|
|
 In the mood for something different? If you're an investor, you have plenty of choices for putting your money to work in the 21st century, including new types of securities, leading-edge technologies, and rocket-science stock selection strategies. Our Special Report, Frontiers of Investing, zeroes in on some of today's most fascinating trends. Take a look at our story on exchange traded funds, for example. These super-specialized funds not only offer investors fresh ways to diversify their portfolios, they also provide ordinary folks with ways to play such esoteric technologies as nanotech or new advancements in health care. Speaking of which, check out a related slide show for a deeper understanding of how nanotech works. And take a look at the latest installment in our popular Five for the Money series, which profiles stocks at the cutting edge in such fields as energy, medicine, and real estate. Among the new investing frontiers are some advanced strategies -- for instance, an S&P analyst's portfolio that uses a ``Neural Net'' to help identify the most attractive stocks, or a Berkeley professor's innovative approach to unlocking the mysteries of currency swings. You'll find this and more at www.businessweek.com/go/06frontiers.
