THE ABSOLUTE BEST INVESTMENT DURING A RECESSION IS TO PAY OFF YOUR DEBT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. A NEST EGG OF SIX MONTHS OF INCOME IS ALSO A GOOD IDEA.THE NEXT THING TO UNDERSTAND IS WHAT TYPE OF RECESSION WE'RE FACING.I BELIEVE WE ARE FACING AN INFLATIONARY RECESSION WHERE THE COST OF ALL THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE WILL INCREASE IN COST[I.E. FOOD,GAS,HEALTH CARE]WHILE WAGES WILL BE FLAT OR DECREASE. ASSETS SUCH AS real estate AND STOCKS WILL DECREASE IN VALUE AS EARNINGS FROM THESE ASSETS WILL ALSO DECREASE.MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY MADE SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS BY SHORTING CYCLICAL SECTORS OF THE Stock Market SUCH AS HOME BUILDING STOCKS. BY FINDING WAYS ON BETTING ASSETS WILL DECREASE IN TERMS OF DOLLAR COSTS LARGE GAINS COULD BE MADE. GOLD AND GOLD STOCKS HAVE ALSO INCREASED DRAMATICALLY AS PEOPLE HAVE SOUGHT A HISTORICALLY SAFE HAVEN INVESTMENT.AS THIS IS BEING WRITTEN IN JANUARY 2008, A C.D. PAYING AROUND 5% IS NOT A BAD MOVE FOR PEACE OF MIND AND EASE OF INVESTMENT.FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO TAKE MORE RISK I WOULD LOOK AT PENNY MINING STOCKS AS A EXAMPLE OF AN INVESTMENT THAT HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED AND COULD PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM THE WEAKNESS OF THE DOLLAR AS THE FEDERAL RESERVE ATTEMPTS TO FLOOD THE WORLD WITH DOLLARS TO PREVENT A FULL BLOWN DEPRESSION.
Forget this rubbish...If it has to be typed in capitals and you trust it, then seek competent advice. And by all accounts forget the worst investments of all (penny mining stocks) that are just pure speculation. Go for 100% capital guaranteed fund investments and then sit back and RELAX (sorry for the capitals).
