Obviously there is no way to know the best...but any insights regarding sector/industry or tips would be helpful.

Allow me to give a contraian view. Energy costs are high, health care cost are high, the budget deficit is high, balance of trade deficit is high, unfunded liabilities are high, there is a zero saving rate, interest rates are rising, there are hundreds of thousands of people who have adjustable rate mortgages who bought houses they really could not afford.
Does that sound like a good investment climate to you?
T-bills and oil stocks are the safest bets. For the more venturesome Oct 36 put options on qqqq. Potential for large roi on those.

Dell is NOT the best option because computer and technology companies are constantly havong to upgrade their products and constantly competing with each other. Plus 2 of the large comp companies had just merged leaving dell at a disadvatge.
to tell you the truth, if there was a best stock to invest in, everyone would be investing it.
Some good stocks right now are Hansen ( theor energy drink line is expanding and surpasses Coca Colas annual earnings), and if you want stocks that are stable and give you a stable return you should go for electric co.s and water co.s like utility.
There are also cyclical stocks, stocks that do better in certain seasons. Like NOrdstroms ususally make good profits year round but around Xmas and season switches (summer to fall) it makes extremly high profits. This happens with most clothing cos.
Another cyclical are like coffee places. Starbucks makes good profits in summer and winter which means higher stock prices and profits.
Good luck, hope i helped

I think its about time for tech stocks to come back. I like Microsoft and Dell, if for no other reason than they have been beaten down and have good cash flow. I like the health sector too. Especially home health and long term care. I would stay away from energy. I think that sector is about ready to crash.

If we knew the BEST we wouldn't be answering your questions right now, we would be relaxing on a beach.
Perhaps if you asked what is the best industry I'd have a different answer for you.
