Best way of investing...

Your best ways is to have your money in big banks, because they have tons of capital. In fact, recently the Fed stated that big banks have $2.9 trillion in high quality liquid assets, plus $1.3 trillion in common equity.


Since the Great Recession of 2008, regulatory minimums and buffers of capital and liquidity have been raised substantially. According to the Fed, “These capital and liquidity buffers are designed to support the economy in adverse situations and allow banks to continue to serve households and businesses.”


Most importantly, William Bahl suggested that you need to be a smart investor and incorporate some innovative investment practices to survive the financial downfall.

Life Lessons--Take you pick.

While you might imagine that stock market investing involves spending hours studying the universe of stocks and carefully deciding which ones to buy and when to buy and sell them, it doesn't have to be so complicated or so much work. Most of us should consider just parking most or all of our stock market dollars in an index fund that tracks a stock market index such as the S&P 500.
It's simple, easy and even powerful: Index funds tend to outperform their managed-fund counterparts over time. So consider a simple low-fee broad-market index fund such as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, which will spread your money across 500 companies that make up about 80% of the U.S. stock market's value.

Important work on 'planning'. Highly Recommend.

With the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe, many of us are asking: where are the best places to invest money right now?

It’s a tough question to answer given that we have never been in this situation before. The entire world is about to go on a “time-out”. Even if there is a cure soon, and life returns to relatively normal, things may never return to exactly the way they were. And some even believe the air has come out of the bubble and that we are most likely headed for recession.

In my opinion, the best places to invest or keep your money right now due to Coronavirus are in (1) gold and silver, (2) cash in a safe in your home, (3) a maximum of $250,000 in FDIC insured banks, (4) farmland, (5) affordable rental properties, or (6) paying off your home. I’ll also talk about helpful financial tips during these tough times.

Better understand the role the stock market plays in our economy

This pandemic uncertainty and indeterminate period of disruption, the economic pressure is expected to deteriorate. Falling prices or financial crises, whether they are due to recession or disease outbreak, can cause panic. Most often, situations like these create chaos. If you know how to respond to these dropping prices, investing during a pandemic would not be a problem for you. However, if you are facing a downward spiral for the first time, it might be overwhelming. Regardless of what your situation is, investing during a pandemic requires that you maintain focus, cost control evaluation, and an ability to choose investment strategies that will benefit you in the long-term. Remember that the formula to survive during an economic downfall has never changed in years. And it will be the same in the coming future. What that means is that you can become a smart market player by taking necessary steps that can hedge your portfolio through different options. But you also need to do your research to find out the highest reward options and opportunities with the lowest risk.

In an effort to contain the spread of the Coronavirus Pandemic, many conferences and events have been cancelled or postponed indefinitely, affecting the U.S. lodging, travel and tourism sectors. Additionally, closures of retail centers, restaurants, and office buildings has become widespread.

The humanity will just have to deal with.

I think anyone believing that the Pandemic is over will just be fooling themselves the virus will be with use until late next year, maybe by then we as a nation and the world will have found a cure, in Europe France, Italy and Spain is currently seeing a 2nd wave hitting numbers higher than the 1st wave, the 2nd wave in the United states has not happened yet, that will not happen until later in the fall when the temps drop across the country and flu season begins.

Follow the data points.

Investing is not a game of certainty, because if it was certain, everyone would be sipping umbrella drinks on their personal islands. Since investing involves a great deal of uncertainty, the name of the game is stacking probabilities in your favor.

Real estate as good opt.

Stay underweight as some parts of the sector face big headwinds and real-estate investment trusts also see a correlation with equities that rises with inflation. Exposure to central city offices and retail malls unattractive post-COVID.
