Answer
2008 is going to be quite a roller-coaster year for the stock market but the safer bets will probably be in the mining sectors or commodities,the banking sector is likely to be quite volatile so stay away if you are
just starting out,i suggest you look up interactive investor on the web for some sound advice,its impossible to predict if any stock will beat the market and analyst are predicting a
bumpy ride on the markets so why not a high interest savings account? hope ive been of some help,ive been investing for some years now and take my word,their is no crystal ball or guarantee where stocks are concerned.
