Gold, energy, food and land

Investors who have survived the worst recession in decades, a dollar collapse, collapse of the real estate market, the government failure and a collapse in equity markets seen. After the recession began in 2007, everyone thinks the same thing, where we invest our money now? In 2005, a monkey could ignore throw their money in stocks, bonds and real estate benefit slightly. The buy and hold strategy is lucrative and quite true. Most private investors was a sense of security of the long-term growth and long main street. From 6 March 2009 in the second quarter of 2010 we participated in a meeting bear market confidence, which means we had a recovery of 30% of the shares in general, but still 30% to 40% compared to peak before the recession. We are all still trying to recover.

So what’s an investor to do ?…. Let’s start by the ownership of a piece of paper, such as stock certificates, bonds, mortgage securities. Over the next ten years, smart investors shift assets out of paper material goods and commodities. If anyone has a good opportunity to invest in drinking water could find, it would be like a good idea!

It is time to invest in gold and silver, energy, food and land. These investments are based on the Earth produces physical objects … I know it looks strange description, but think about it. They are in high demand, they are ready (to be exhausted) and are more difficult to produce.

GOLD and SILVER

Gold and silver are the physical forms of money because they save to resist the financial crisis and the value of your savings. The gold and silver stocks are very volatile and fall with the market, but they will sometimes begin to increase in bear market. The key is to find in high-growth companies. Canada leads the gold mining and exploration company with a product market.

Physical gold is ideal if you can afford to protect against inflation and because it has far made over long periods of time. See our post on “Gold is money.”

As you can see from the table above can, gold bullion has been on a tear since 2000. Ordinary people in the growing middle class in Russia, India and China is buying gold jewelry and gold bullion at an alarming rate. It is generally not a good idea for the average investor to buy a card as a tip, but the price of gold continues to increase over the fear. $ 1,200 $ 1,800 can be in the coming months. Physical Gold corrections are usually between 10% and 25%. Buy price cuts and buy later at regular intervals.

Energy

Oil is the number one source of energy consumption worldwide and will continue to increase with the rise of China, India and Brazil. Look for oil press for $ 100 + per barrel. It is almost obvious, but can not buy oil stocks mature and expect a return because they are volatile and do not offer much growth for the average investor. In order to invest, invest in oil futures and options. It took me years to understand that an investor may buy oil futures on a regular basis.

The recession has reduced the real estate prices in many parts of America and the world, not as in Canada. The key is your horizons past their own city to expand and assume that the market has some risk of loss.
