Help a noob choose some stock

[steme]

Hey guys just wanted to get some quick opinions. I have a portfolio valued around 40k. I snatched up some AIG, C, RBS and LYG last week. Now I got another 15k I plan on moving around. I'm looking at two diffrent energy companies and a comm stock. The comm stock im set on is NIHD I will get 300 shares of that. Now when it comes to the energy companies im torn between NE and CHK. CHK seems to be the higher yeilding higher risk company while NE seems to be more stable.

Any input at all would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

AIG is day trade stock, keep an eye on NOV when it pulls back a little,great potential.

Are you an experienced trader? If not stay away from those stocks you mentioned. They are not investments...they're trades. Please be careful.

Yea NOV is on my list of stocks to watch. I'm going to hold off on buying and see how fare oil falls. Than I think I will buy 100 shares per week of whatever energy company I decide on. And I only bought 100 shares of AIG @ $35 Im not taking as much risk as you guys may have assumed. I still have my rock steady mutual funds holding most of my portfolio.
