I'm buying 1000 shares of Halliburton this morning

I have the money sitting in an investment accout, nowhere doing nothing. HAL is trading about $36 per share. 24 hours from now I may be a king or a pauper. Like putting $36,000 down on red.

Keep up for further developments.

Good luck! I wish I had even a TENTH of that sitting around. I know a few good bets.

Everyone has already arbitraged this stock man. If you want real things to invest in I have several of them.

I didn't look up the meaning of <b>arbitraged</b>, but it sounds bad. So I didn't buy. We will see tomorrow. UT, let me hear your ideas (and you too, Brian). Privately if you wish.

It means people smarter than you and me have bought and sold the shit out of the stock to the point where anything that could happen is already built into the price.

I have two investment opportunities right now. The more promising is called Business Architects LLC. This is the system that my buddy has come up with and patented, which helps people to map out complex things with a system of flowcharts and "abstraction". We hope that in 10 years everybody uses it to develop all complex things. We are developing a second business just to develop tools for it. It could be HUGE and investors could become quite rich. Or it could bomb because nobody winds up using it. I believe that if it were promoted right it would take off and be massive.

The second opprtunity is a small record label I work with that could become quite profitable with the right kind of marketing. It needs money to promote itself so it can reach a critical mass. This is an excellent investment for someone who loves music but hates to have money sitting around. But with the right kind of TLC it could be quite profitable.

Can I just throw my money out the window and pee on my own shoes instead? This would be a great investment opportunity for someone who hates having money ... period.

Sorry, I'm a little bitter. Seen many, many people lose money trying to make indie music profitable, and seen too few people actually pull anything out of it.

With Bush's re-election, the price of gold is once more on the up-turn. I bought in when it was at $385.00/oz. So far, I have made $200 after fees on a very small investment in a very short time. I will continue to keep my eye on this very volatile market, but right now, I think it's worth looking at.
