I assume someone already pointed out that doing this is only a good idea if you are well off enough to consider the $10K "throw-away money" that you don't mind gambling and losing? For people who really need the investment growth and for whom $10K is a lot of money, you shouldn't be sticking it in one stock.

Is there a reason no one has brought up an ETF like VTI or VT or VOO? Or AOA if they wanted a "portfolio"?

No need to actually "track" the indexes which seems to be the thing OP didn't want to do

Because the OP specifically asked for one company's stock.

Depends on a lot of things, without analyzing the market, and what your strategy is it's hard for anyone to say. Because you are asking for any old stock that means you have no insight to technical analysis, and neither does anyone that suggested a stock. The idea is to do what the market is telling you it's doing, and trade off of that, instead of having a monetary goal for one particular trade, that is just an indirect event that occurs when one makes the right trade.

Keep it in cash. Market is wholly overvalued. Major correction before May.
