Ira is good, if your self employed look into the individual ira, lots of benefits.

Gas stations are ok, but they require you to really invest tons of time personally which is ok if you got nothing else going on, but I'm looking into more of passive income.

Real estate is obviously the big one, I was actuall looking at rental properties and the #'s are not satisfying enough, but thats what led me to commercial real estate, but I may go back and look at some more stuff.

Savings; ETFs; 401(K) including Roth 401(K). Haven't been touching stocks lately but I might buy some Boeing once I have some funds.

was pulling 31% yields on MLP's back in Q4, Q1. dumped it though cuz of storage and capacity oversupply. look for them to come back strong in Q4 '09. good valuations and its straight CF.

MJC///M3 · 06-25-2009, 07:56 AM

beat down financials....(they will get beat down even more).
commodities.....oil and gold especially (ETF's and trusts)
FX currency
cash
401K diversified....aggressive wealth appreciation strategy.
small investment in a hedge fund.

fdsasdasdf · 06-25-2009, 09:31 AM

When I graduate I intend to look into many investment options. For now, I'm just going for a simple Vanguard account/mutual fund so that I have a little experience doing that kinda stuff. I do have a 401k that I started three years ago, but I am keeping away from it for now because it's seriously depreciating in value. It's better for me to keep it in the bank and move it over when things get a little better.

BMW_TT · 06-25-2009, 09:47 AM

Roth IRA, Roth 401k, EIUL, company retirement fund and some stocks.

Gold and Oil have been good. Oil is an ETF and gold is just GLD on the nymex. It is basically a trust that tracks the price of gold ($/troy ounce)...but its 1/10 the price less the fees of the trust.

Financials are ok, but have been flat...bought in...when DOW was in the 7000's...saw it rose....sold...then covered again. So doing ok.

I'm only 25...but my uncle runs a private fund...so I didn't have to invest a rediculous number....for obvi reasons. You have to be an accredited investor to get into a hedge funds...most require 500K - 1MM of liquid cash to invest.

txusa03 · 06-25-2009, 01:38 PM

Well, for starter i have been investing in BMW stocks for over 9 years. My rate of return for BMW has been negative but that is negated everytime I sit in the ultimate driving machine driver's seat.

Spoolin335 · 06-25-2009, 01:40 PM

I have just been playing the ETF's and other stocks as this market has been swinging.
