Run, run away as fast as you can.

Watch the news a lot. If your seriously going to keep up with this, watch Fox News at least 45-60 min. a day. Normally you can keep up with whats going to happen if you know what's going on.

Next, if you think something is really going to happen, buy about 250-400 stocks of it. Just make sure it's going to be a stable stock to hold on to by looking at the graph on the stock's page. If you think it's going to go down soon, buy shorts of it. The simple rule behind short selling is that if you think a security is over-priced, you should sell it short. When you are ready to cash in your profit you cover your position. "Covering" is to "Shorting" what "Selling" is to "Buying."

Just thought you wanted to know

Or you can buy 1000 shares of it.

Thanks for the advice and I'm not going anywhere

buying short stocks is a good idea too, more than 3/4 of my stocks are long, and I'm gonna be waiting for years for them to pay off. -_-

buy short stocks, in blocks of 1000, and when they earn 2000 or more cover and reshort them to open up liquidity you can use to diversify your portfolio
