It really depends on how much risk you want to take. Apple’s stock could be strong 5 months from now or it could take a huge dip. Same with google. The stock market usually is right for people who want to do more long term investing. If you’re into the short term, I would do research into tech stocks, see what companies you think might be able to have some big sort of breakthrough in that time and look at the history of how the market has treated other such breakthroughs in the past. For example, when Apple first announced the iPhone (or any new product, really) their stock usually takes a hit because the new product is unproven and could possibly fail. If and when that product is a success, the stock rebounds and may go beyond whatever it was at before. This could also take a few months to play out. It also might not happen at all, the market isn’t totally predictable, if it was we’d all be rich, right?
I would honestly suggest that you do as much research as you can stomach, and also look into CDs and the like because their return won’t be stellar, but you also won’t be risking the money as you would with tech stocks (or any stocks, really)
If you go into it expecting to get rich and make more then a couple hundred bucks though- you’re barking up the wrong tree and might think about something like venture capitol instead or investing in a solid business idea, or even buying a few lucrative domain names. You have plenty of options- but research will be key for you.
