If you are asking that question in this forum, you are obviously a naive investor. You should avoid buying individual stocks and put your money in a no-load mutual fund.

The fact is that if anyone knew of a stock that would get instant results, they would buy it & that would bid up the price, making it less likely to be undervalued for later investors.

Academic studies show that new information gets imbedded in prices almost immediately. This means that if someone tells you here that there is good news for a company, then that good news is already priced in.

The only way to beat the market on a regular basis is to have private information. There are three ways to get private information. One is to have insider information (which is usually illegal to use in trading). One way is to pay for it -- taking away the advantage. The third way is to gather up all public information on your own & glean information from it -- leading you to realize the private information that causes the public information. In other words -- use fundamental analysis. Since there are other people doing this analysis on big firms -- the payoff isn't going to be high, since they will probably get the information before you.

All of this means that profits can be made in smaller firms where no analyst is covering the company. You can be the first to learn what the public information means. Unfortunately, doing this involves a skill and knowledge that most people don't possess. And it is certainly a knowledge that you aren't going to learn asking here.

No load mutual funds are your best bet.

Throw darts at the NYSE stock listing. You will have about as much luck as asking it here.

The fact of the matter is nobody, not even the so called experts on TV, knows which stocks are about to take off. Or when they will take off.

It doesn't sound sexy, but if you want to invest in the stock market, you should expect long term gains (5, 10, 20 years). You can make a lot of money for retirement, but you really cannot make a quick buck in the stock market.

You can never be sure about future results in the stock market. One stock I really like though is Tower Tech, TWRT.ob. They make wind tower support structures. Here is a link about the company:

The company's business is growing along with the wind energy sector.

Any stock you buy right now will give you instant results.

They may not be the results you want though, usually you have to wait a year to get a good result.

What are you.... NUTS? You're asking strangers with no way of knowing their qualifications or motives a question that directly effects your monetary health!

I'm not trying to be cruel...... just making a point as loud as I can..... DON'T TAKE ADVICE FROM STRANGERS. DON'T TAKE "TIPS" FROM ANYONE.

Also: There is no such thing as the best stock to own. If we knew that.... people would only be buying that stock.

Read as much as you can. Always think about what you're doing... before you do it........................ Never invest in anything you don't understand. Don't be greedy..... Bulls make money. Bears make money... Pigs get slaughtered.

Sorry, your not going to get an answer. NO one knows that answer because if they did they'd be rich and also mobbed by people like you who what to know the next sure bet. There are NO guarantees in any investment tool, stocks, bonds, mutual finds etc.
