Sparky's Lounge - Stock and Mutual Fund Picks

Sparky's Picks



Of course you play the market at you own risk, but here is what I would pick if I had extra money.

Fund Picks:

#1 Vanguard Index 500 Fund - VXIAF
I did own this fund a few years ago and it did very well.
It seems to consistantly do well.





Stock Pick:

#1 Advanced Micro Devices is my favorite brand of processor. I love and completely
believe in the Athlon series of CPUs.
This stock usually has its year lows during the winter months.
This is a great time to buy.

#2 Xerox - XRX
A great long term buying opportunity.





Risky Stock Picks:

The following stocks, in my mind, have great potential, but probably overvalued.
Also these stocks, are typically, newly introduced technology stocks and usually in high demand or soon will be.

Here is one too watch. This company provides comprehensive wafer fabrication services
and technologies to semiconductor suppliers and manufacturers of electronic systems.
Looks like a great company Chartered Semiconductor
Now at around $4
