My objective is high growth so I’m willing to take higher than average risk but not ridiculous risk. Liquidity is key so I will not do Private Placements and I avoid the volatility of thinly traded Penny Stocks. I am a seasoned finance expert with a master’s in finance and a broker’s license I’ve not utilized in years and have merely been out of the market for a while. So this is really a call for much more of an update on what’s hot out there now as I definitely intend to do my research. Yahoo! Answers can be one source for research information in that we may have a few experts capable of extending some great advice, or individual investors with some suggestions on what’s been working for them in this present monetary environment.
I’ve held diversified portfolios of stocks exactly where some of my winners hit doubles or triples. You cannot count on that happening each and every time but boy, do you keep in mind when your picks did. Looking for a double correct now if you know of any candidates. Will trade on margin
You know, you ask a serious and valid question here on Yahoo! Answers and why do some responders instantly feel this is an invitation to attempt to invalidate the Asker’s question with some “topper” they believe they can make, noting the globe is coming to an end (so they say) by global warming, so do not even believe about some thing as silly as investing in anything as doomed as globe monetary markets simply because you require to be burrowing like a mole and hiding from the impending Hell that is lurking.
Please, for those with rational advice versus the Chicken Littles of the globe who want to proclaim “The SKY is falling!”, I would appreciate a serious response.

forget all about current economies, bonds so on. most of the world economy will corrupt in a while cause of global warming anyway. get yourself a nice plot next to a water resource like river, better if you get close to the source.

I would not completely discount the advice given by your 1st responder, although I believe there are other more pressing problems that might effect the market. T-bills have done very well relative to the alternatives as have investments in foreign sovern debt. Chinese and Indian markets have been outperforming the U S markets for about 3 years, maybe more. Risk takers are currently recommending financial stocks. I guess that is why they are called risk takers.

Try overseas investments. You will get the maximum returns.
My low risk investment had a return that averaged 40% per year.
A very serious response.

Jim Rogers likes China and commodities.
i went to his presentation at the Asia Society last night here in NYC in conjunction with his new book “A Bull in China”, and i thought he made a convincing case…

Well in my opinion U should go for good IPO’s because the manipulations are less as compare to already existing companies.

Well, seeing as you know what you’re doing, just need a ” catch-up”…I’ll offer these items for your consideration:
A couple or three well managed mutual funds can be the basis of the portfolio…and presently, ” international” or ” emerging markets” are great in that category. I use FEMKX and FGBLX… and for just an aggressively managed all around fund, look into CGMFX… the manager uses the fund almost like ” hedge fund” managers…
In individual stocks you either go with the stalwarts like MO or look a little more at ” what’s hot”… for awhile ( because of China’s and India’s growth ) that has been metals and miners, and the ” shippers” that deliver those goods and leave with their exports.
Another group that is on the verge is ” telecom”…especially wireless communications…those growing countries are putting up towers, etc. rather than going with the old stringing thousands of miles of hard lines. And everyone almost evertwhere is in on the wireless gizmo and gadget buying spree.
Energy and ” alternative energy” are sound investments…everyone’s using more…and there are more and more people relying on those things. In the past few weeks, alone, any stock with China and/or solar in the name has gone up 20%…
So, let me just add..you mentioned ” doubles” …yeah! few and far between, but I’ve had these…in the areas I’ve mentioned : PCU, FCX, VMW, TBSI , MELI ( some outright doubles …some doubled in a trading mode ie: TBSI three time this year has gone from the low 30′s to high 50′s)
