With the market falling another 400pts this morning, oil dipping below $28, companies releasing arguably good earnings and still falling, averages falling below August 2015 lows... where is everyone putting their money?
Or, in the words of Bernie Sanders (Larry David) are "We Doomed!"? (See link below if you haven't already)

After watching the Big Short this weekend I have to believe Oil and the Energy Sector are great value buys right now given a 5 to 10 year horizon.
It's not like low oil prices are fueling everyone's demand for alternative energy,
plenty of quality names down 20% or more from their highs and at more reasonable (not bargain basement) valuations. it's not the end of the world, it's simply the 3rd 10% decline since 2011 that could turn into the first 20% decline & recession since 2008. I doubt it'll be as bad as 2008, but this is why you manage risk, buy quality, and don't let the market dictate your emotions.
Real estate is still incredibly solid. Of course it changes from market to market.
They said that is 07 too. Before the mass defaults started to occur.
I wouldn't say its as solid as it seems. Sub-prime credit cards and auto loans are at an all time high and student loans are encumbering. Not to mention the stagnation of wages over the last years (those mortgages seemed reasonable based on standard income steps up, except when those don't happen).
I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying it might not be all there as we see.
Cash is king.
Buying McDonald's dinner XD
Guns, gold and diamonds. When people start charging my house with torches and pitchforks I'm gunna blow them plebians away. Gold bars are good, but you can put diamonds in your pocket when we start burning $20's to heat the house.
I'm not sure where to even start with the crazy state of markets today:
Time to buy Bitcoin and dust off the tinfoil hat collection.
Why Leveraged ETFs?

I would prefer 10 or 20 year over equities. NO GOLD for me.
Until Chinese proxy assets and HY credit spreads stabilize, stay away from any long risk posturing.
Chill. If you take a 20 year horizon (and i believe that you are young and well able to have that time horizon), its gonna be fine
It may not be the wisest of moves but Im still rather interested in FANG. As it is, I had some NFLX weekly Calls open considering I was bullish for their ER today. They didn't exactly perform as expected upon market open yet regardless I was fortunate enough to end the day with a profit and increase in AUM. I quickly liquidated the calls and purchased ATM puts which more than covered my losses as I one more liquidated once the 103 resistance had been broken and momentum began to pick up, I waited until it reached 98.00 for my BOT trigger to fill for 35 shares and then (and continue to do so) rode it back to 107. In conclusion, FANG's volatility is still allowing for some strong ups and downs and on certain occasions such as this one, constant ups and downs. Through simple use of options and stocks one can moderately hedge against unforeseen occurrences and in my opinion, STILL PROFIT in these "hard times" Anyone agree? Simply put, as long as the stock is moving one way or another and not in between, there are still opportunities. Just my personal experience today. Cheers.
it's amazing on a finance forum so many people are short sighted. assuming most of you guys aren't talking about a 6-12 month trade and are talking about long term money, I suggest you stop trying to make a little bit of money buying levered ETFs, commodities, or bailing out of stocks in favor of government debt.

no one ever went broke being long term bullish, plenty of people have gone broke with leverage & derivatives, and you likely won't build significant wealth if you just invest in treasuries or gold.
best investment strategy for most of this forum (in their 20's) is to have enough disposable money to save during any market (cash on hand to buy when there's blood in the streets), and be long global stocks. end of story.
Legit advice.
But, seriously....buy the stock market now.
Dow up 250 points.
