Where Do I Put MY Money?
May 4th, 2009
If you think about investing you will see one of the truisms – whatever the most popular investment of the day is will _probably prove to be the worst investment you could make.
Those with a lot of cash are struck in inactivity by fear, so they will miss out when the market recovers. Think about big ideas when you think of investing.
1. Personal spending power is shrinking. A paradigm shift has occurred in markets. Personal spending power is shrinking. Expect to see people spending about 20% less on just about everything. Retail may not be the place to be.
2. Infrastructure spending is increasing. Most Western Govts are throwing their “stimulus” money at infrastructure projects. Companies which own or build infrastructure will be good investments as will be those like consultants.
3. Safety. Money is heading for safe havens. It is too late to buy the early favourites – but this may not be a bad thing, When the market recovers you don’t want your investment cash tied up in Govt stocks.
4. Agriculture is on the rise. Any companies which are involved in growing or processing foods look like they’ll be a good future bet.
5. International funds. International funds have had a bed rap, but it’s foolish not to have some money in global markets. Look for the best performers.
