The reason is treasury bills are apparently seen as the most secure way to store your money. Is that a bad thing as far as treasury bills go??

Well anyways, I would say invest in stocks like there is no tomorrow. The stock market is so low today pretty much anything is a bargain. I mean how long is this recession gonna last, a year maybe? Well when the stock market is back at 12,000 a year or two from now you will have made a 50% return on your investment, people around here talking like 2% or 5% being the way to go seems silly to me TBH. Historically the stock market has ALWAYS come back. And if it doesn't come back this time then there are alot more serious problems and likely NOTHING will be worth much.

But what if the market heads even lower? Then you will lose money.

I would say there is a real possibility that the NASDAQ gets close to 1000 (or crosses it).

I laugh at the T-bill situation. I would also avoid investing in this country altogether. You're better off investing in hammered foreign stocks with dividends that only got sold because of deleveraging. The countries with savings rates, trade surpluses, and large manufacturing bases will outperform us, their only problem was they linked their currency to ours and loaned money to us that we couldn't pay back.

Stocks for us will go up nominally next year, but only because of currency devaluation. Don't be fooled by nominal gains. There are two types of bear markets for stocks. When stocks go down, but the cost of living doesn't go down as much. When stocks go up, but the cost of living goes up faster. I'd stay in gold, it was the right choice the last ten years, and it will be the right one for the next ten. When the Dow is worth 1oz and interest rates have been 20% for a few years, then you can start thinking about going back in.

You have got to be proud of what Bush and your buds have accomplished.

come on dude, we get it, you hate Bush. So do a ton of people.

Say something that doesn't relate to him for one post man, just one.

I do everyday.

I say something that relates to Obama and the Democrats making the Bush and the Republcan supporters want to leave the country on a daily basis.

When just one actually leaves it will be my personal "Mission Accomplished".

You may be the most educated American on the internet, but you're also the biggest annoyance.

I'm still waiting for proof of that.

He means schooled. It's similar.

I really cannot believe you haven't been banned yet; you do this with every thread, you're like a cancer that won't go into remission. You've asked already three people to leave the country in this thread alone.
