what is the best stock to buy now?

Answer 1

Consider CHK, Chesapeake Energy. It is on the S&P500, has 5 stars (strong buy recommendation), has above average return on equity, had some positive insider activity (top brass are buying their own, even more than they are exercising options, as in they are paying retail for a stock, not just getting it on the cheap), it has a lower P/E and forward P/E, and PEG than most of its peers (industy and S&P500), a 28 percent earnings growth over the past 5 years and something just under 80 percent earnings growth last year. Maybe it is worth a look.

If dividends are your bag, consider TMA (Thornburg Mortgage)--they've weathered the mortgage bomb and have been advancing, so if you get it now, and they keep up their dividend, you'll get a yield slightly above 10 percent. One of its officers recently bought above 3k shares in the post-dividend ex-date price depression.

Answer 2

Look hard at Vanguard Energy Fund.
It is for the long run but every time the price of gas goes up, so does the fund.

Answer 3

XOM. almost 20% return since i invested some $$$ in last aug.

Answer 4

Either gold or AT&T.

With gold you can never go wrong because its value is always increasing.

We got into At&t in October 2006 at $27.00 a share. Now, in less than a year, it is already around $40.00 a share.
