In your opinion, what are the safest/best stocks to invest in right now?

Question

Shares that are going for cheap right now and are bound to raise later down the road. Thanks a million!!

Answer 1

ENGlobal (ENG)- engineering firm

Pro-Travel Network (PTVL.OB)

Answer 2

Go with the cheap blue chips that are in good financial shape and have solid dividend payouts.

Some examples: GE, PFE, BMY, KO, KFT etc..

Answer 3

This is a tough question because they are so many good buys on the market right now. Rather than give you a stock , let me recommend a great site for you to get consensus on what others think about performance and quite frankly they are usually correct. The site is http://caps.fool.com/.  I'm sure you will find this extremely helpful. Best of luck.  

Answer 4

If you want stable company with good balance sheet and with good fundamentals, I will choose General Electrics. It is cheap and it is poised to grow in the near future.  

Answer 5

Shares in what? Even the high flying fertilizer stocks are breaking down.

Financial stocks? I'm not convinced since all the banks who have come to confession (reported earnings) have said there is still more (write downs to go).

There are no such thing as "safe" stocks.

"Best" stocks are only deemed "best" using hen sight and if you made money in them.

Nothing is guaranteed or bound to go higher. Companies that are in deep financial trouble tend to stay in trouble.

What you want to look at are companies that have little to no debt, are not in the bad space list (commodities, anything financial related, anything real estate related, anything auto related, etc.)

Maybe defensive names such as PG, G, KO, but I have not look at their charts lately, so do some homework before you consider buying anything.

Good Luck!
