Answer 1

Try Exxon-Mobil, symbol XOM. It seems to rise about 20% a year (which is what you're asking), plus it pays a dividend. You don't even need a stock brokerage account, they have direct investment where you can buy the stock through them and not pay any fees when you buy. I think it's a minimal fee when you sell, too.

Answer 2

My 2 cents..

Advertising, marketing & green stocks.

1) Marketing & advertising companies are going to cash in for the 2008 Beijing Olympic games. Dominating search engines ( Yhoo, MSFT, Goog, Bidu). Marketing companies like Coke (KO) which Warren Buffet got rich from and still owns.

2) GE return 3% on dividends and BP looks promising and both companies help the environment.

Answer 3

Blue chip stocks rarely show that level of increase in value, and if your timing were absolutely perfect, you bought at a low and sold at a high, and DID make that kind of gain, there wouldn't be any way of predicting that ahead of time. If there were, many people would be vying to buy it at the same time you did, so the purchase price would be higher.

Answer 4

if you still confuse about which stock to invest, please invest your money in education first.
