Read books like popular science/popular mechanics, etc and look for trends that are plausible. Then look for some companies that specialize in these areas, and invest in the best ones.
Another good thing to do is read two of Peter Lynch's books "One Up On Wall Street" and "Beating The Street". He details in his book how he used common sense to turn Fidelity's Magellan fund into one of America's biggest and best. He bought little known companies which went on to become well known companies.
I've worked in the investment industry for many years, and I've had many people come up to me and say that they could make more money than I can. I took many people up on their offer, and less than 5% of these people have actually beaten me (and I'm no world beater – it just shows that people aren't as smart as they think they are)
