You're probably thinking more long term than our virtual stock game. What about doing a little research on rail companies. They have worked for Warren B in the last few years and as oil prices keep rising these stocks keep looking better.
I buy very few individual stocks since i get a 15% discount with my company. Having said that, when I do buy stocks I think about the next few years.
What will gas prices be? Are Americans really going to drive smaller cars?
What technology is going to be a "must have" in the next few years. A good example of this is Garmin. 10 years ago I experienced GPS in a Lexus LS400 and though that it was going to be huge someday. 10 years later, prices have fallen and everyone seems to have one. An example of this not working is SIRI and XMSR. I thought it would be a must have in all cars and it has become popular but they've never made money and the stock did nothing.
How will the housing market be? Will people be staying put in their houses and just fixing them up? Maybe Lowes or HD would be a good buy.
