There are many good mutual funds that over the years have averaged 10% annual return. And some even more. That is one option you should seriously consider. You can research them on Yahoo finance, then go to their web site and research further.
There are plenty of high risk stocks and some even have a good outlook. The problem is that one is more likely to pick a high risk stock that goes to hell. There is about a 10 to 1 ratio in that respect.
Your other responders gave you a long list of good stocks. Here is a different tack to think about taking. From your own personal experience, what products and services do you particularly like? Think about investing in those companies that supply them. You will be using your expertise and most likely have better results than taking our poor advice. |

I'd suggest taking a look at what's getting the nod @ http://caps.fool.com and do some research into them yourself @ http://quote.fool.com (see the investing section on the main http://www.fool.com website for how to do this).
Though some that may be of interest:
Anheuser-Busch (BUD)
Toyota Motor Corp (TM)
Honda Motor Co (HMC)
BOLT TECHNOLOGY (BTJ)
Cadbury-Schweppes (CSG) - could be worth a punt, as there's the possibilty of the company splitting between the part that makes Cadbury's Chocolate, and the part that makes Dr Pepper / 7 UP / Canada Dry ginger ale. |

I had an economic professor who would play stocks by opening the Wall Street Journal and playing darts...it is all about diversification and keeping your money in for the long term...if you invest with a large company watch out for fees, referred to as loads... |

If your looking at the long run, invest in the index like QQQ. I would stick with no load mutual funds until you have some time to really think out where you want to put your money after you get your career going.
You can use www.sharebuilder.com to buy stock at $4 a purchase which is about the lowest your going to find anywhere around.
Good luck, and remember if it sounds to good to be true, it most likely is. Don't buy stock on someone else recommendation without at least doing some research on the company. |

Unless you have a LOT of money to spread around, I would advise you to look into mutual funds rather than individual stocks. Limit it to 3 funds.
Permit me to suggest Vanguard S&P 500 index fund, a domestic growth and income fund (that emphasizes growth over income) like American's Investment Company of America, and an international fund, either diversified like Dodge & Cox International, or locale-specific like Fidelity Latin America.
I own most of these funds, and I am pleased with the results. |

Go for indexes on USA stock exchanges: SPY, COMPX, INDU
I know a share is a lot of money but you can buy portions of a share.
I had GE forever and it made not money. I have owned tons of stocks and your big problem is when to sell them so make yourself a goal of say, 30%, and sell when the stock gets to that level. |

Anything tied to the Euro; since the American lifestyle and the dollar are going straight to the toilet.
Galxo Smith Kline (GSK)
Infineon (IFX)
Ericsson (ERIC)
Buhrmann (BUH)
ICICI Bank (IBN)
are a few.
If you are dead set on American stocks, I guess oil is the way to go for at least a few more years since $100 per barrel oil is here by summer most say.
P.S. So NOT buy mutual funds. The boy is 16, so you should be as aggressive as possible. Mutual funds are a horrible investment. They are terribly taxed and you have very very very little upside to compensate for the amount you have to give to Uncle Sam. I have been around stocks and investing my entire life (my father a broker for over 40 years, and myself for a few as well, before investing full time on my own.) |
