This isn’t going to be some random advice where I tell you some stuff to do with your money and don’t do it myself. This is actually a look into my personal financial diary. I will tell you what I am going to do in 2012. Also, this article will only cover what stock I am going to be investing in. The stock market has actually done very well these last few months.

So here is the inside scoop on what I feel are booming industries for next year. Gold mining companies should be a great investment as gold has been the sought after metal for obvious reasons. It is one of the best conductors of electricity, does not tarnish and human beings have been in love with it since pre historic times. If you want names, the US Gold Corporation should be a good buy. NovaGold Resources and Dutch Gold Resources are also publicly traded companies that should be checked out.

You might think I am being biased being in the industry myself but I feel like the banking stocks will do good as everything points to a big recovery in the banking sector. In September of 2012 all the bonds for the mortgage companies will get renewed and this will lead to increased volatility in the stock market. So when looking at what banks and mortgage companies to invest in, keep your emotions out of the equation and focus on the real numbers and overall prospects of the company.

Investing in companies that produce fiber optic cables such as Rohde & Schwarz, the Newport Corporation and the Anritsu Corporation is also what I am going to do. However, Anritsu is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. I mean fiber optic cable growth will continue to grow into 2012. Everybody seems to be talking about China these days and I thought it would be apropos to mention here that China has been the main driver in this market on a global scale and has more than 40 percent of the world demand.

So there you go! But remember that I am not a licensed financial advisor yet so you would have to consult with one of them before making any investment in securities.
