Investing during the Coming Recession

[Beanie]

Didn't someone already do a topic about that already -- Deflation During a Massage -- or something like that?

I am wondering what stocks to buy. I guess that puts me in a very large group. I bought some Ford and Apple stock, thinking they might go up at least for a short while, but don't listen to me. I'm the one asking questions.

Subtle difference between making a billion on investing and scamming an overinflated tech company to pour a small fortune into an half-assed idea running on a secondhand server in a bedroom closet.

Don't see anything original there and I like the guy.

Im sorry but that statement is wrong. I see my taxes going up significantly next year and cant really see how that benefits me. Personally since Im still in my mid 30s and can wait for the pay off Im buying good growth mutual funds

Gold and lead. The lead is to protect the gold...

Really. Stay heavy in cash, light in debt and buy high quality large domestic stocks/funds. Some large caps are yielding more than the 10 year treasury and trading at 6-8x earnings and 1.5-2.5x book. It may take a good deal of patience, but it will turn around.

FXP looking really attractive under 80.

Strongly advised buying yesterday @ 68.

**** the ChiComs. Their efforts to avoid an uprising won't last.

If you don't have your financial house in order, you may not be poised to take advantage of the lows we have seen and will see.

If you're smart, wait until the market averts a crash to begin buying for the long haul. The chances of collapse are too high. The list of companies, persons and countries that are near default is shocking. Play it safe. Don't gamble your money away.

I've only been buying US/UK equities and currency directly before major government intervention. Hold for a day or two then sell, go short or seek safe havens. The worst has yet to come.

2-3 honest men and women are still in Congress fighting against the rip-off scumbags. I applaud them.

Have you guys noticed that with the dump from mutual funds, nearly every company in the last 2 months has dumped???
It seems now would be a good time to buy a "blue chip," while at its nadir...
GE at 17 looks pretty good...

Vincente Fox spoke in Portland recently and said he fully expects the USA to crash and burn into hyperinflation in the common months. He said illegal immigration won't be a problem because the illegals will be trying to GET BACK TO Mexico.

Everyday that goes by I am more and more convinced that the US economic collapse - worse, but different from 1929 - is coming, and soon.

The difference is during the 1929 depression cash was king because it was backed by something and a precious item. Now, it is toilet paper - soon to be absolutely worthless.
Ron Paul just gave a speech on the global currency in the works. It will also be a FIAT currency, but then the bankers will have what they are striving for - global power, centralized.

If there were an economic collapse, and I am not an economist so I don't have the theory/experience at my disposal to say one way or the other, what would happen ?

Step by step.

Noisycow you've been harping on about impending doom like a Nostradamus-follower with a big jug of kool-aid in his hand, so I'm interested to hear the rest of your foretelling.

Do you mean coming months?

[Noisycow]

Yes, he said coming MONTHS. His comments of course we not covered in our corporate controlled media.

He also said the USA will be the first non-developed modern country. Not sure what that was supposed to mean. I think he was saying that we will be like a starving nation with buildings with no utilities, cars with no gas, etc.

When the President of Mexico makes statements like that and not a word is spoken in the media about it, know that everything you hear is filtered.

Invest in hard tangible assets including guns and ammo. I learned my lesson the hard way. Paper assets are manipulated by the "club" of which few if any of us are members. Noticed that the finance industry gets a 750 billion dollar bailout while Detroit auto makers may not even get 14 billion. I know, I know, Detroit automakers need to get with the program, but at least they make things. And how do you like our "elected" representatives demand that auto makers come up with a game plan as a condition for a bailout while giving a blank check to the finance industry. Com'n folks!

[Noisycow]

I would say you are 100% correct. To protect yourself (somewhat) from the printing press hyperinflation, get into tangibles and OUT of cash, savings accounts, checking accounts, IRAs, funds ... anything on paper ... or you will get bent over. The most important thing to have is food/water - at least enough to last six months. In you don't have the space or means to store water, buy a water filter/purification portable system. They are advanced enough to allow you to turn a street puddle into drinking water.

Think about what people will need. Water, food, booze, cigarettes (even if you don't smoke, trade them).

To give an idea of how bad hyperinflation in the USA may be, look at Argentina or other Central-bank controlled economies. In '29 Germany their central bank had inflation so high, so fast, the people were taking wheelbarrows full of German marks to the bakery to buy a loaf of bread. Become educated about the Federal Reverse Fraud, google it.

Then act on it. Take advantage of the fact that you know Bernie is already dead.

Topic revival time. Check out these stocks:

CTIC
HYTM

I don't know enough about the companies. Both look rather promising, though.

I'm doing well with my SAM (Boston Beer Co.) stock. I bought it right after it fell off a cliff about a week ago and it's going up nicely now.

YouTube - The US Dollar collapse starts now! Get out before its to late - Peter Schiff

In the 1980s the Zimbabwe 'dollar' was worth the same as ours. They followed the same bankster criminal policies we are following now. The top leaders in the US are bankster-owned; watch the Obama Deception video on Google if you have not already. All the people you trust - are thieves. If you trust them they will end up doing to you what comes natural for a thief. 94% of Americans said absolutely "NO!!" to the bankster bailouts in major polling. Then why did they go through? Because your desires mean zip. Puppets are running the country (into the ground).

The banknote below will now buy an apple, where just a month ago 10 billion would buy an apple. This is what can happen when a government decides to print trillions of dollars of worthless toilet paper. It gets crazy. This is what we have started to do and it will end very badly for those not prepared.

You can buy this 100 trillion dollar note on Ebay for about $15 now. Historically, in every country, their FIAT currency eventually fails. There are no exceptions. In the USA we are on our third form of printed currently now. The dollar will be the next to fail. First we will have the Commercial Real Estate collapse in fall '09 or soon thereafter. Then bank holidays ... etc. Google Gerrald Celente, he is also a good source of information.
