If its stocks your looking for you need to be diverse. Its always good to invest in gold or silver as they are good investments. But my way is to wtch the unemployment numbers. I alwys found when its higher my investments in liquor accounts climb higher. To date some of my best stocks have been waste companies. I only invest in companies that have recycle stations, hauling companies and thier own landfills. No matter how bad it gets the trash always has to be hauled sorted and diposed of.
