If this was a little over a year ago, Id inves in security devices and the likes. A friend of mine made a nice bundle investing in metal detection. I wish I would have pulled from my savings to get in on that one.

As for me, cant go wrong in real estate.

Real Estate you can virtually never go wrong in.  GE is trading still in the low 20s which is insane for that company.  I tried to get my mom to drop 10k on it when it hit 18 in August, but she refused.  God I need money.

^^^^^^^^

:laughing:

To elaborate on the gold thing, I will explain a few things...

During the tech stock boom, central banks in Europe had large quantities of physical gold holdings. They leased the gold to companies, taking a profit on gold that was literally just sitting in their vaults. So, the people who leased the gold sold it to get cash to buy stocks, thinking that with gold being driven down due to market flooding they could replace it cheaply. Then they lost their shirts. Now the central banks are calling for their gold to be replaced, and the companies can\'t come up with it, \'cos the gold is in jewelry and in private investors\' cupboards. So it causes a "short squeeze" driving the price of gold up as investors scramble to fulfill the lease obligations.

In the last year, I\'ve seen gold go from a low of around $240 /oz to $350.

Now if I only had some money...
