remember the key to being sucessfull in the stock market is by learning how to spell "stock" right.

but for real, I haven't checked in a few days, but I've been watching Abercrombie's stocks and that's a fuckin bank right there. It's been going up for a lonnnng time now. I'll be putting some real money in stocks (maybe 100 bucks) at the end of the summer and as much as I don't like Abercrombie, they're killin it.

gold, copper, oil, and other random metals are only going to go up in the future. sure gold is at like 640, which is pretty far off from its recent high of around 800, but everything was way up there around the end of may. just look at this graph: Click for larger image
since all of the metals are going up, it currently costs like 1.2 cents to manufacture just one penny. and pre 1982 pennies have like 2.5 cents of copper in them

Gold Yes, Copper probably not. Oil possibly, but also could take a nosedive into the ground.

Sir Holland my advice is to hold onto it no matter how much you lose. Gold has been valuable for hundreds of years and unless the biggest gold discovery in history is made, it will go way up from what it is now.

Also, the money the government spends for the copper and manufacturing of pennies all goes back into the economy, so it's all good. The cost of producing money doesn't make a big difference. It helps us out economically either way.

lets talk about gold as an investment, it is a defensive play. but over the last 20 years 6/1986 to 6/2006 gold as measured by the Gold london Prime market index has returned 2.76% annually where as stocks measured by the s&P 500 compostie index have returned 8.45% annually during the same time period. now copper ont he other hand is more of a supply deamnd eriven commodities play. it has its ups and downs as well but if applied to a proper stratigie can be a vaulbe part of your commodities allocation. and over all no one should probable have more than 10% commidities in their overall investment portfolio. right now my target allocation to comodities for a moderatly aggressive client is about 5% but what do i know it is only my job.

first off gold is not rare, kit is no rarer than say iron. it became the first firm of coinage because of its weight and maulbility. second off copper maybee not are you kidding me the demand for copper right now is astonomical. all electronics need copper. with economic expansion in china cooper will probably continue to escalate seeing that in may it had already hit 3 times is previuos histric high. oil just trades on future feer and should remain volatal, my advice if you want to play the metals markwets it would be better done investing in the supplers then the commodities itself. for example instead of buying copper futures. buy Southern Copper (PCU) it produces about 820 million pounds of mined copper a year. so not only will you get appreciation with the price of copper but the company pays like a 10% dividend

by real money, I meant actual currency; not a stock market game, which I'm assuming the maker of this thread meant. www.marketwatch.com has a stock game for example.

100 bucks, haha, the commision you get charged will be like 20% of what you invest, haha, good one.  I've kept my money out of resources over the last little while as they seem to be pretty volatile, and I dont like that.  I'm doing my DD right now on what to put my money into during this bear market so that I get a grab on the gains from companies that pull us out of it.  I am looking at a lot of commercial and there are some enviro-tech companeis that look pretty interesting.  I was actually looking at abercrombie too, when are they doing a full invasion of Canada?  That would be huge.

Yes, I'm aware of the commission, my dad's giving me 100 bucks to actually invest, not including commission and whatever fees. He already has stocks and bonds, so he's just gona put 100 in for me. I know it's not alot, but It's something small to get started with.
