Tesla might be a stock to short. If you are a new investor, save yourself some money and buy an index fund. Time in the market > timing the market.

^This.
Generally, by the time a normal investor is aware of something that makes timing the market lucrative, the market has already corrected itself for said anomaly. Unless you are really in the know, timing the market will almost always net you a loss in the long run. Of course, if you are truly in the know and attempt to time the market, you will run afoul of the law and end up like Martha Stewart. Put regular amounts into some good S&P 500 index funds or some SPDR's and you will do just fine over the long haul.

I used to invest heavily in individual securities and trade options. It's too time consuming and while I made money along the way, you're better off investing in a fund. I now strictly invest in index funds and have done quite well.

+1 for index funds. I think the chances that I will consistently outperform the market by picking individual stocks is very small. Most managed mutual funds can't do it and they have people far more qualified and with much more information than I do. I also don't want to spend the time to do the research required to pick the winners.
Seems like most pick stocks because of forum advice or something far from a real advantage (understanding new products or the business they are in) that would allow me to do better than the average person.
