Personally, when I invest in a share I look for the following criteria.
1) Value of Share (How cheap the share is, the cheaper the share is the more likelihood of getting a better return if it performs) Say I invested in a share that cost me $1.00 and it goes to $2.00, I have already made 100% excl the brokerage.
2) Growth Potential (Planned assault, Future or proposed aquisitions, store roll-outs etc.)
3) Environmental Impact Factors (E.g. Drought, Competition, Government Law)
4) Signs of Boom and what would be the knock on effects (Where is the company located, where are its businesses)
(E.g. Economic booms - resulting in housing booms etc.)
Is the company making the most of these opportunities? How will these booms reflect on industry?
5) Risk - How risky is the share, is the company reputable, is it heading in the right direction. Would you personally buy from the company, is its brand getting throught to people?

Just pick up a copy of the Dec 31, 2007 issue of the Wall St Journal and look for the biggest winner of the year.

Although I wish I had the crystal ball for that, I'd recommend looking at industries you feel will do well for that year. Then use the Yahoo chart to compare your choices with the Dow, S&P, etc. to see how it has done over the last five years. Here's a stock you might want to consider in the gambling industry: SHFL. Go ahead and compare it to the major indexes for the last five years.

CSNBC Money (this morning's show) really liked Wachovia's stock but diversification is always the best plan.
