I like investing in energy, particularly wind energy and biofuels. I like Florida Power & Light (FPL) and Chesapeake Energy (CHK). I also like Nabors Drilling (NBR). I like Bolt Technology (BTJ), and Mitcham Industries (MIND).

Investing in Stocks is best done via a proper mix of Index Mutual Funds. Read about things likeMarkowitz Efficient Frontier, Fama French, Efficient Market Theory, and then develop an Asset Allocation plan. This provides exposure to lots of stocks (and bonds) and will provide the best risk/return. Do not invest in individual stocks. |

I totally agree with CommonSense, I don't think u are ready to do any investing at all.
From your question, I sense that u are a risk taker. But then again please define you meaning in the word "best".
Is best = gaining a lot in a short time?
or is it best = seeking long term steady growth?
If u want the "gaining a lot in a short time" then ask yourself are u sure? Are u ready to loose a lot in a short time too?
Just answer to yourself. The answers from the yahoo members, do they enlight you or even confuse you more since they answered with common term and knowledge in investing such as ETF, TBills, Bonds, Mutual Fund, yield, etc.
If they confuse u more then u are definately not ready to invest. I suggest you should seek lots of more info first.
Remember that high gain high risk. |

depends on your investment objectives. if u're looking 4 dividends, go w/long standing blue chips like the oil/gas (CVX,XOM -just reported another record breaking quarter) or consumer (PG, AVP). REITs arent a dead horse, divs r still good. don't rule out a small amount of bond funds or mutuals in your portfolio...diversification is still the best rule of thumb. check out Jim Cramer's mad money 4 occassional stock tips. the above mentioned r in my portfolio. AMD doesnt pay divs but its been good under 25, sell @ 28 or so. check the technicals & fundamentals, pay attention 2 financials. do your homework if u dont wanna hire a broker. anything riskier, make sure u can ride the waves w/o worrying about losing your lunch. |

The snippy answer is: All the stocks *other* people invest in.
If you have time, you can investigate individual stocks. Most people don't have time and pick mutual funds instead.
If you don't need the money for 5 or more years, I suggest an S&P index fund.

According to efficient market theory, you should be able to pick the best ones using a dart. However, I do not subscribe to that theory. There are just too many examples where it has failed.
Top 5 based on past performace were the following for me.

CHL
IIF
DVN

You will note that 4 out of 5 are foreign companies or investments. There may be a lesson there. |

You've got to be totally new to the stock market to look for advice on this forum. This is not a smart way to go. You don't even say what sector, or whether you have a "Growth" or "Value" need, domestic or international, large, mid or small cap. Do you want an ETF, non dividend paying stock or with dividends. Where does this fit in your "asset allocation"?
Are you an investor or a gambler? |

Check out Forbes annual survey of mutual funds, by now found in library. Stay with a mutual fund untill you've read a great deal including high flyers, steady slower growth such as a Johnson&Johnson, and your tolerence for risk.
After accumulating knowledge on the market you may want to read Value Line at local library. |
