What can I buy that won't go down?

Here is a word...Day traders hardly ever use, "Beta".

For a long term investor, you need to understand it thoroughly...

Haha I am familiar with beta Cabin, just hadn't thought about it in forever! So I think the answer for stocks is to just use finviz, search for the biggest baddest stocks with lowest beta, and preferably ones that pay a bit of a divvy (those give me a funny, tingly feeling).

But using finviz, there hardly seem to be any CEFs or ETFs with a beta below 0.5 - is there any other screener that you use that I can try?

Thanks!!!

As you know...Beta is not the only answer. It is just looking backwards.

I just use Yahoo! Finance, Schwab, and Fidelity for screening. I have about 70 or so stocks I keep on my list...I have done the research for them already. If they are down, I will look long and hard why it is so. If it's a one off, I will put in a low bid and see if I can pick it off.

You really need to put in the leg work to find your own stocks. Ask yourself how it makes money?? How will it make money in the future? How likely will they hold their dividend? How interest sensitive are they? Are they winning or losing market share? I like to bounce ideas off of friends and family (investors), what they think of a company. Please rip this company to shreds...Listen, counter, and if it holds up, you may want to pursue...

Gold may be, but that too, in the long run, I won’t say that the price of gold can’t go down because it has in the past and probably will in the future, so you need to make sure that you are investing in gold at the right price to make the maximum profits.
