I recognise that last year was for the fainted, shell-shocked types but this year I recommend S&P500 as a safe haven as a method to sustain the value of your money. You might even build a little wealth.
I disagree. I am of the opinion that the markets still have quite a ways to go down yet. I think 2009 will be even worse than 2008, 2010 will be a mixed bag, and we won't see any decent recovery in the markets until 2012 at the earliest.
For the most part, common stocks shall rise in value this year. Companies are eliminating useless fat to buoy their positions to remain competitive and as a result it may be a boomer year for anyone with the capability to understand an otherwise depressed market.
Is this before or after the bank holiday ? The market might surge again, but the derivative time bomb will absolutely positively result in another stock market and currency collapse. Among other things.
Obama is going to fix that too. <-- just a joke about your comment. But, you are really talking about financial markets which are only 5% of the S&P500 right now. Early in 2008 the financials were about 20% of the S&P500. So, as a plan, we should all make some money this year.
I'm not telling you what to do with your 'money', I'm just telling you what's going to happen to 'money' that stays in anything having to do with duh dollah.
That's a nice comment. I want you to realize how to look beyond the problems that we all face because whether you agree or not the value of just about everything is measured in US dollars; and as we talk, the Euro hit a 6 year low. I am afraid that if you have a few bucks during this depression you might want to believe in the markets. Place an order for some common stocks in NASDAQ as an example. After all you and millions around the world are going to buy a new computer within the next few years.
All the best !

Do you have the capacity to make an on-line wager with me?
