I've lost so much money lately at this point I moved most of my money to long term CD's and savings accounts in credit unions..I had most of my money with Co-America and Edward Jones and was losing my money by the $1000's before I could get it out!!

long term CD's and savings accounts in credit unions

I agree, just make sure the financial institution you choose is stable.

Into a Malibu and make it an SS clone.

Gold, guns, and ammunition

well, be glad you didnt invest it a year ago, lol
right now, my fin adv. is putting pretty much anything i give now in "cash" untill this thing turns around-most people are staying away from stocks
prob cd's for now, but nothing is gonna get you rich, people just hope they dont lose anything

I'm continuing to roll the dice with stocks. Dollar Cost Averaging. I don't have time to watch the market for absolute lows, so I invest regularly and consistently. What goes up always comes down. What goes down, typcially goes up. I'm staying the course. Worked for me in the past, will work for me in the future.

I bought some Citibank and PWE (oil canadian trust).

I say spread it out over 4 or 5 different stocks, in different sectors.

I am doing the same thing, yes I have lost several 10's of thousands of dollars, but it will return (history). I leave my money alone, I liked were I was invested before all this hit, I will keep it there now. I dont need my money for some time, so let it roll.

Dont forget the can foods:yes:

Unless you don't care if you lose it ALL, invest it wisely in something that is stable.

If you want some risk/reward, limit a portion to a risky investment.

You should talk to an investment advisor unless you are sticking it a 2% savings account.

:yes: Ditto.
The recent market adjustments have only made the extreme gains of the 1990's slightly less remarkable.

You can up a a decent chevelle for 10k now put another 5k into it and most likely sell it in 5 yrs for a decent profit.

Probably the safest place to invest that money today would be to stuff it into your mattress.

I invest in groceries.

How about Ameros?

how about ameros?
l:) Does anyone know what the current value of the Amero is? :D

While I tend to agree, I finally pulled all my 401K out of "stocks", because it just kept coming down... I moved it over to bonds and bond index funds (hope it will do okay there)... Not so much worried about increasing right now, but I don't want to decrease any more...

Once stocks begin to rebound (and I feel comfortable), then, maybe I'll buy more stocks... I am thinking stocks (funds) will go up, but probably do it at a slower rate than they have been dropping... So maybe I'll miss getting in on the bottom floor, but at least I'll get out before the basement...

I am also going to discontinue funding my girls college funds (529). I don't think I can move anything there, so I'll just avoid future disbursements until I feel comfortable...

I think you might be able to buy GM for 10 grand.

Hop to it.

Buy stock in campbell's soup. Everyone out of work and broke will be buying soup by the gross.

Find you some other investors and go buy a bunch of land.

You can invest it in my pocket:D

You have $10,000? :confused:

Stocks are cheap right now, if you buy with a long term strategy you will make a wise investment.

I've increased my buying of Growth Mutual funds. If I had an extra $10,000 I would probably put it in a Roth IRA.

I invest in groceries.

AK 47's, Drum magazines, AR 15's.
If I had 10,000 to invest, I would be advertising on any free classifieds that im looking to buy a gun/rifle/etc. and start buying them at firesale prices, and flipping them on gunbroker. I'd start advertising for car parts too. muncie trannys, 12 bolt rears, ralley wheels, etc. as the saying goes, just turn and burn. Dont get attached to anything and you'll come out fine.
I started collecting alot of stuff, and I just cant seem to part with most of it. jim

You must have a nice piece of property to store your hudda. Do you have room for a train (very small) and a carousel?

What about Canadian Gold?

Damn all I want is to have the money in a safe place and get some interest. 2 to 3%.

I have thought of the can idea but we have gophers around here. If the gophers find one can they will probably gopher it all. No laughing allowed.

Thanks for the tips, I still want a 66 chevelle.

gold and compound interest....

In a few short years, it won't be worth the paper it's printed on. :noway:

Anyone know what companies sell paper and green ink to the Fed? Invest in them, they're the only ones working overtime. ;)

Invest in tweakers that steal copper.

Let me keep it for you. Can't promise much of a return, but I can promise to give it back to ya! :D :D :D

Cash is KING right now Keep it in the bank for the next 6-12 months....

If you do put it anywhere, you would be wise to be sur ethat you can get at it anytime in liquid form....

gold


Seriously?? Isn't gold at an all time high right now?? :confused:

Seriously?? Isn't gold at an all time high right now?? :confused:

yep.

the money supply is at an all time high as well.

that's not a coincidence.

when the banks FINALLY start spending all those billions the feds gave them last fall, gold is going to shoot up. I'd say $1500 and oz would be a ocnservative estimate.

I'd buy a piece of property right now. The prices are way down and it's hard to go wrong with real estate.
