I'm an amazing technician and can spot great opportunities for all types of investors. However, I am not active enough on this site so I will be picking low beta, high growth, high value stocks which will survive in a tremendously bearish market. Sure, you could buy silver and gold but this market will favor investors who are prudent as the inflation - deflation play will clash with high unemployment and geopolitical turmoil for quite some time. I would advise all investors to be stocked up in most areas of necessity, energy & govt independence, before putting conservative money to work. A key factor in determining the bottom will be when either of the following occurs - Fed raises rates, jobs data edges higher, and a booming alternative energy business. My 3 main recommendations lie in South America, solar power, and bonds.
