HI
I have a decent amount of money lying around
which I would want to invest in the stock market
I’m ready to take on risk to achieve nice returns
I’m wondering if anyone has some ideas of stocks that
have a lot of upside potential?April 27, 2026 4:57 pm at 4:57 pm #2541236ujmParticipantS&P 500 index fund.
April 27, 2026 4:57 pm at 4:57 pm #2541332Just VisitingParticipantUntil you’ve studied the stock market for years, do not buy single stocks. The standard advice in this business gives (as far as I know) is to invest in SPY and QQQ but ONLY IF you can keep the money in for the long term (at least one or two years at the very minimum, preferably 5 years plus.)
There is a sentiment now to expect a temporary setback in the market in the near future. So you can either wait to see if that happens and buy the dip or get in now and ride the wave when it comes or put in 50% of what you want to invest now and wait on the other 50%.
I’ve heard it’s ok to invest a maximum of 2% of your investment funds on high risk stocks.
Do not get greedy. You don’t want to lose money in the stock market. It’s not pleasant!

As a stock, I just invested some of my son’s bar mitzvah money in Verizon, they give dividends which im reinvesting into it so in a few years I hope it will be worth something

April 28, 2026 11:23 am at 11:23 am #2541435RockyParticipantNo offense to the wonderful YWN coffee room members, by my advice is don’t turn to the coffee room for
halachic guidance
financial advice
psychological therapy
deciding major life decisions (whom to marry, which seminary or yeshiva to go to, what job to take etc.)The YWN coffee room is great for many things and can serve as a forum to address major issues affecting world events and serious hashkafic issues. However, certain areas should be reserved for experts and not strangers with no skin in the game

There is nothing more you need. After you have digested it thoroughly invest in the 2- or 3-fund portfolio depending on your age, ability and need for risk.

Dont hesitate to invest to invest in AI stocks, but like all stocks, even successful ones, but you have to keep it long term and not sell if it goes down. Most people lose money in stocks when they sell as soon as is goes down.

April 28, 2026 2:11 pm at 2:11 pm #2541740SQUARE_ROOTParticipantIndex Funds perform better than most actively-managed funds.
You must buy-and-hold for the long term,
and resist the temptation to manage your Index Funds.Just buy them, and then forget about them, until you retire.

“Buy Low, Sell High.” -
