The Best Investing For Me

I've been studying my success and failure for some time now and these are the best for me.
Stocks: MO (in the $20s), BA (in the $30s), DD (in the $20s). These all fluctuate wildly but always pay a nice dividend. Buy them reasonably and they will treat you right.
ETFs: Country: RSX (in the $20s), Commodity inverse DZZ (when gold is outrageous), I hope I never have to use SDS (S&P inverse) again, and if you can see the rebound SSO. These last 3 are strictly opportunistic and radical. I'm not a  buy and hold guy on ETFs. In and out it is and these are all dangerous. The Russian one is not as dangerous as the other three. Costs are cheap on ETFS.
Mutual Funds: These are buy and hold. ANCFX (93% stocks & front load), FAIRX (95% stocks), FBALX (61% stocks 32% bonds). These 3 do not have too many overlapping investments and do not include my top three stocks currently. Very good.
Specialty Funds: AMAGX (91% stocks Islamic values, I am not Islamic), SHSAX (93% Health stocks), LIGRX (77% Intermediate Term Investment Grade bonds & 15% cash).
That's the truth and what I'm stickin' to.
