Best way to make money in stocks?

If you had $5k and wanted rapid positive returns, what would you do?

Update:

Tangent, so you just click the button that says "stocks that will appreciate by a lot". Great! Tell me where to find that button and how you do it.

    Buy low.

    Sell high.

    Pretty simple, really.

    I would invest every penny of it into a security that is going to appreciate by a lot, but I'm strange like that. The "appreciate by a lot" button comes from lots of research. The methodology behind the research comes from a book called Security Analysis. It is one of the most important value investing books in finance, and teaches how to be an investor and not a speculator. There are plenty of books like it, but if you are serious about investing, the book is a must. It will teach you how to find exactly where to put that $5k for the long term. Good luck!

    stocks and rapid returns do not go together.

    stocks usually pay over a long term.

    short term - a few deals will give positive returns, and many will be negative.

    be careful..... the big money attracts small money very quickly.
