These times are the best time to invest in stocks, without a doubt. You know the old saying “buy low, sell high.” Bear markets are the best time for bargains. The only question is what to buy. There are probably several well-known mid-large companies out there that may not survive the downturn. There are also no doubt some bargained-priced small-cap companies out there now that during the next bull market (some time down the road) will be the next Microsoft or WalMart. What are they? No one can say for sure (although Warren Buffett may have an inkling!).
Politically, I’m on the independent/moderate side.
Good luck to you and your husband!

I was going to say Chavez, but then remembered his oil revenues are dropping like the proverbial rock.
He just cut off Joseph Kennedy III’s Communist charity. No more oil for the American Left.

I made millions shorting subprime lender stocks and otherwise buying put options and rolling them over month after month on the subprime and Alt-A lender stocks.
I’m a Republican.

I work to take advantage of the economy ALL the time, not just when there is a “downturn”.
I’m an independent American, not one of the lemmings that puts party before country.

Yeah, I wished I had the money cause things are really cheap at the moment.
I can’t afford anymore loans, I have to pay off what I have or I would be buying a new house and car.
But if you can take advantage of it.

Did you know that the economic down turn is due to that the wealth is in the possession of the wealthy and therefor they are the only ones able to take advantage of it…?
You must have not learn anything about economics in college…

Ditto what Monster said.
Real estate is cheap now if you have the money to buy it, so that would be a good thing.
I am still working on filling my 10,000 gallon storage tank, so I will have plenty of Gas when the prices sky rocket again.
Conservative values here!
