a reasonable level of risk relative to your appetite for taking on risk.puppy_linux wrote: »I'm a student in economics.

I used puppy linux for a while. Someone was recently talking to me about a project around it and the memories all came flooding back!I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.0 -
Invest in cats.
Everyone loves cats.
Beyond that, it's more complicated.0 -
everyones love for cats is already factored into the share price, as is the risk from angry neighbours about poop in the flower beds. Cats are quite a high risk sector so don't invest more than 10% of your pawfolio in them.0

HSBC.

Diversification is key with cats, you don't want to be overweight in, say, black cats and much like bonds, they tend to under perform as they approach maturity0
