The Best Investments for the New Decade

Yes, we know how the last 10 years panned out. What investors really want to know is what will be the best investments for the next 10 years? Which markets, sectors and stocks have the best prospects, and which have the worst?
The first thing to note: Put not your faith in analysts.

In preparation for this column I asked the Proprietary Research team at Thomson Reuters to take a look at all the analysts' recommendations, across the Standard & Poor's 500-index group of major stocks, on your behalf.
The results tell you most of what you need to know about Wall Street analysts' recommendations.
Of the 9,162 outstanding notes covering S&P 500 stocks, fewer than 7% are negative. And most of those are merely "underperform" calls. Just 189 notes, or 2% of the total, are outright "sell" recommendations.
