Speaking of small-cap stocks. I am going to Baton Rouge for Spring Break, and my dad says, "bring some investment ideas." His wife has pneumonia, and can't leave the hospital, but at least the MRI shows the cancer seems to be all gone. So, she may make it and she may not, but they are selling her business, because she'll never go back to work, regardless. I ask myself, what if it were I, what if I had to invest the money now for the kids, where would I put it?
Where would you put money you didn't need right away but couldn't stand to lose? Gold, I think, maybe platinum or palladium.
Someone on CNBC was predicting S&P 1150, and if so, I think I'd put a bunch of it in SPY, but not at 1300. Maybe S&P Mid-cap, maybe Russell 2000 mutual fund? It can't stay down forever, can it? |
