Where can I find these companies and how should I go about investing with them?  ( Are there any particular investing strategies that would be effective?)

I found purplematrix.biz to be the best investment site. With only $100 invested, I was able to make a profit of $1000-$3000 each time. You can call David Fiarman at 973.668.7119. He will be glad to show you how to profit from the stock market

Unfortunately, I'll probably dealing primarily with stocks listed on American exchanges, I'll see if I can come up with a Toronto one.\n\nAltria (nee Phillip-Morris, MO) is a great stock to get because it's a solid tobacco company with some great brands (Marlboro) and they're just entering the smokeless tobacco market, which could be a huge payoff.  Also, this "light cigarette" class action hit the stock too much and I expect to see MO gap up in the future.  And they pay a 4.20% dividend.  It's hard not to like it.\n\nFor alcohol, the market seems to be going into liquor as opposed to beer these days, especially among the younger crowd (who tends to drink more).  This isn't strictly empirical, but I think going into a liquor company is a better bet.  For that, DEO is your best bet.  They have a great stock of brands (Morgan, J&B, Cuervo, Tanqueray) and are have some beer and wine brands (but their strength is far and away their liquor).  It's relatively cheap at 19.51 P/E and has a 3.90% dividend also.\n\nI don't know too much about weapons, but if you're into military stuff, Halliburton and even Boeing are sound investments.  Handguns, Smith and Wesson (SWHC) is the only one that comes to mind it's forward P/E seems a little high at 27.56 for manufactured goods in what seems to me a tight market, but there's not much industry data to go on (not very many handgun companies).  They're trading on the upper end of their 200dma so this stock could move upwards (and it's been trending up all year).  Analysts are bullish, so I'd say it's worth watching.\n\nFor gambling, you need to go where the money is, and that means what's hot.  No casino's hotter than Sands (LVS) which has exploded over the past year, but I'm worried that the money might have been made there.  It's the best casino stock out there, but it's the most expensive.  Casinos are still a good investment, but I'm thinking with concerns over the Democrats taking over (and the economic / legislative ramifications) you might want to go a little cheaper.  Harrah's (HET) is another good casino stock that's not so pricey as Sands.\n\nAs far as sex stuff, it's pretty hard for me to come up with a recommendation.  I'm sort of cold on the industry because a lot of it is privately held, and the public issues don't get coverage.  If somebody can come up with a good investment, I'd love to hear it, though.\n\nHowever, I'd be interested to know why you're interested in sin stocks.  As I touched on earlier, some people think a Democratic congress could hurt some of these companies (especially tobacco).  Maybe you're thinking these were irrationally factored into the price and that these stocks could jump up after the election?\n\nEdit:  Full disclosure.  The only stock listed that I own is MO.

You may want to take a class on investing at a college.\nNot one of those fly by night things.\n\nAny ways you can buy stock directly from a company on a dividend reinvestment plan.

There are sites such as sharebuilder.com that have very low commissions but they execute your order in a non-timely fashion.  It's a decent way to get started investing.

I subscribe to one of their investment letters.  I just started about 4 months ago.  I did buy one of their recommendations.  Netflix.  It has done well. Up about 8 points. Not all of their recommendatios have done so well however.  For example they are very hot on Yahoo.  Maybe given enough time.  It is a good source of information on companies that are hopefully up and comers so to speak.  They have a ream of different investment letters so I somewhat wonder how much research actually goes into one.

Yes, I've heard of them. They appear solid.\nAny company that managed to exist for 25 years has to know what they're doing.  BTW, check out http://ibooyah.com for investment ideas.

No offense to the person whom answered previously regarding not investing in single stocks but investing in money markets and mutual funds but this information is seriously flawed.\nIf you are investing in steel, you are likely aware of the significant problems this industry has faced over the last several years.  Given this and the current economic cycle, steel could again face problems.  For this reason, if you are investing in individual sectors, you might want to consider buying a basket of stocks.  STQ is a good example - Phily exchange 15 stocks.\nIf you have a balanced portfolio, individual stocks is NOT like gambling.  Gambling is statistically a neutral event, yet returns for equity markets (individual stocks) are skewed to the right and thus have a positive return.  Investing in individual stocks, after doing homework, can lead to a strong portfolio if you are good at selecting investments.  But this is not for everyone and using a broker to "help" is not a good guarantee.  Start first with what you know, understand the financials, listen to company conference calls, and talk with the investor relations people.\nNow regarding levels, backstops, et al...\nI would suggest using Bigcharts.com.  Read a few books on charting -- it does have some validity to the subject but weigh the charts with the backdrop of the current economic conditions. For example, this explains the recent sell-off.  Ask yourself, what is the short interest in these stocks!  Use differant methods can often yld differant results with technicals (as can fundamentals).  But you have to do the work here.\nFor starters: drawing a line at the ~340 would provide a support resistance line that has been tested a few times.  Recently this was tested and held.   However, be aware that it did break a major uptrend that began in ~10/05 and continues to be declining.  IMHO, the 340 is likely to be a significant lvl.\nAs to the last point of the other person's comment.  Sorry to say, but Money Markets are not alternative investments to stocks.  Stocks are long-term while Money markets are short-term.

I would suggest you open an account with an online broker like Ameritrade or Scottrade.  I suggest you go to your local library and see if they have the Value Line Investment Survey.  If they do, an new issue comes out weekly.  Value Line rates stocks based on timeliness (what are they expected to do over the next year), safety (the level of risk for the stock) and technical.  I use it to do my own research on stocks.  \n\nI found that I had to be an investor rather than a trader.  The difference to me is that I don't have the nerve to day trade.   By investing I don't get so caught up in the day to day of the market and I focus on the companies that I have stock in or am thinking about buying.\n\nIt works for me

Find safe investments through a reputable investment firm.  That way you'll make some money but you won't lose it.  If it's for college you probably want to hang on to at least what you have.

Try http://www.etrade.com\n\nSimply put: you buy a part of the company looking to profit either in the long (investment) or short term (a short term trade).

Dude, you need to check out what is called an indexed mutual fund. The way it works is the company guarantees your full invested capital; so you can't lose that. The money that they make is added to the value of your fund, but you have to lock it in for a minimum amount of time; can be as long as ten years. This is a good place to start out. If your feeling more daring invest in silver or mining companies like Pan American Silver trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PAA. This baby is on rails right now, you can check them out on their web site and research their history. Hey your the blunt guy aren't you? Well good luck towards your first million and keep living the American dream.

Just buy the same amount of money in each company.\n\nBy the way a portfolio of 4 stocks with 50% in Computer Hardware and 50% in Cars is very risky.
