High yield stocks invested in solid companies are your best bet right now.

Better yet, high yield stocks in solid commodities producing
companies. I call them companies with money in the ground, or
sometimes money in the pipeline.

My best stock is COBR (Cobra, the RADAR detector company)

My thinking wrong but it worked out anyway. I really thought Obama
would try to reinstate the double nickel. It didn't happen but the
stock went up anyway. My 90 cent stock is tickling $4
My problem is, I didn't buy 20,000 shares.
$900 seemed like a reasonable gamble on a penny stock tho.
There may still be some legs but I have it on a hair trigger. Another
day like today and it might trade.

Take a look at this one:
