Anyone with a brain could tell this was gonna happen. Where else you going to put money? Housing... maybe Gold..already high Savings... 1% So that leaves stocks. The world DID NOT END so people re-invested. Those who dd nothing but continue to buy stock at lows are now are now way ahead of the 2007 correction. Like it never happened. Sell high...buy low Last edited by boltman2007; 02-02-2013 at 07:36 AM.. |

Yeah and it took 5-6 years to get there and I am sure will head south again at the next corection whenever that may be. One always looks like a genius at the high, let;'s see you predict the next correction which is going to come...it is just a matter of when\what year. The reason trillions sit on the sidelines is that people do not trust the crooks on Wall Street and in DC and are not going to spend another decade of zero gains or get ripped off at the next correction. Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice, shame on me. The government can keep rates at near 0 for however long they want, sooner or later all the money printing and debt will catch up with them and those who got burned the last decade are not coming back. Unless you want to play Vegas and market time, the market remains a rigged game and those that come in at the high and think the party is going to never end will end up waiting another x number of years to recoup their money imo. If you want to invest in something, try real estate as at least with that you have a tangible asset that does not vaporize. Last edited by YanksIn2009; 02-02-2013 at 08:46 AM.. |

Like anything else, one can make a bad investment in anything. Location and income producing are the key imo. Buying property for speculation sakes is bad news. Buying it to generate income sufficient to pay whatever loans you have on it at a min is what to me makes the most sense. I am not advocating throwing a lot into real estate, but I would try investing a little there before I delve back into stocks at near highs. The clowns on TV will always say things are great and will continue to do so when things are going good on paper. None can predict the next correction outside of using a ouija board. I have no desire to take my savings to Vegas and day trade. |

Real question is where do you invest your meager retirement funds?
One percent or less on savings is putting the screws to the seniors and those foolish enough to save some of their earnings. Real estate is definitely upside down, but carrying costs are brutal in my neck of the woods (Northeast), heaven forbid if the renter of your property decides not to pay and fight eviction. Also all this hype about the market returning to it previous highs, what about all the lost returns? That alone is a tremendous amount of money for those on the home stretch to retirement. Let's face it, those that are working will not be allowed to retire. Someone has to pay something towards the bills, our friends in DC are running up. |
