Where to invest your money during an economic recetion?

Cash is king during a recession.

during good times= stocks, bad times= mutual funds

Try Shorting Stocks.

Go to www.share.com

You might look at stocks that have been bombed out during growth fases, like tech, there are many good stocks which are quite low because tech was hated and cant drop much further. You might want to look into commodities though, but not oil if you didnt buy it around 80ish its too late now for the time being.
Uswheat and soybean for example kept growing after the dow started to come back from 14000. If you would have bought Soybean right after 2008 you would be still slightly in the green.

Somebody else mentioned shorting you have to be able to closely monitor the market for that. ROberta Murphy, investing in real estate in the us is very diffifcult. It aint like its Germany where the equivalent of the east coast lives crammed in a state half the size of kansas. If you invest outside the few places that are afloat despite the current plundge you risk big. Why buy overpriced if there is plenty of more land to built onto ?

We are not in a recession.

You might want to look at investing offshore. They have better rates than state side and always will.

Don't go for stocks. Since the stock market is not going so well, overseas investments would be the best choice.

Starting a small business would be the way to go if you have time.
Alternatively try to invest in someones business. You may receive up to 20% guaranteed interest a year. You will not get such high guaranteed returns on stocks, mutual funds, bonds or CD's.
If you invest $10,000 at 20% annual interest rate, you will get back $12,000 in 1 year. I run my own business and my net profit is over 5% a month.
