I think investing in an index fund should offer a decent 10-Year return right now, but don't expect to make a killing within a few years. But then again, it might still offer a decent 10-Year return in a couple years. That's my hot tip.

Of course that doesn't help the get rich quick people too much, does it?

Depends...is the index fund an index of hot stocks posted on internet message boards?

No, but that's the fund I manage in my spare time.

Now is the time to make some real $$$$. Let's pool our knowledge & get something done. I know a few things that are local & I'm going to make a killing when this whole thing turns around.


November 10th; S&P 500 = 925

The real question is how can we profit from the pending collapse of the commercial real estate sector? Naked puts? It's obviously coming and the big players are too scared to move right now, so us smaller investors have our shot.

You don't have to say "naked puts"; you can just say puts. It's assumed you mean buying them and not writing them.

Most of the commercial REITS have been destroyed. You are a little late to the game.

True, but their are still retail property management firms, like Westfield Group that are bound to drop another 25%-50%.
