What are the best investments during an economic depression?

November 12th, 2008
MoMo asked:


Not to be all doom and gloom, but in my opinion, the writing is on the wall regarding the economy, the real estate and financial markets, and I am extremely worried about the future. So what are the best investments during serious recessions or even depressions or hyperinflation? I’m not simply talking about securing/holding onto current value, but to take advantage of the situation.

I.e., what were the best investments during the Great Depression? Gold? Other precious metals/natural resources?

Hayden Q asked:


I’m planning to start a graphic design and web development business in Dubai, UAE. Here in the UAE, you require an office to register a business name.
But I’m not exactly sure how investments work. Does the investor buy the office, equipment and softwares and I pay him a percentage of the profit for a couple of years?

What kind of investments is this? How do I start investing like this?

November 11th, 2008
deftonehead778 asked:


A friend of mine was describing how he makes money doing investments a certain way. He said that he put some money in some account or something, and people will go somewhere and apply for some sort of loan. The financial place calls him up and tells him who is applying and what they are applying for and all that. He makes the decision on whether or not the loan should go through or not. He said that financial institution tells him how much of a risk the applicant is.

What kind of investing is this, and how would someone start doing that? What companies do I look for and so on.

How much cash money do you need to be able to “live well” off investments and interest alone?

November 11th, 2008
Franz asked:


How much cash money do you need to be able to “live well” off investments and interest alone? By living well, I mean earning about $100K a year.

I am guessing that with $1,000,000 in cash you could quit working and just live off of reinvesting and interest on that money for the rest of your life.
