.



In other words: What are the best speculative market/investment opportunities available at the moment? Notice, I did NOT say the most prudent and/or risk mitigated opportunities - I said SPECULATIVE investment.





Also: What in your opinion, is the best long-term [value or otherwise] investment opportunity at the moment?



.How best could an individual market speculator [w/ liquidity] take advantage of the current financial crisis?I suggest such people taking out a high-value short term life insurance policy on themselves, and then double park their SUV in front of a bar where they ostentatiously drink top-shelf booze and bray 'supply-side economics' and brag about investing in foreclosures, all peppered with the occasional sexist or racist jokes. Lots of guffawing and back-slapping, or butt-rubbing for distaff accessories.



The return on such an investment should be quick, substantial, and fully merited.How best could an individual market speculator [w/ liquidity] take advantage of the current financial crisis?
My advice is to look into Peter Schiff who wrote "crash proof". He has some interesting advice about what you should do in the current situation.

As for speculative I think you should have shorted on margin last month, lol.
The rule in the market is buy low/sell high. The stock market is on sale right now.

Even middle class folks are doing without a lot of things they are used to spending money on. We are staying home more, eating out less, and can't afford gasoline for trips. People are going to hold off on buying new cars, but motorcycles and bicycles will sell well. People are going to be doing more of their own car repairs and will hold off on home improvements.



EDIT: An economist interviewed on PBS says that middle-class working people who commute 50 miles or more to work by car will average spending 25% of their income on transportation. People living in cities who use public transportation will average spending 9% of their income on transportation.How best could an individual market speculator [w/ liquidity] take advantage of the current financial crisis?
Forex investment will be doing the best.Last week i made 50% of money and which i think pretty good as long you play safe.Need further explanation you can email me at skresources1@yahoo.com
The Canadian dollar has lost big against the dollar in the last two weeks, and Canadian stocks are taking huge and undeserved hits. You have to calculate the possibility of new taxes going into effect for foreign investors, but there are sectors in Canadian stocks that are paying huge dividends now. If the US dollar and the Canadian dollar stabilize and return to the levels of the summer, the capital gains alone would be huge, plus you have the income.



However, there is no guarantee that the dollar value will do anything other than climb, even though the Canadian dollar is just as safe or safer. If the crisis deepens, foreign investors will probably see the US dollar as the safest. The bet on the Canadian dollar would be that the crisis doesn't get much worse than it is now.





I'm not a speculative investor, so I don't have any good tips beyond the one I just mentioned.



However, on the value or income, if it was a good investment two weeks ago, with a few obvious exceptions, it will be a great investment now for those who have the money. Warren Buffet is buying like mad right now.



If you have a stock you know is sound, buy it. Just be careful not to put too much of your portfolio in any one sector or especially in any one stock.



We are looking for things people "are always going to need," like food, housing, and medical care.



Luxuries are not your best bet in a recession.How best could an individual market speculator [w/ liquidity] take advantage of the current financial crisis?
