Question

Where should I invest my money if I want to take advantage of the bad economy?

Answer 1

Anywhere outside of the USA.

Answer 2

Health Care providers.  And here's why:  think about the aging baby boomer population.  Jump into innovative health care providers early, and you should be able to make a pretty penny.  Regardless of the economy, when people get sick or old, they seek out care, regardless of the cost or state of the economy, and the population of people in this position will be constantly on the rise over the course of the next 10-20 years.  If you're looking for more immediate gains, focus on the international market.  I would recommend Asia, or specifically China.  Hate to say it friends, but the days of America being the world superpower are numbered.  Red China will be crackin it's preverbial whip sooner than you think.  With all the criticism of non eco-friendly practices in the states these days, we're falling behind (And i'm not saying that im anti-green).  I'm just saying that China doesn't give a ****, pumping out as much CFCs per day as the rest of the world combined.  Anythign for instant gain.  And on a more obvious note, you absolutely cannot go wrong with oil companies.  Albeit most have costly stock prices, they will do nothing but go up until the oil on this planet has been depleted.

Not stock unless its energy companies. I would get real estate right now. If you could lock up a few properties right now you could make a million in 5-8 years. Florida is a great place to get houses now. I know of a neighborhood that has homes for sale at $275,000 and up. They were all built for $425,000 and up in 2006. In a few years they WILL bounce up.
