Right now energy is hot. I won't give any specific tips, that is what investing is about - you do the picking and choosing and you spend your own money, it is your responsibility. You should look into commodities though. If you feel lost I can recommend TFM's Market Minute on SubscribeStar. For $5 a month you get a daily newsletter. I don't follow it but many people who are not well versed in investing really like it.
