    Prudent advisors will or should tell you that you should have a 10 year or more time horizon when it comes to investing.

    If you are speculating, I know you want your returns by 5 minuets ago. It doesn't always happen this way as you know.

    Since you are looking for a 25% return, you are speculating on that growth of the investment well above the market averages or by historic averages. Yes, India has been strong as well has China, Russia and Brazil. Frankly, I can;t see how these economies can grow when the world's biggest consumer (The USA) heads further in recession.

    I have been periodically short the hot foreign markets based on this reason. Been right so far, knocking on wood :)

    Good Luck!

    I've been trading the market for just a few months. My cousin actually told me about this website ( http://pennystocks.toptips.org/ ) and I signed up immediately after. This is my honest review about their method. I'm not someone who has a lot of time to be researching for ideas because I work many hours. they made it incredibly easy for me to make money in the market. Their reports are easy to read and follow. I've tracked most of the stock ideas that I've received in my e-mail from them and MANY have seen some nice gains after their announcements. I've made a nice profit (55% return on my investment on one, and 112% on the other!) on a couple of suggestions he's given and plan to start trading his ideas a lot more.

    That is a completely naive question. Your stocks may fall, not rise! They may never be worth what you paid for them. the stock market is a gamble, and you only gamble money you can afford to lose.

    Daily monitor your stock, when you think it has risen enough, sell it. Find another that you believe will rise. It is no different to betting on horses.
