Seems to me I recall gold selling for over $900 per oz. way back in the 1970's. from PPEN 1/2/2009 7:05:06 PM
Not sure how one makes money in the long term by holding gold if it has taken 30 plus years to get back to where it used to be. I can see where short term movements in the price of gold could offer some timing moves but I am not smart enough for that.

Will be about the only thing with any true value iffin times really, really get bad like some have stated; hence runaway inflation, bla bla bla.......bla bla.

If you think the market will be overall positive in 2009, buy the Indexes (S&P, Dow or NASDAQ), commodities (POT, MOS, FCX), Construction & Engineering (FLR, EME), Oil (COP, VLO, USO) and financials (BAC, MS and UYG). Oil and financials likely have nowhere to go but up in 2009.

If you think 2009 will be a repeat of 2008, start shorting the market or trade the options.

If you think it will be a mixed bag in 2009, day trade or swing trade some of the more volatile stocks that have reasonable stable trading ranges.

Whatever you do, you should hedge yourself one way or the other. If you go long a stock, but some Puts to hedge or an ETF that shorts the sector you're long in. If you buy POT, for example, you could hedge by buying SMN. Only buy 1/3 as many shares for your hedge as you did for your long.

I'm not as negative on making money in 2009 as it appears most folks here are although I may still keep 50% of my portfolio in Money Market until I see the bull market return.
