    What are you investing in?

    Interest rates are really low again 3% or so. We also have inflation in the US so it sucks to let it sit. Our stock market is making new lows not new highs and real estate got the crap beat out of it.

    So where are you going with your money now?

      commodities and real estate is the only way to go right now....

      Or keep your cash in euro bank and earn 6% interest while you wait to position yourself to re-enter the market when it hits the bottom.

        Not sure about commodities, but real estate does seem like a good buy now

          Shipping- Drybulk shippers, undervalued at the moment specifically Dryships

          Railroads-CSX Corp, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Norfolk Southern

          Food-Proctor & Gamble, RJR Nabisco, Kraft

          These business are "core businesses" meaning always in demand regardless of market conditions.

          Most of my portfolio is in core businesses, but then again I invest for long term meaning 10-15 years down the line

                Now that I have lived a while, I notice that EVERYTHING cycles. Buy low sell high is more then a good idea, it is a necessity.

                So I am buying stocks and real estate right now. Was in cash for the last 5 years to a great extent with some commercial property. Buying houses. Also buying some stock long term and day trading.

                Bonds look attractive except for inflation concerns.

                Anyone buying into financial stuff here? Sort of nervous on that front.

                        If I were you I'd invest in foreign bonds.

                        Brazilian bonds payout around 12&#37; for example.
                        I'm just a newbie.

                                    Myself at the moment.

                                    I see better opportunities in real estate and stocks in the future for me.
                                    All the best to you

                                          I got interested and started studying the markets over 2 years ago and with the crisis in our financial system I have done a lot more research in to the commodities markets. In comparison to paper assets these markets are very small and demand is increasing world wide. I have also seen articles online about increased interest in fine art work and wines. If you wanna go with something like diamonds be sure to do research and look in to rare colored diamonds as there is supposedly only 1 colored diamond in every 1000 diamonds.

                                          I think the best and most affordable bets on precious metals are in Silver and Palladium because these have a lot less hype surrounding them, have many uses other than jewelry, and are considered money by the ISO. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217)

                                          If you feel its necessary to be in the stock market you should look at trusts, and commodity and short/inverse ETFs.

                                            join my personal forum at http://www.StocksForum.com you'll get better responces.


                                            Anyhow here is the break down on my own personal openion!

                                            Real estate still has about 15 - 20% correction to go.
                                            Commodities are in for a correction which already started id wait on commodities to reach support levels.


                                            well T-bills your actually going to loose money counting in inflation.

                                            Munis - bonds ... coupons/yields are pretty low right now on US tresuries.. unless you want to go corprate bonds..


                                            Your best option is to go long in stocks... when interest rates are so low.. I would buy financials right now if you can wait 3 - 5 years.. you should see at least 20% annual counting the dividends they are paying out.
                                            I would not try to pick a certain name in the banks.. just go with a ETF that covers the entire sector.

                                              In commodities.. the only thing that makes sence to me is silver and that at around $15 dollar range.

                                              Couple of etfs cover silver and thats if your broker doesn't allow you to trade the actuall future!

It takes a lot of discipline when your brain is screaming at you because we all have a herd mentality. So I started selling gold when it peaked well over $1,000 and I started buying banks and selling oil some weeks ago.

                                                                              I haven't always been right, I was buying cisco when everyone else was dumping and that never came back, ouch.

Now is a great time with real estate too, I financed a house at 4 3/8 15 year fixed at Quicken Loans a few weeks ago. That deal is gone now but may come back soon, just watch the rates. In every recession you can find buying opportunities.
