Simply put, I'm a newbie to investing. I only have an international mutual fund from Fidelity (FDIVX) and only 450 shares of SIRI.

I would like to find others to solidly invest in. I'm thinking about RIO and VZ right now. I'm also thinking of an emerging markets fund for the 401k as well.

I'm a beginner, so I chose a risky low priced stock with good growth potential depending on the outcome of the merger.

I have read that international stocks were outperforming the USA, so I chose my scrawny 401k to tap into this fund.

My sister has worked for IP for 15 years so I'm familiar with them. I bought near the 52wk low, so I'm hoping for a rebound.
