If you have a strong stomach for $100 price fluctuations in a day (that's $10,000 on 100 shares), you can buy something like Google.
But first, what is your definition of Long-Term? If you had bought anywhere around the 2000 high in the stock market, you would still be waiting to get even after six years, and wouldn't mind waiting another seven years to make a profit if you are truly a "long-term" investor.
The "Buy-and-Hold" strategy really doesn't hold water if you consider it depends on when you "buy." You might go 25 years without a profit, if history is any guide. But if that is your deal, then go for it.
Otherwise, you have to consider that the Dow is again approaching that all-time historical high set in Jan 2000 at 11,721. Looks like a Double Top to me, but some people say we could double that again. Logically, this is one of the scariest markets I've ever seen in two decades of watching it; just pick something that is stable, anything. Doesn't exist, does it. Anything could send this market over the edge to the great void. But hey, it might double too, who knows.
For most people, the name of the game is capital preservation. You don't invest when the market gets too risky or too frothy or is nearing a market top or an old market top, or when the market is overpriced, or unstable, and all of these things are true today. There really is a time when cash is King. That 1.5% CD is going to look pretty good when everyone else is cryin' in their beer about losses. Or the market could just go sideways to work off the excesses, but either way, you're safe if you're out. Wanna throw the dice, go to Vegas.
If you wish to research the “Buy and Hold Strategy” further, or perhaps trade yourself, I recommend two book titles. One is called "Which Is Better, Buy-and-Hold or Market Timing?" The other is "Do You Have What It Takes to Be a Market Timer?" They will give you plenty to think about. |

There is not enough information to answer your question.
How long are you going to hold on to your stocks?
How much risk can you handle?
When you say best do you mean biggest profits or do you mean lowest risk or best risk/reward ratio or cheapest or what do you mean?
I can email you research reports of all 3 if you want.

Wow, this is a tough one. I was going to invest in Yahoo a few years back (early 2000) it dropped quite rapidly after a phenomonal rise actually. Google just went way up, I think it is due to fall. E Bay has had problems lately even though I really like E BAy. Right now I think Yahoo is the best, but I am not investing in them right now in any big way. |

I think Google is totally overvalued.
A P/E of 65 and a mkt cap of 110 billion is a bit unstable for a one-trick pony. Especially with the jittery markets at the moment. I wouldn't invest this month anyway.
Yahoo looks more attractive with a P/E of 25. And it's a dotcom that could, more than any other, take on Google for market share. Microsoft allegedly wanted to buy them, that's a good sign.
Ebay's growing money on trees with Paypal but so do Mastercard who are only looking for a $5.6 bn valuation. They also might have paid too much for Skype. I think I'll wait. |

Frank Is irght there is not enough information BUT let me tell you about your 3 stocks. Take it from some one who owns all 3 stocks. I have shorted Google over 4 times now making over $125k on it, it is by far on the most overpriced stocks on the market next to Hans that make monster energy drink. I have 10,000 shares of Ebay, It is down but it will recover within the next 6 months. Guaranteed and if not now then of course during christmas. Then there is Yahoo I love yahoo I currently have 15,000 shares of Yahoo which I bought at 30.50. VERY UNDERVALUED STOCK! IS ANYTHING GOOGLE AND YAHOO SHOULD SWITCH PRICES. Yahoo is the definite money maker. Within 6-12 months it will be in the 40s. I can almost guarantee that. |

google is over priced and is number one in their market share
Yahoo is number two in the same market as google but has been falling lately, if you believe they can rebound it will be a good buy
E-Bay is priced a little high and number one in their market share but have been falling, but so has most others in their market. Can they rebound?
And none offer dividends
nope I'd find something els for investing. |

Legendary investor Warren Buffet avoids stocks like these like the plague (and if he avoids a stock, it's usually as good a hint as any that you should too).
Looking at the data on Yahoo Finance:
GOOGLE (GOOG) - Trailing P/E = 64.83
Forward P/E = 29.17
EPS = 5.70
DIV/Yield = nil
Strong Buy = 12, Buy = 20, Hold = 6, Sell = 1, Strong Sell =0
I'd say could be worth a punt, since it's dropped back below $400 (Though for hope of any profit, it's probably only best off if bought via Sharebuilder.com).
YAHOO (YHOO) - Trailing P/E = 24.80
Forward P/E = 43.42
EPS = 1.24
Div/Yield = n/a
Strong Buy = 10, Buy = 19, Hold = 9, Sell = 1, Strong Sell=0
(I'd say was a possibly a leave it)
Ebay - Trailing P/E = 40.92
Forward P/E = 24.20
EPS = 0.76
Div/Yield = n/a
Strong Buy = 7, Buy = 8, Hold = 12, Sell =1, Strong Sell=1
(I'd say was gonna grind to a halt, or perhaps go backwards soon).
And as you can see.... none of these cough up any dividend payments for you to re-invest over the long term (Dividend = good... you earn a lot of this, and your portfolio virtually pays for it's self).
You'd probably be better off looking @
Anheuser-Busch (BUD)
Walmart (WMT)
Union Pacific (UNP)
Canadian Pacific (CP)
Toyota (TM) + Honda (HMC) |

probably google. They seem to be the honest one. Avoid investing in online travel agencies like EXPEDIA. They are having big problems with customers. Read this: http://www.victimsofexpedia.com |
