I'm sure its been debated in here already, I'm not slogging through to find it. Look at companies that are dealing in energy. My own employer has gone from low teens ($12-$14) to mid 20's this year. I bought in three years ago at 12.75 when we went public, waited till it dropped to 8 during the "crash" bought a bunch more and have basically sat on it. Elementary actions at best, but still making money.
