It may be still be a few months away however the professional investors will already be preparing their stock portfolios for 2010. Research, research and more research is the name of the game. So where could be the best place to invest your hard earned cash in 2010?

Now it is important that I a make one thing clear to the readers of this article before I continue; please do not take what you read as any form of financial advice as I am not a financial adviser. I am just another run of the mill guy who likes to play the stock markets. I see it as a bit of fun and very much a gamble. By trade I offer advice on training for foster carers, I work part-time for an egg donation service and I am also involved in composite door company that offers amongst other things external doors.

I am personally attracted to companies that are investing their way through this recession and the ones that are making acquisitions. This may just turn out to be the perfect time to buy a business. Many business owners are unable to raise finance and are desperate to sell up therefore any person with the available cash can easily bag themselves a bargain.

Those companies that are willing to invest are the ones that are likely to emerge as the strongest once this recession ends. It is all about ensuring that you are best placed out of all of your competitors when business starts to boom again.

As for regions, I am particularly attracted to the stock markets in Russia, in India and in China. The Japanese stock market is certainly due a good run however this would be a slightly riskier gamble in my humble opinion.

For all you investors out there – good luck in 2010! Steve Hill from the UK, invester of the year 2094! OK maybe not invester of the year; how about investor of the century lol.
