RE: Investment Thread
Unless you have inside information the stock market is to be avoided. The Fed,the BIG banks, and govt are fixing the market. There just is not enough demand in our economy to justify a long term investment. Housing may have another 30% -50% slide. The US taxpayer can not continue to subsidize this industry. PASS on equities.

when you find out something, let me know. i'd be interested in getting into rare earth metals.

I'd like find some domestic producers in this area to invest in.

i completely agree. it's become pretty obvious that this market is inflated by the Fed. doesn't mean we can't take advantage of this "smack" while it's being fed (no pun) to the market

RE: Investment Thread
Bump.

I'm not happy with the return on my (largely forgotten about) mutual fund, NYSE: ACPAX, but maybe I'm being impatient. It is something my parents set up over a decade ago and I was supposed to use it for college, but thankfully didn't have to touch it.

The stock gained $2.26 over the year to $13.49 (and in March '09 was at $5.97 ugh). Is the grass greener somewhere else? or is this rate something I should be happy with it (happier if I'd have yanked it all before 3Q '08)?

The chart for the past year looks pretty unstable, but the market as a whole hasn't been "stable". I wish I knew how to better read the ratings and gains information etc.

I'm ~25, so I can take some chances. Are there better suited funds out there? I'm asking some professionals, but I figured there might be some aged experience on here.

RE: Investment Thread
not a mutual fund guy, I prefer the ETFs. I hold a financial and energy one at the moment. If you are looking for an equity, I'm high on Cree (LED company) that has been battered lately and Walgreens although that one is probably properly valued at the moment.

RE: Investment Thread
I bet against the dollar. So I have silver which has tripled. I wouldn't buy now, but still holding it. And I have a couple world mutual funds. Developed markets like europe, canada, japan, and australia which I am still buying in. Overall I like commodities, but it's hard to figure out where the bubbles are. I prefer stocks of companies that actually produce things we need. Mining, farming, chemical companies, utilities etc are good bets, but again some are high priced. Do your homework and buy things that are relatively cheap. I really like europe right now because it's kind of getting beat up by the debt crisis and is therefore a relatively low price.

RE: Investment Thread
Speaking of foreign funds, T Rowe Price Latin America has averaged over 20% annual returns over the past 5-10 years. It's down this year, but I think Latin America is a great place to invest right now. Everyone knows Brazil is an emerging superpower, but several other countries like Chile, Colombia, and Panama are rising powers with pro-business governments.

Another industry that I have been reading a lot about is coking coal. About 5% of the world's supply of coking coal has been produced in Australia, and many of the mines have been destroyed by the recent flooding. Apparently, Canada is a big producer, and Teck Resources (TCK) is a company that a lot of people like right now.
