When people think long term stock investing they think it’s safe.  Call it stock broker sales pitch or investing conditioning this is actually a very risky strategy to buy and hold long term.  The informed wealthy are getting out and in at the right times more accurately.  The one’s who buy and hold are the ones paying for the wealthy on the way out.  The wealthy are also coming back in with now deflated worthless stock being dumped by the investing losers when it’s too late.  Yes you may buy and hold and take out at the right timing, but no one can predict the timing.  It’s better to predict the short term by making money in a up or down market.  Find out how in the short term investing article.

The interesting thing about world currencies is they are practically all fiat.  Fiat means it’s backed by no intrinsic value, just debt.  America’s dollar has been a dominated world currency and most international currencies are tied to the dollar.  There are many predictions and signs the dollar will one day lose its dominance.  Some even predict there will be a currency to replace the dollar.  You may even be reading this now and saying yes, there is no more dollar.  The point is the global economies are very volatile and in constant change with so many different currencies.  By reviewing trends and economical situations, currency investment is done by trading or buying currencies up that show predicted increase in value.

Property and land have historically been great long term investments.  However, most of us see the real-estate bubble collapse in 2008 as a sign of bad investment.  The great thing is with prices of real-estate being so low it’s a great time to grab the best deals.  There is a possibility the values will go down even further.  Perhaps to increase around the turn.  No one can really predict the crystal ball of the future value.  There is residential and business land and property.  Some are choosing the rental investment route possibly to sale out when more profitable.  Others choose to buy and flip model.  If you decide this strategy then do your homework and forecasting and take the risk because you may lose your chance.  Buy low and sell high.  Mortgage low, rent high.

Gold is a very solid investment strategy for many reasons.  For the monetary systems it is an emergency protection fund for governments using fiat paper money.  Many countries like China, India, Russia are buying Gold like crazy during unstable times for the dollar.  In 1999 gold was worth $300 dollars an ounce.  Today it’s worth over $1000.  Pretty good return isn’t?  The funny thing is the media is telling you not to buy and you see these infomercials on people buying Gold for cheap cash.  When everyone else is doing the opposite it’s probably a good hidden indication Gold is king right now.
