Where are good places for money today?

No kidding, ammo sales are through the roof right now. I was browsing for some 5.45x39mm and every place seems to be out of stock (B&M and online).

Probably fear that the anti-gun nuts will succeed in requiring laser-serialized ammo.

That seems unlikely since some Dems hunt too, and no Reps will vote for it.

Wouldn't want to actually catch more criminals, would we...

So, back to the topic...

I hear it actually has to do with fear that foreign ammo exports will be banned to import here.

Are your goals short or long term? 3 months? 5 years? 20 years?

Yes. In other words, to be profitable both short and long term, not just either.

That leans towards short-term, because you can then shift approaches as needed.

Short term : fixed income, Longer term: equity (especially for 401K, I'd load up like no other)

Actually secured corporate debt is getting fantastic yields right now. I'd stay away from gold, it's gonna deflate as as soon as there's a sign of a recovery.

Personally I'm long on crude oil.

Heh they can't count presidential votes, what makes you think they'll be able to manage millions of serial numbers for bullters?

In a more general discussion of the 'news' of the current economy, and indirectly how it affects the political policies:

Where do people think the economy is 'working' for investing today?

- There's always the 'doom and gloom' buy gold segment

- Are there any franchises/small businesses that are now good opportunities?

- Is now a time to buy into some investment real estate markets?

- Is now a time to invest in the stock market (US or foreign)?

- Other

Or is it pretty hopeless, a 'just sit on your cash' time?

For you, given your propensity to help your fellow man, I offer specialized investment advice.

Buy a chair and a nice strong piece of rope.

If anything this would lead to false arrests! Could you imagine if a serial killer happened to sell you half of his box of ammo... Its insane to think they can track over 1 billion different serial numbers.
