What is the US market, industries,and business really focusing on now and til the next 5 years? Babyboomer?

Babyboomers will be the market focus for banking, investing, retirement type business, health care, etc.  However, young kids spend more money than ever before (due to the affluence of their parents) and they are going to be tapped for phone services, clothes, video games, music, and ieverything ;-) etc.

Hi!\nAmerica world's biggest economy today would continue to be big for many years. However, what may be particularly interesting that it may not remain there forever.\nLets look at the BRICs report, published by Goldman Sachs... http://www.gs.com/insight/research/reports/99.pdf\nI guess that kind of gives you an insight of the economies of the future; wherein China and India look promising. China, as a matter of fact is said to displace US in less than 50 years. \nA Giant like the US cannot become a part of a fleet of mice... So the way I look at it; US would continue to be a (mark the difference, "a" and not "the") dominating economy; but would have some good company of friends coming in from Asia!\nHope it makes sense to ya! :)\n\nEurope and Japan don't look very promising in long term... Their populations are aging fast which isn't a great sign for the next many decades.

What's "big"? Any particular sectors (manufacturing, service, etc)?\nhttp://www.sec.gov will have a lot of data on all publicly traded companies in the US, and will have some data on large privately held firms.

for the next 3 years gold, as the market price is going up due to demand and conflict around the world.\n\nSell them when everything is stable and invest in property by then, not now as the market is too hot right now.\n\nAlso invest in LCD screen manufacturing stock as they will become hot commodity in the next 2 years.

This is such a big area that it is senseless to even try addressing it! You need to specify the area of business communications that you are interested in, and also the time frame with which you are working... is it over the next year, next decade, or is it looking at trends over the last century?\n\nYour business report will be worthless if it is not focused!

People speculate China, but I would suggest emerging market in general.  This way you're not putting all eggs in one basket.

Gold is always a good bet, and now it seem the price will be going up for several year. also, if you are willing to take a slight risk, look into nanotechnology, seems to be the wave of the future.

EVERYTHING. THE DOW PULLS OTHER COMPANIES UP WITH IT. LIKE BOEING (BA) FOR EXAMPLE. BA IS AT A HIGH BECAUSE OF THE BOOMING WORLD ECONOMY. AND SO, FIND OUT WHAT IS WORKING IN THE S AND P 500 AS WELL AS THE DOW 30, THEN DO RESEARCH TO FIND WHERE THE DERIVED DEMAND IS. EXAMPLE, ATI , ALLEGANY TECH., THEY ARE BIG INTO TITANIUM WHICH CORRELATES TO THE BOEING ORDERS, ALL METAlS WILL BE BOOMING AS LONG IS BA IS DOING GOOD. CAT IS ALSO PERFORMING WELL. HPQ IS DOING GOOD AND IT IS NO SUPRISE THAT SEAGATE IS DERIVED FROM HPQ OR COMP MANUFACTURERS IN GENERAL. YOU WILL PROBABLY MAKE MORE MONEY OFF THE SMALLER DERIVED COMPANIES LIKE ATI AND SEAGATE, BUT YOU GOT TO KNOW WHY. SEC.GOV IS THE BEST PLACE TO GET REASEARCH ON THE DOW, HENCE, ALL THE PRESS RELEASES GO THERE FIRST. WHEN YOU SEE BA HAS A LESS THAN EXPECTED QUARTER, YOU SELL THE ATI ETC.\n\nALSO, IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD TECHNICAL INDICATOR THAT THE MAJOR INDEXES ARE AT NEW HIGHS AFTER A FIVE YEAR SPELL. I DON'T SAY ALWAYS W/O PARALLEL. IF YOU LOOK AT HISTORY. THERE HAS RARELY BEEN A TEN YEAR SPAN OF TIME WHERE THE S AND P HASN'T APPRECIATED AN AVERAGE OF TEN PERCENT A YEAR. THE 70'S WERE FAR WORSE THAN 2000 TO NOW IN TERMS OF GEOPOLITICS, OIL, INTEREST RATES, DOOM AND GLOOM, ETC. AND THE INEDEX STILL PULLED OUT A 10% GAIN (AVERAGE FROM 1970 TO 1980). THIS MATTERS, THUS, WE ARE VIRTUALLY FLAT FROM 2000 TO 2006. AND SO, MY THESIS (BASED ON HISTORY) IS THAT 2006 TO 2010 WILL APPRECIATE ENOUGH TO GIVE US A 10% AVERAGE GAIN FROM 2000 TO 2010.

You need to answer that question yourself. If I tell you a stock and you buy it and then it goes bankrupt, you will hate me for the rest of your life. If you do your research and buy a stock based on that and it goes down, you will figure that it is a lesson that you learned the hard way. \n\nAsk yourself these questions.\n\nwhere do I think the growth will be?\n\nwhat is the outlook for the economy?\n\nwhat is the outlook for the economy of other coutries?\n\nwhat companies am I familar with that I think are doing a good job?

I too have seen these advertisements in USA Today etc. and have wondered the same thing.  The question is whether you think the Iraqi government/economy will be prospering in the next 5 to 10 years.  I don't think so.
