Where do you invest?

[MathTeacher]

Given how fast the governments are printing money, the only form of “currency” that is worth having in the future would be gold and silver.

It’s best to only invest in things that you understand, because if the investment goes up, then you won’t know when to get out of it, and if you buy something and it starts going down, then you’ll blame the person who gave you the advice.

If you don’t understand how things work, and you for example might invest in gold, and then when/if the stock market crashes as in 2008, it most likely will take gold down with it for a few weeks/months as people will be selling stocks in the gold sector as well to meet margin calls in their equity margin accounts.

You then might decide that gold was a bad investment, and you might get rid of it at its very lows while other people will start buying gold at discounted prices, and then you’ll be in disbelief to see gold skyrocket right after you sold it. This is just one possible scenario. Basically, stick to investing ONLY in things that you understand.

Funny and real advice.
After you buy it, it will go down. Then, after you sell it, it will go up (skyrocket right after you sold it).

IBD had printed some great Smith & Wesson charts/RGR = great long tern uptrend [single stock risk]
I read in a historical newspaper where they listed the price of some real estate sold in ''buckskins''[aka bucks]
USa has had some great forms of money; copper, pennies ,half pennies, silver, gold,Fed notes,
tobacco, buckskins, beads[aka wampum] beaver skins. Some of those old copper pennies sell for 7 figures
I asked again if the metals dealer bought any gold lately , cashier window always posts gold + silver price;
no she says. They do mostly brass, some brass shells, copper, steel, lead , old cars, tin, any metal ......
They had an old red caboose/ they sold it

Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (SWBI) Took off after earnings!

Let's forget about trading, where and how do you invest?
what do you think of investing in stocks? or maybe real estate?
And have you ever seen anyone investing in the forex market?

In case of real estate watch out for the bubbles like for example in 2008/2009 at US. Real Estate Flips can be opoprtunity as long as there is a demand on the market caused by low loans fees. FED will tell you when. Actions are growing when value of the Money is falling and the same in oposite. In case of obligations the same like with money.
