I don't want to turn this thread in to whos at fault, or any end of the world whining.... only opinions please....

 

If you had money to invest in the Stock Market, which sector would you buy in???? Seems to me that in the morning, it may be a good time to get some bargooons... unless you believe the sky is falling...

 

Im thinking the Energy sector is out... or is it???

I would stick with something along the lines of dividend shares but where the principal amount invested is secure. At least that way the worst that can happen is no returns without loosing your initial amount. However that said, if you have a good banker and a reasonable amount, they will still give you "bonus interest rates" on higher amounts. Last two I did gave me 4.25%

secondary energy. Another great future growth opportunity is water. Publicly traded companies dealing in purification or bottling.

 

If you have enough...Real Estate.

Nothing right now T.J. because you should wait for the market to bottom first before investing unless you want to feed profit takers on the way down and hold your stock with negative value for a long term you should have invested a percentage of your portfolio in gold years ago.

 

Real estate will also deflate in Canada as unemployment increases as the large percentage of overextended consumers are forced to deal with their problems.

true, but how do you know when this is

[Greencoachdog]

It's a no-brainer T.J.!

 

... buy Old Millwaukie stock!!!

[Wild]

true, but how do you know when this is

This market is not like past bear markets Rizzo you have to read the charts do valuation and pray because volatility will be commonplace. More bad news is on it's way for the US when the consumer credit card debt of close to 900 billion rears it's ugly head.

Anything Saskatchewan. The WORLD wants OIL, WHEAT, and POTASH. The province is hot and the only thing stopping it is not enough workers.

Go defensive. Stocks like kraft, Protor and gamble, McDonalds, Walmart drug stocks. Can't go wrong in this environment.

You could always invest in Gold as well. Only thing that was green on my screen today. With the bailout out the window the outlook looks pretty bleak. In situations like this, money managers typically put their cash in Gold.

If you decide to go bargain shopping, look for signs of a bottom. Today wasn't it. A good sign is when you have a really down day but by close the markets have rebounded and close up or not down that much. If you look at charts, it is called a hammer.

Good luck.

[Vanselena]

Personally I would think about shorting the markets instead of buying.

I'm hearing good things about the four horse in the sixth race at Sudbury Downs next Saturday...

hahaha... or boo hoo.. aint it the truth though...

[kickingfrog]

When do you want to start drawing the money?

 

Getting rich quick is hit or mostly miss, and the brokers make all the $$$.

 

If your talking 15 plus years down the road, invest in the market. The market always will go up. The rich get richer by buying stocks from people panicking.

 

The other option is real estate. Location, location, location.

 

 

That will be $134.00 Mr. Quesnel.

It depends how safe you want to play. Crisis is mainly focusing on financial institutions hence most of good financial stocks are at bargain. e.g master card (MA) is around $168 today was around $250 month ago, same with american express is around $32 now, was around $55 month ago. If you want to eliminate the risk factor go with blue chip in pharmaceuticals.
