Hi,

	I am the originator of the article about investing $20. 

	A few years ago, I predicted that Wang Lab would bankrupt.
Since Wang's stock fluctuates between $2 and $5 (for some time), I
could buy 10 shares at $2 and sell them at $5. If I scalped a little
now and then, I could actually earn a profit before Wang's final days.
But my speculation rested on the assumption that there was no minimum
number of shares a person could buy or sell, and that I was THE LUCKY
ONE.

	I have been following this group, and I am surprised to find
no one who is thinking about my strategy. What are the fatal flaws of
my "fantastic plan?"

	Thanks.

Rong

To blindly buy stocks based on their PE alone is asking for 
trouble. There are often very good reasons for PE to be low, 
e.g. law suits that the company will probably lose. However, 
if you can select those stocks that have no fundamental reason 
to be low, then it seems as good a strategy as any.

Technical analysis may be useful in determining the timing of trades.
Past studies have indicated the best times to buy stocks are in
December, at the end of any month, and at the end of the day on Monday.
The best time to sell stocks is in February, after the fifth trading day
of the month, and late on Friday.

Any comments or opinions as to why this is so.

Why suggest that she buy round lots?  She'd be far better off 
buying 18 shares (or whatever, to make $1000) of each of the 
higher-priced stocks, so she _could_ have some diversification.  
What difference does the price of the stock make?  There's no 
meaningful penalty for buying an odd lot!  Thus it's smartest to 
invest roughly equal amounts in each stock (unless you purposely 
wish to favor one or two), adjusting the shares purchased to (the 
inverse of) the price.

You can buy one share of $0.1 if you like. But your $20 won't be enough

Note that the original poster said "cannot deduct the $2,000."  You may
fund an IRA for the full $2,000 regardless of your income and whether or
not you are covered by a qualified employee pension plan.  If you are
covered by such a plan, and your income exceeds certain thresholds, you
may not be able to _deduct_ the amount you put in, but you can still fund
the account, and it grows tax-free until withdrawl.

I heard of couple ways:

1) Near year end, buy shares of mutual funds that have realized capital
loss to be distributed.  When the funds x-div (distribute the loss),
you have a bunch of paper loss to offset your current gain.  Of course,
you should not blindly buy a loser fund.  You should buy into funds you
think that have hit the bottom and on the way up.

2) Every year, buy a few speculative stocks.  At year end, sell enough
lossers to offset any capital gains.  Again, buy potential winners.

>Would the losses then be offset by gains in future years?

These are ways to defer tax on capital gain to the future.  The
advantage is to "borrow" from Uncle Sam for your own investment.  This
is not as evil as it appears.  If you know how to invest, you are
investing Uncle Sam's money too.

>Can one trade stocks and avoid capital gains tax?

What do you mean avoid?  Avoid them this year, yes.  Avoid them ever?
yes, but you don't want to do that.  You would have to really lose
money to do that.  Look at it the bright side, the government takes
about a 40% cut (fed + state + local) and you still have 60% for
yourself.

	The problem I had with these things were the minimum commissions.
I wanted to use Prodigy's PCFN, but that had a minimum commission fee

Nothing has been passed yet.  However, since Lloyd Benson is about to
become Treasury Secretary, and since he was a primary proponent of this,
there's a good chance that it will be considered again this term.

On the other hand, it's not an election year, and the deficit is pretty big,
so it might be more likely in 1994 :-).

Do not overestimate the meaning the p/e since it only reflects the trust
of the investors into this equity. A much more expressive figure could be

Well, last spring I bought 300 shares of a very low-price
stock for about $1,000.  By the end of the year, the stock
had gone up 60% in price, and had also declared a dividend
worth another 15%, for a net increase of about 75%.  I'm sure
that others on the net here can tell you similar stories,
the point being that small dollar amounts are not "too little"
for stocks.

On the other hand, stocks in this range are considerably 
riskier than the well-known technology companies you probably
have in mind.  Those have prices in the $50 to $100 range, so
you're talking $5,000 to $10,000 just to buy a lot of 100
shares of one stock.  And this one stock doesn't give you
any diversity in case that one company happens to experience
some hiccups during the year.  The $1,000 that I invested was
money that I had decided ahead of time I was willing to lose;
I don't think you can say the same for the sum you're trying
to stash away to support yourself when you quit working! ;-)
I also agree with the other post that dealing in these
smaller, more volatile stocks is pretty time-consuming, as
they need more babysitting than a steady blue-chipper.

So I think what your planner was saying was that it would
take a little more (say $20,000 and up) to put together a
balanced portfolio of a few stocks trading in the kind of
range you're talking about wherein you have at least 100
shares or so of each.

Personally, I would feel most comfortable investing an amount
that you talk of around $5,000 in one or two good growth-oriented
no-load mutual funds such as Janus.

I posted a question on SBP a couple days ago and did not 
get the usual net reply, so I'm trying again.


Does anyone know the situation at SBP? Are they going to recover 
from Chapter 11 or is it just a slow death? 

Thanks in advance.
