There are big things happening in the world right now.... Countries like, China are realizing a building boom and there are others doing the same. The results of this expansion, puts a huge demand on precious metals..... Metals like, gold, copper, silver, tungsten, and the list goes on and on. Small upstart mining companies that have shares that can be purchased for often under .25 cents can be excellent investments. Do a research the the properties they own, how many shares they have outstanding, how good the management is and how much debt they have... If they have properties with good potential, sound management, not too many shares out there, and exploration money in the bank, then I think there is a good possibility that they can be successful. Almost daily now, I see stocks that double on good drilling results.. So that is my pick...Invest in natural resources..In particular mining companies with stock prices under .50 cents or so...There is less downside that way....

I think it is good to research but at the same time I still want solid investments. I would not be the type of person to speculate on stocks. I would go with blue chip, in fact in canada the government is advising the baby boomer generation (mine) to go with blue chip.

The focus here is long term investment, but it seems that 95% of individual investors are short sighted, people tend to realize quickly but do not want to loss, that mean when stock price goes up by e.g 50 %,the ywill sell it, but they will not sell it if the stock price dropped by 50%, they hope the price will rise somedays later. Just like what you say in nother discussion topics about your own experience, i think you are better than many other investors because you can still gain $ ,as an individual investors ,itis really hard to gain $ with limited capital, but the problem is outsiders will not have informtion as insiders, the latter know the price will rise even more but you already sold your stock. SO what informations outsiders do not know? May be they will know some, but timing is important, insiders know some important messages before the announcement of them, so they gain full advantages, to some extent, i suspect whether insider trading does exist in every market. In talking about the mining stocks, if the mrket is doing well, of course those good mining companies can outperform the market, if bear market arrives, they may not be able to resist the price drop which goes hand in hand with the market. Important thing again here is in long term, those companies will be priced correctly and rise to its 'true 'value after bear market,so if you can bear the drop in short term, you still get good chance to earn money in long term.
