What do you mean by INVEST? Speculating or longer term positions?
Investing usually means a 5-10 year time horizon, and if that's what you're interested in, US stocks are not where you want to be as the return they will provide will not likely be enough to compensate you when adjusted for the inflation that's in our future. my recommendation is to buy things that will appreciate against the US dollar as it falls to preserve your purchasing power....which is really what an investment is all about....maximizing your purchasing power.

Depends on your personality, risk management abilities, ability to take losses, and overall level of acceptable loss.
I'd be working on the S&P e-minis/bond futures for profits and small caps for fun (plus the low, but possible chance of hitting a real winner). |

exactly.one thing you have to kind of be careful of with those types of offerings is how they are hedged. it should go into detail on the prospectus. a lot of these 'foreign' investments are actually hedged to the US Dollar. double-check to make sure, that would be an unfortunate thing to have happen when the dollar collapses. |

Bam, you just increased your income anywhere from $1600-$2200 a month. Since everything will be pretty much new, you wont have much to worry about in the way of maintenance for a while. |

Probably drugs, mostly. Not all in Cocaine, because, that much Cocaine would go stale long before you moved it. But a little bit of everything. Some high quality pot, pure(as pure as you can get in the states) coke, maybe a little bit of Heroin (Heroin is $$$$). I figure I'd do that for a couple months and then just walk away with at least 200k - 300k. Stay away from drugs like crack and meth. While your customers are loyal, they're both cheap its useless to even deal in them, unless you have coke thats doing stale and getting all funky, then cut it right down into crack rocks and sell it that way.

I guess I'm a little late to the party but I favor Decoy_TT's idea. Right now you should be able to get property for cheap and just rent it out. I think the general rule is you should get at least 1% of the total value of the property back each month in rent. Therefore, after expenses you're probably making 10% per year in addition to whatever appreciation there may be.

I think my way by far has the least amount of risk.
Stocks could crash, company could fold, etc. Hookers can give you STDs and AIDS if you dont already have it (BAMF prolly already does though so he doesn't care). Your business could not take off and fold, leaving you nothing. However with paid for properties the only large bill you have per year are maintenance and tax bills, which would be negligible compared to the 2k+ per month you would bring in. Hell 2-3 months and you paid for pretty much everything the houses will cost you. Then you turn around and invest the rest into stocks or buy more houses. |
