When the deflation starts turning into inflation you'll definitely want to be out of bonds at that time.<br />See: drosenberg@Mail.ems.gluskinsheff.netjimlongxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322999577826547575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-11296561672349200782010-10-19T06:35:16.710-06:002010-10-19T06:35:16.710-06:00Well, how you choose to invest depends much on you...Well, how you choose to invest depends much on your time horizon, of course, but I personally find bonds to be a really bad investment, unless they are really short-term.<br /><br />You might find Jim Rogers' assessment of where to put money interesting, along with the rest of his talk(s) (the <a href="http://mises.org/media/5418" rel="nofollow">second</a> is more useful than the <a href="http://mises.org/media/5415" rel="nofollow">first</a>). His time horizon may be longer than yours, though.<br /><br />Rogers, btw, somehow made a gazillion dollars in the markets, though I cannot recall just how.Allen Cogbillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17859147855610271882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-8863255473307902652010-10-19T03:26:04.125-06:002010-10-19T03:26:04.125-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-88515919263303530532010-10-18T15:07:01.203-06:002010-10-18T15:07:01.203-06:00I sell structural steel to fabricators who are bui...I sell structural steel to fabricators who are building new office buildings, shopping centers, manufacturing plants, coal preparation plants, etc. These customers are tanking- they have been taking work below cost for over a year (too many suppiers chasing a smaller pie)- I think it's going to hit the fan this winter.jimlongxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322999577826547575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-7091895093553247122010-10-18T11:14:38.096-06:002010-10-18T11:14:38.096-06:00Oh, and the argument they provide to illustrate it...Oh, and the argument they provide to illustrate it's always a good time to invest in the stock market?<br /><br />First, you should <i>only</i> put in money you won't need for the next five to ten years.<br /><br />Second, unless the market <i>completely</i> collapses, it will still be there, through thick and thin...and if the stock market <i>completely</i> collapses, it's likely that society itself would have completely collapsed--in which case, money of any sort will unlikely be any good.Epsilon Givenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772806403046781521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-92154673757067417392010-10-18T11:12:03.912-06:002010-10-18T11:12:03.912-06:00The Motley Fool makes a very good case that any ti...The Motley Fool makes a very good case that <i>any</i> time is a good time to invest in the stock market, so long as you invest in about ten to fifteen solid companies, and make sure you do you homework--checking on companies about once a month for what they call "rule makers" (well-established companies), or about once a week if it's what they call a "rule-breaker" (an up-and-coming company set to take the market by storm).<br /><br />I haven't had the time to do what they teach...nor have I had the time to research good mutual funds...but then, none of this matters, because I don't have the money to invest in anything, either :-(.Epsilon Givenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772806403046781521noreply@blogger.com
