  • Why choose 1?

    At times like this, choosing any single company is more risk that anyone really should take on. Get a tech sector ETF and call it a day.

    That being said, I'd look at Amazon. With the holidays coming and people having less money, I would imagine there is some deal searching in the wings.

  • A bank.

    Considering the way things are going, I'd say a bank. FDIC insured. Betting on the stock market is not a good idea at the moment.

    Canadian Banks. World Economic Forum just gave the
    Canadian Banking system a 6.8 out of 7. This makes
    Canada the strongest banking system in the world. (US
    banks rated about a 4 - on par with Germany) Once things
    settle down, Canadian Bank stocks will take off. They will
    also be in position to snap up other, formerly larger,
    competitors.

  • IBM

    Considering only the choices given, I'd take IBM. Their stock is low. They just posted earning of almost USD2.00 per share, up 28% from the previous year. They project over USD8.00 per share for the year. They expect to hit $10-11 by 2010.

    Revenues and earnings are up. Debt is down. The stock is historically low.

    I don't invest, though.
