Seriously though, only two options if you are going to invest, spend a lot of time up front learning the basics and start slow, or buy in to managed funds (but not right now) One of the best investments right now is cash and will be until the deflation ends and inflation starts.

Definitely considering investing in healthcare.

Still kicking myself for not throwing a few thousand into Ford when they were under $2.00/share.

Well I just left my last job so I am watching everything right now..but me and some friends bought some apartment complexes and homes near a few college towns in the south...and healthcare stocks always do well...I've been sitting on a few strong tech stocks i.e. Cisco since before the craziness and it's still going well. If you are looking for a quick return it's not going to happen...but if you are planning on down the road you will be okay. My folks got me started when i was 17 i went to college..bought a house and rented out 3 rooms while living in the other..that paid the mortgage and the other money when into stocks and other property way back since 1991..also check out Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPS) yeah read up on those

There is this guy with an infomercial on the TV. For $300 he will send you his fool proof DVDs on how to make millions in real estate.

Now I'm going to bed.
