or you minimize your risk by investing in mutual funds instead of individual stocks

I said mutual funds, not bank accounts and CDs 
And I think I see the confusion... I'm talkign more long term investing. Short term trading then yeah, but you gotta watch the trends and play em.

If I would have bought apple stock when I first bought my computer, it was 9.75/share. Now, it has split 2:1 and even with a giant fall since christmas, the shares are at 122.25/share.. say $1000 back in 01, I would have $25,000 now.. but since christmas would have lost $15,000..I would probably be very unhappy with that

When I interned at a Wall Street Investment Finance Company, I was assigned to a team and we played this stock game with real money. We ended up getting 3rd out of 7, but I made some very wise decisions this past fall. I brought a good amount of Amerigas, Scotts landscaping, and some unpopular named petroleum company overseas and its what got my team from 5th to 3rd place. Its true, if you really monitor the stock market and look at everything like charts, dividends, etc.. you can make some good money. My only regret was that it was their money and not mine.

seeing that Northrop-Grumman just won a multi billion dollar contract, that might be a good direction to look in. Government and military companies are the easiest to make money on. Read the insider magazines, see who wins big contracts, buy their stock that day, hold onto it for a little while, sell. The big ones after 9/11 were Raytheon, Lockheed, Haliburton, and General Dynamics.
