'guarenteed profits' SHARES

[slab999]

Anyone know of any shares that are really cheap at the mo but are expected to increase (considerably!) in the near future?

haven't got a clue what I'm doing but it might be fun?

Only buy shares with money that you can either afford to lose (share prices can plummet) or that you don't have any need to access for at least 10 years. In the latter case, buy shares in a huge established company that has consistent growth & will continue to do so (such as Microsoft or GSK).

A tiny minority of people get lucky buying shares in the get rich quick fashion that you describe. Most get burned rather badly.

There is no such thing as a cheap share. Each share is priced correctly based on the current available knowledge of the share company. But the future share price is dependant on future random events and is therefore unpredictable. If you have some inside knowledge that will affect the share price, then you can make a killing, except that it is illegal to do so. So buying shares is a gamble and you may win or you may lose.

But over a longer period of time, it is probably true that share prices plus dividends will exceed the rate of inflation. But this is not guaranteed. It is possible to lose all your money . Proceed with caution and remember that nobody, including all experts and journalists, knows what future share prices will be.

Man, i dont think share is a gamble, misconception of the word share and gamble makes people who take it to be a gamble loose on the long or short run of it.75% to 85% of investors loose to remaing 25% or 15% who knows what they are doing.A few people takes brokers recommendation as investment advice and at the end fall short. Ask some people to give you their criterial for buying shares in any company they have chossen and they`ll tell you its a good company operating over a long time.

It is true future price is dependent on future random effect but as a strong share holder you need to have it deep down your mind that you own a grain in the company you bought.Future random effect comes sequentially, they do not just come once, if you monitor activities in that company you cant be a great looser, you can always sell your holdings at the right time if you combine your criterial and follow your instincts.

I think shares is a good investment.
