The 18 Best Jobs for 18-Year-Olds
Do you remember if you had a job when you were 18 years old? I do. I worked at a golf course doing grounds maintenance work. Being a golfer – it was a fun job to have! I got to pick out the holes for the days play and cut the greens. The only thing bad about it was starting work at 6:00 in the morning!
I’m now a step-father to a soon-to-be 18-year-old and it’s a whole new world. The Internet has changed so much about how we do things and is offering a lot of ways to make money for the entrepreneurial teenager. It’s funny to think when I was that age – there was no Internet (wow, I’m old!).
While the current job market for the high-schooler and college student looks a little downcast right now, I still believe breaks abound for those who have applied themselves and have a desire to succeed.
As a parent I think it’s important to let your teenage work (especially if they want to and have proven themselves to be responsible) in high school. I know there are many different schools of thought on this. Overall, it can be a great learning experience for them – as it will teach them the value of a dollar and stewardship. The job can also provide them with a stepping stone or a jump start on a future career.

Forget Ford and GM: This is The Best Auto Stock to Own
Although things are clearly looking up big-name domestic car companies such as Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) and General Motors (NYSE: GM), investors seeking an auto stock with eye-popping growth potential may want to look far away. Very far away, in fact — like about 8,000 miles.
You'd have to go that far to visit Mumbai, where one of my favorite car companies is headquartered. The company's stock is up more than 60% in 2012, compared with gains of about 10% for GM and 1% for Ford.

What's more, the stock has delivered 54% annual returns for the past three years. And even though it has so wildly outperformed, I think it could still more than double in the next few years.
The stock I'm talking about is Tata Motors Ltd. (NYSE: TTM). If you're not all that familiar it, I strongly suggest taking a closer look.

Cramer’s Mad Money – The Best Quarter In This Earnings Season So Far (5/7/12)
By SA Editor Miriam Metzinger:
Stocks discussed on the in-depth session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV Program, Monday May 7.
CEO Interview: Irwin Simon, Hain Celestial (HAIN)
Cramer declared that Hain Celestial’s (HAIN) quarter was the “best quarter in earnings season so far.” Last Thursday, the company reported a 4 cent earnings beat with revenues up 31.5%. Earnings growth accelerated from 7% to 9%. Even though Hain had run up 29% into the quarter from the beginning of the year, the stock did not drop after earnings, but rose an additional 6%. Hain’s shares have seen a 184% gain since Cramer got behind it two years ago, and a 23% rise since CEO Irwin Simon appeared on Mad Money in February. The stock is not cheap, with a multiple of 24 and a 10% long-term growth rate, but Cramer thinks the latter number is too conservative. In spite of the warm weather, soup sales

How You Can Find the Best Gas Prices When Traveling
I’m probably not the only one who dreads trips to the gas station. While traveling locally can be hard enough on the wallet, long road trips have become exceedingly expensive. While we’ve had pockets of relief in the U.S., the fuel prices continue to climb higher and higher. Quick research reveals that the average U.S. gas price has increased roughly one-dollar per gallon over the last two years1. That means a road trip of 490 miles in an average family sedan getting 18 miles per gallon would cost roughly $ 216 today vs. $ 160 one year ago (round trip).
