This website is focused on presenting clusters of high gain stocks that can be held intermittently or over the long-term for substantial profit. Stocks of interest involve gold, uranium, shipping, oil, ETFs, ETNs, solar, wind, geothermal, China, and India. For example, one profitable ETN was the Powershares Double-Long Oil fund. The ticker symbol was DXO. I doubled my money in early 2009 during one trade of just two weeks. Although this ETN is no longer available, other exhange traded funds can be discovered in the future for short and long term gains.
I will be listing highly worthwhile stocks from time to time. Buying popular ETFs can be very profitable, and it avoids the problem that individual stocks have when their fundamentals surprisingly decline, and the stock price falls. Of course, many ETFs can fall also, but their success is tied more to a macro view of the world, and the exchange traded funds provide important diversification. You might want to consider a Dow stocks fund since the Dow 30 are viewed as the strongest group of stocks. DIA tries to track the Dow, and UDOW is a leveraged ETF that should only be bought near annual lows since you could lose a lot of money getting in at the top with UDOW.
Other great stocks to buy are listed on the Long Term page. As a disclaimer, results may vary, and they may even be negative at times although I am expecting positive results, and I have my own money invested in many of the stocks mentioned on this website. Please do your own research before buying anything.
Diversification
Everyone knows you should not have all of your eggs in one basket. The question then is how much diversification should you have? Eight stocks might be a reasonable answer but the portfolio should be skewed toward safe stocks in these uncertain times. I have started a sample model portfolio with $20,000 as a reasonable amount of money that a lot of investors would have available, and 40% of the money will go for two fairly stable funds as I have explained below.
The first stock to buy is a corporate bond fund that is currently yielding 7% each year. The ticker symbol is VWEHX. Vanguard manages the fund, and it is about as safe as a bond fund can be. 20% of your money should be invested here.
2nd--TZA is a leveraged stock that shorts the Russell 2000 small cap stocks. This should only be held for a short time. You could buy at $17 and sell anywhere between $18.50 and $21. If you can do this several times each year, you will make a good double-digit profit. When you are not holding the stock, hold the cash separate for the next buying opportunity.
3rd--PRPFX is called a Permanent Portfolio fund. As the name implies, it is fairly stable. It is comprised of bonds, precious metals, and some stocks. 20% of your money should be invested here.
4th--CVX, Chevron, is a major oil company that will rise as the price of oil increases. They also pay a 3% dividend. 10% of your money should be on Chevron.
5th--AMZN, Amazon, is the 800 pound gorilla in internet retail sales along with cloud computing. I can remember when Amazon was selling for $9 per share after the dot.com bust in 2000 and 2001. It is now selling for almost $200. This is a major multi-bagger stock that I missed. I could have made a fortune by owning it during the past ten years. 10% of your money should be on Amazon.
6th--AGQ, ProShares Ultra Silver. This is a volatile stock that is worth owning if you stick to chart buying and selling. You will have to determine your own entry and exit points. Barchart.com has an excellent Futures Performance page that can help you decide on when to own a silver stock. If silver is going negative in futures contracts, don't own AGQ during that time. 10% of your money should be invested here or held in cash.
7th--GOOG, Google, is the leading internet ad company along with getting involved in other business operations. You could have bought stock in the company for $100 in 2004, and shares were selling for almost $600 each on January 20, 2012. 10% of your money should be on Google.
8th--If you want a super dividend while interest rates are low, you should buy American Capital Agency (AGNC). It is a real estate investment trust. They are paying a dependable 19% dividend. The last 10% of your money should be on AGNC.

A lot more stock market information is listed on various pages of TopBookReviews.com. For example, high dividend stocks are listed with company links on the long-term stocks page.
The New York Stock Exchange Summation Index is a great way to tell whether or not it is safe to be in the stock market. If the chart is going up, most stocks will be rising. The best stocks will be gaining more, though, like the stocks mentioned on this website.
