  • Re: Business, Economic, and Tax Policy 9: No, No, No, We Compost The Rich

    So smart people: if the "throw money around indiscriminately" checks come next month, and I want to invest $2,000 for my retirement in 15 to 25 years, what stocks or sectors make the best investment at the moment?
    Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

        A broad based low fee mutual fund. Boring as hell but will get you average market returns with less risk than trying to pick the hot sector.

          But it's free money! What about gene editing or algae farms?
          No, I know you're right though.

            Slow and steady has always been the safe choice. You won't make a splash, but you won't lose much, either.
            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

              S&P isn’t even slow and steady. There aren’t many firms that can beat it in total returns.

                  I definitely was too optimistic when I said 14k was my guess where the Dow bottoms out. Unless something is done we could be looking at under 10k a month from now. Apple might not have to spend very much to buy Disney and completely ruin the world.

                  geezer,

                  Yeah find some low risk mutual fund and go to town. It wont do much for you now but if you buy when the market is crashing you will get it cheaper than normal and in 5 years most likely you will be dancing over how you scored. Since my 401k already is in the low risk funds and I have 2 in my Ameritrade account I might take a chance on a few things myself. I have my eye on a few mutual funds that have been suggested to buy during a Bear Market and I wont lie, watching Disney drop and with rumors of the buyout swirling it is worth looking at. (though not likely for me)

                            If you don't know what "leveraged" means or the far scarier, "3x leveraged", assume they mean "You will lose everything"

                              It seems to me the only three people on the planet who would invest in that instrument would be the President, the Fed Chair, or MBS, who could each tank the economy by themselves.

                              How the f-ck can this do 23M in volume? Srsly? Is it just crook brokers burning their clients for the commissions?

                                It’s for the investors who have an already established portfolio, and this product should be seen as play money on the side. It’s for speculation.
