safe stock to buy

[d2bets]

just pay off your loan the old fashioned way, 30k is nothing if you budget right. If you're trying to triple your money in 8 months, that would be a full-time job and even then you'd be very lucky to pull it off unless you have some secret info. And, if you lose money you'll have lost twice since you're still in debt.


If I were you I'd take that 10k and put towards the loan, a good chunk of it at least. Granted I wouldn't have done that when I was younger but that is the advantage of hindsight. If you owe 30k and can cut it to 20k that is huge. You'll blink and it will be 2 years from and you'll be happily debt free. Or you can blink, 2 years later, and wondering why you didn't pay off your loan which the interest has increased even higher.

Probably bad advice, but depends on a lot of factors. That student loan is probably very low interest and tax-advantaged. Depends on other resources, sources of income, other needs, personal, etc. Is he saving for a down payment? But if that student loan is very low interest, I'd hesitate before giving up cash in hand. to pay it off in part.

no, I don't give bad advice. You know that.

my money is on it going higher. Miners

[d2bets]

For what he's making, he needs to keep that extra dough safe for a rainy day. He chunks it down to make student loan go from 30k to 20k, he isn't getting it back if he needs it. It's bad advice because you didn't have enough facts before giving it.

Good luck man. Keep the 10k safe for a rainy day.

he's 22, he doesn't need rainy day money and certainly not 10k worth. In fact, rainy day money would be the WORST decision for a young person unless you enjoy watching their money lose value every year because of inflation?

[The Kraken]

The utility of an emergency fund far outweighs how much value he loses from i flation

First time he has an emergency an needs money, he's pulling out his credic card and getting hit with 15.99%

He needs a rainy day fund

[chico2663]

Brutal.

You need to find sales job. SI SE PUEDE!

[grease lightnin]

30 k
i will help hold for 8 months

8 months is nowhere near long enough for you to expect a 300% return. Is it possible? Yes. Probable? No.

Right now you can knock out a 1/3rd of your debt. If you buy a stock and hold it for 8 months, it is more probable that you will have less than 10k to put toward your loan than it is that you will have enough to pay it off.

And if you intend to "trade" in and out. Even less probablilty of reaching your goal.

Gamble for fun, but be smart when it comes to major life choices, like how to pay off debt.

[grease lightnin]

And for those who say he should keep it as a rainy day fund, rather than put it toward loan....couple questions...

1. How did you acquire the 10k? Are you a saver? Or would you be likely to spend or gamble the 10k if it is easily accessible?

2. What is the interest rate on the loan?

[Sledge187]

I just added a SBR watchlist for all the stocks mentioned in this thread. I already own Apple and Twitter. Citi seems like a great buy right now.

a 22 year old putting money into a rainy day fund is the dumbest move they could make from a financial standpoint.


I can't imagine what disasters you think are going to affect him?

I doubt he has a house yet, he has health insurance and probably doesn't have kids yet. And, he has income.

So, rainy day fund for what? His ipod or a flat tire?

Donald trump being elected and screwing up the financial market. Only reagan as a repub was good for the market and that wasn't including w last 2 years.
