    With only about 10 percent of China's population on line. I would think the Chinese Internet search engine------BAIDU--- would be a good risk for an investment.

    Wal-mart and McDonald's. They are forever. If there was a nuclear war all that would be left is rats, roaches, McDonalds and Wal-Mart. lol

    Absolutely none. The more I see, the more I'm convinced that half of the investments out there are toxic. Madoff wasn't the only one in on that scheme

    I would invest in every stock or, more precisely, I would invest in mutual funds that invest in the total stock market.

    Over the long term, the total stock market averages about 11% annual growth. Individual stocks, in contrast, tend to be much more volatile.

    Here's a short simple investment book that discusses why this tends to be a winning strategy (and one use by huge investors, like public employee retirement plans)

    If you don't know anything about investing, you might want to start with a portfolio of stocks that mimic the Dow Jones Industrial Average (see list below). Those stocks are well established companies. They individually have their ups and downs, but over time a portfolio of these stocks has consistently risen. You can get a Standard and Poor's (S&P) report at your local library which will tell you historical performance and dividend information.

    Stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Index:
    AA Alcoa Inc.
    AXP American Express Company
    BA Boeing Company
    C Citigroup Inc.
    CAT Caterpillar Inc.
    DD E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
    DIS Walt Disney Company
    EK Eastman Kodak Company
    GE General Electric Company
    GM General Motors Corporation
    HD Home Depot, Inc.
    HON Honeywell International Inc.
    HPQ Hewlett-Packard Company
    IBM International Business Machines Corporation
    INTC Intel Corporation
    IP International Paper Company
    JNJ Johnson & Johnson
    JPM J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
    KO Coca-Cola Company
    MCD McDonald's Corporation
    MMM 3M Company
    MO Altria Group, Inc.
    MRK Merck & Co., Inc.
    MSFT Microsoft Corporation
    PG Procter & Gamble Company

    Or, start researching companies that you like to do business with. I've done well with:
    AEP (American Electric Power)
    DIS (Disney)
    MCD (McDonald's)

    If allowed, you might also check out mutual funds, which combine many stocks into a portfolio based on investment risk and sector or geographical interest. You buy a share of the total portfolio mix.

    An absolute mania for stocks trading on exchanges in mainland China and Hong Kong has taken hold. Indexes that track those markets have rocketed more than 170% and 36% respectively this year through the end of the third quarter. That makes the Standard & Poor's 500 7.7% gain look paltry.

    And enthusiasm for shares of Chinese stocks is spreading to the USA. Shares of Chinese stocks listed on U.S. exchanges have exploded. Shares of the 37 Chinese companies listed on U.S. exchanges have gained more than 70% through the end of the third quarter, says S&P's Capital IQ. You can read more about this development here.

    But as that story points out, now may not be the best time to pile into the Chinese rally. Valuations on Chinese stocks have already soared and are exceeding historical norms. Even a minor setback for the Chinese market could turn into a major correction. If you don't own Chinese stocks, don't feel like you're missing out. Most of the large companies in the S&P 500 have significant business activities in China. So by owning the S&P 500, you have a piece of the China action.

    NSU is a small cap gold company trading at a market cap of less than $55 million. It has received a lot of attention in the past and has now pulled back. We believe gold stocks will continue to shine now that gold prices are back in an uptrend. Small cap gold stocks could provide the biggest gains for investors in the gold mining sector.

    NSU is trading significantly off of its highs of $2.50+ from earlier this year and off its short-term high of $0.74 in a recent uptrend. Gold moved off its sideways pattern and reached a high above $820 and has now corrected down to around $780 where it has begun to stabilize. We expect gold prices to move back above $800 and challenge $900 in the short-term and in the long-term we believe we will see gold up over $1,000 per ounce as inflation attracts investors to gold mining stocks.
