NVIDIA was a clear winner in 2005 thanks to their 7800 product line up. Any ideas for 2006?

Chicken stock is more versatile, but I think beef stock is still the clear winner overall.

Uh, NVDA isn't anywhere near a "top" stock.

Yeh, it doubled in price, but it didn't even go up $20 a share. There are far, far better performing ones out there. Apple and Google in the "tech" industry. And then pretty much the entire oil & gas industry was bull bull bull for the last 12 months completely overshadowing anything that NVDA has done.

NVDA nowhere near VLO. There definitely some other good stocks out there that yield way more than NVDA.

My 2006 outlook would be still on energy. The global demand for energy increase, but our capacity to refine oil stay the same. (more demand, less supply).

Natural Gas and other oil exploration companies might be good choice.

Some natural gas companies:
BR- being acquire by ConocoPhilips (COP)
APC
ECA

Some other oil companies:
VLO
SLB

Related business:
GRP
CHK

Anyway, I'm not recommending those stocks to anyone. Like Jim Cramer said "do your own homework"

If you are lazy and just want to invest in the "stock market" as a whole for the long run. Just buy SPY which tracks the S&P 500. The market annualize 10% return in the long run (in short term there can be some really tough correction to live through).

Real estate is definitely cooling. Stay off stocks like TOL, BZH...

A low-cost Index Mutual Fund. (S&P 500 or Wilshire 5000 are good choices)

Not as glorious or instantly-gratifying as individual stocks, but is a strong grower and saves a lot of costs and fees.

We'll know at the end of 2006.
Nobody knows what's going to happen in the future.

Everyone has expectations and suspicions, but nobody really knows.
