You want to stay away from the franchises that have become extremely popular - you need to find the new ones that are going to be popular in a couple of years. Get on the bandwagon too late and you are doomed. The exception is Dunkin' Donuts, which all do well but are very expensive.

The best businesses to invest in is a very subjective matter, but if you're looking for stable companies, go for ones that are very large. These include Microsoft, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Intel, Johnson and Johnson and Dow Chemical. Besides being stable, these companies all have a dividend.
