If you could afford to invest in the stock of just one company...

Either Home Depot or Lowes. Whether it's construction season or we're doin' it ourselves, whether we're fixin it up or fixin it cuz it's broke, we need to get the materials from somewhere! Home depot has had a nice history of stock splits before, but I think that had slowed recently. But, they are expanding to china now, so I think it's looking up. Aloha!

fidelity mutual funds they have shown good growth in past.

I would invest in Infosys Technologies or Tata Consultancy Services(TCS). Both the large cap NIFTY stocks have consistently provided returns and will do so in the future. So I would defenitely prefer one among them. I already TCS in my personal kitty. I am a regular investor and I use to trade in equities and derivatives (Futures and Options).

I think if I could invest in any company I would invest in Hanes. Because everyone needs underpants and socks. They also have t-shirts and stuff like that.

I have investments in a few companies but think the one I would want more stock in is Avion Group as they have a great potential in the airline industry and they have been making some interesting and promising investments.

Something simple, and that will NEVER go away. I have a friend who bought stock in oatmeal for his kids, and they had tons when they graduated. Cereal is always comming out with new stuff, maybe kleenex will keep adding stuff.
