What are some smart financial investments as the economy is tanking?

My 401k is shrinking ever so much and I was wondering what what more profitable than a bond or CD right now? Or should I do some other form of investing?

if you dont like to invest, simply open an etrade account, put your money there and they pay out like 4% interest. and you arent penalized if you take your money out early like in a CD

.Cal a broker and ask about hedge funds or if there is anything better

Buy a mutual fund that invests in the health care sector.

Whatever happens, health care is going to do fine.

The pharmaceutical companies and the other health care companies literally own the politicians.

As the population grows older, everyone needs more health care.

Good luck.

The market is at a bottom, so this question should have been asked before to avoid losses.

Only with active trading you may sell to avoid losses, or even sell short to profit from plunges.
But this requires experience and knowledge. Most amateurs lose money with active trading.

As I said we are at a bottom. Bad time to get out.

In my opinion, purchasing Blue Chip Stocks at these reduced prices in my DRIP Plan.

I am fairly certain my stocks will rebound in the upcoming years. I have General Electric, US Bancorp and Walmart. So the fact that they are lower in price right now makes me more apt to purchase more shares.

you might want to look into housing stocks,the strong ones will prosper.tthe weak will be gone................Just have to figure the strong ones...........
