I am a great believer in stock holders diversification. This should be a matter of holding different sectors as well as different stocks also. In the tech crash of 2000, I got burned big time by owning just tech stocks. Since I had worked in the technical field all of my life, I never thought tech stocks could go down for any length of time. Having learned my lesson, I now own REITs, gold companies, oil stocks, solar stocks, and a homebuilder.
Some of the stocks I currently own are listed on the right hand side along with links for more information about them. American Capital and Annaly Capital are two outstanding REITs which gave out 2009 dividends of 21% and 17% respectively.
El Dorado gold is another company that I own. I doubled my money in 2009, and I believe the stock can still go a lot higher. They bought out Sino Gold in 2009 and gained millions of ounces of low cost gold in China.
Precision Drilling is a large oil driller that is operating in the Bakken oil region of North Dakota. Billions of barrels of oil are expected to be drawn from the North Dakota oil fields.
TAN is an ETF diversified play in the top solar stocks. Buying this ETF will give you a part in FSLR, SCTY, YGE, and other solar stocks.
Finally, Beazer Homes is an excellent homebuilder to own for our eventual economic recovery. It was selling for less than a dollar per share in 2009, and the price was over two dollars per share in December of 2011.
