Many people are wondering where to put their money for the best investment during the current economic crisis. It can be quite scary with some of the worlds biggest banks going bankrupt and savers potentially losing out it can be hard to decide where to put your money to be safe, never mind to make a profit.
Well there are some obvious places not to invest, the first being in financial stocks. Many of the large banks are still suffering hugely from the credit crisis and it is feared that many of them still have some large losses to come out of the closet. These kinds of stocks are not yet a viable option again and probably will not be for some time yet.
One of the best opportunities out there at the minute (and one that I am following with my own portfolio) is to invest in smaller companies. A small, well run and financed company should not be suffering much from the credit crisis so long as it is not in the financial or real estate/construction sectors. Many sectors are relatively immune to recession such as food (we all need to eat right?).
The point i am trying to make is that no matter what the economy is like there will always be individuals and companies that are taking advantage of opportunities and making money. It is out job as investors to find these companies and to invest in them. Many people say you need money to make money, i do not agree with this, you simply need to look in the right places and more importantly be able to identify an opportunity when you see one.
