Top Investments and Stock Picks for 2006

If you read the newspaper headlines today you will hear everything from recession, decline, slow start, etc... Everyone is commenting on losings or very edge gains. Yet there are some investors like me that did really well in the last few old age and are continuing to make well - and none of us drop for the late nighttime television investment cozenages (and they are ALL scams). Instead we were smart. This is how we did it and what we like (and you can verify the consequences or advancement of these pillory by looking up their heart symbols on the search engines Google and Yahoo):

1) Diversification is cardinal - you need to have got some percentage of your assets in common finances and exchange traded finances (ETF's). I urge IJR (iShares S&P SmallCap 600 IJR Style/Mkt Cap ETF) as it follows the market, doesnt have got wild fluctuations and always, consistently turns and pays dividends at the same time. IJR will be a great stake for a 20-30% addition in 2006.

2) Oil, natural gas and energy are male monarch and anyone that states otherwise is an idiot. They will go on to turn and bring forth record net income throughout 2006. I highly urge XTO - Cross Timbers Oil Co. Through the last 3 old age their stock have grown over 800% and split numerous times. They are a definite one in the hole and a runaway favorite. Great, solid management and a definite winner. I also like PNY, Piedmont Natural Gas. They are very consistent and bring forth very solid outputs that they are always increasing. It won't bring forth the high tax returns of XTO, but a solid performer. XTO can be a highly volatile stock and is a rollercoaster of a drive at modern times but will bring forth solid consequences over time. PNY is a safe, solid investing and natural gas terms are only going to travel up.

3) Hotels and travel - One name states it all CHH - Choice Hotels, they have most of your local Comfort hostels and such. They average 50-60% additions per twelvemonth and pay a flimsy dividend on top of that. A solid performing artist that be givens to buck the economy.

4) Banks and financial establishments - BPOP, Popular Inc. The chief Spanish American bank of Puerto Anti-Racketeering Law and expanding into the U.S. You can purchase it cheap right now and they are premier for a coup d'etat - $$$. Solid dividends also and low terms for a bank. Good investing value.

5) Mortgage companies - we will always need houses and a solid, client service oriented company with a great record is a good buy. AHM (American Home Mortgage)- high yield, solid company, will bring forth great tax returns for 2006. Enough said.

6) Ebay, Yahoo, Google, Intel - You need to have got a piece of the internet pie, but with whom? Ebay is your best bet. There is no competition - Yokel tried and can't get their auction bridges off the ground. The others have got simple engineering that is easily copied and the hazard is great and the tax returns limited. Google is questionable as it have risen well, but others with large pockets are stepping in hard - Yokel and MSN.

Search engines like Google rise fast out of nowhere, but then they usually fall back into oblivion. Google is smart, though and is trying to diversify into other Fields - maps, online libraries, gmail, etc... so they will stay, but I would travel for Ebay. Ebay is trying to make what Walmart did - Expand into China, Japan, Korea, etc... With millions of new clients and no competition the skys the limit. Ebay will be rock solid for 2006.

There you have got it. A safe, diversified grouping of true, proved performing artists that volition warrant you a great 2006. Also, they are all available through low cost trading companies - I urge Sharebuilder.com - you can't beat out $4 trades and their easy to utilize site. There is no need for a commissioned investing advisor (all they make is charge you extra money and fees, lie, and they can't possibly even come up close to the workhorses I listed above). Bash yourself a favour and black and white this out. If you care about your friends give it to them. Put it in your electronic mail lists. If you believe in helping others and making the human race a better topographic point then go through it on to everyone you can. These pillory will supply you and everyone else with solid additions for years. And a greater opportunity at financial freedom and the best thing is it didn't cost you a penny.
