If you had to invest money now.

Re: If you had to invest money now.

I was going to buy Apple or Google, but i dont understand the point since they dont pay out dividends.

I think that the instability in the market is nowhere near over. And, yes, they expect another 2 million foreclosures in the US before the end of 2008, so the economy is going to get more difficult.

But… I wouldn’t “invest” right now but if I were looking for something like a second home or a vacation property, this would be the time. That is a long-term investment but also something that you can enjoy.

I’d also stay away from the rental world - there is a huge glut of apartments right now, build and bought on spec. Empty condos in every major city. Not a good time to risk your principle on meeting a mortgage because you don’t have a tenant.
