What stocks to buy in 2013

When you are trying to figure out what stocks to buy in 2013 you have to look at some numbers and try to figure out what is going to give you the best return on your money. If you were to say that you really believe in INTC Intel then you would have to believe that they are going to continue to make money. Some people of course do not believe that but I am pretty positive that Intel is one of my favorite stocks and will continue to make money. If you were to look at a smaller company and hope for them to grow then of course your risk would be a little higher. Looking at some of the smaller companies of the past few years I have seen many of them collapse under the pressure.

When you set out to buy stocks in 2013 make sure that you do solid research and don't listen to your buddy at work. Now maybe they have some good ideas but you are always better to at least look into it yourself. Some of my favorite stocks of 2013 are General Electric, Mcdonalds, Walmart and Intel because these are strong companies with a proven record of success. They also provide a nice dividend to help me hold onto them for as long as I would like to.

You certainly should diversify more than that though because there are loads of great stocks out there all you have to do is find them. You could also add Verizon (symbol:VZ) to your list of what stocks to buy in 2013 because it seems to be the best phone stock available at this point. There are many options out there that are either going to sustain and provide dividends or could go up by 200%.

Last year in late 2011 and the beginning of 2012 I bought DDD 3d systems corp and before I sold it I made about 200% on it. It was a company I heard about on television and then decided to buy after researching it. It's all about buying stocks at the right time and then knowing when to sell them. I am a long term investor so generally I buy things and stick with them. Although, when something goes up 200% and isn't earning enough money to warrant that price I will generally sell it.

We will continue updating our ex dividend list each month so that you will have the chance to buy companies that look good before the ex dividend and get paid the next dividend. Making money is about choosing the right companies at the right time and it's your job to try and figure out when that is. Way too many people rely on a broker or some guy on television to tell them when to invest but in reality if you are in it to make solid money you need to know what you are doing. When making your personal list of what stocks to buy in 2013 remember to include dividend stocks as well as growth stocks this way you are getting a little bit of everything you need to succeed. If you are going to buy funds that is your choice I have always bought them but I know some people don't like to.

So you should know what stocks to buy in 2013 once you do your research and I wish you the best luck possible. Then again this isn't about luck is it? It's about risk management and taking control of your future. Dig deep into all of the companies you invest in and you should come out ahead. Never just get a tip off a website and run with it. Make sure you do all your own research no matter what!
