There's a reason why more than 30,000 investors flock to Omaha each May, and millions more rummage through the Berkshire Hathaway annual reports: Gleaning knowledge from proven investors is one way to find the stocks that will make you rich.

    BEAT and AGEN are good bets and are in the Biotech sector. IBKR has always had superb financials, but slow stock appreciation. BJST and

    PSMT are good plays during these harder times.

    PEET?...it must do something different than Starbucks who is feeling the brunt of this economy.

    Fellow investors, we need the next low cost quality provider in the coffee and coffee house business. A discounted coffee house with amenities to invite customers to visit. Coffee houses and pubs are one of the oldest hangouts and will survive. My bets are on pubs, with stocks like DEO. People will drink more during hard times. Unfortunate, but true. We're only human after all. A toast to Good investing!
