"Insurance, generic drugs, and energy now are likely among the few save harbors for mediocre returns." -- VL <<Hi Victor, I guess you meant "safe harbors"....suggesting that these stocks are a safe place to buy stocks at this time. >> yes, please re-read the last 3 words. <<IMO there is not a safe place to invest in anything....there is not a "sure thing" as an investment, not a guarantee of specific returns, and not an easy answer of where to put money to receive the desired return. >> enrgy was up today, maybe drugs too, didn't check. Insurance has strong momentum. (there are stocks in non-.com sectors, you know. Some of these stocks actually have real, healthy co's behind them.) <<All of investing IMO is about risk....and risk versus reward.>> it's your money; We are in for the devil going foward, Libby. <<There was an earlier discussion on this board about the returns in the real estate market. >> The bulk of the $$ has already been harvested there, imo. RE prices in my neck of the woods are peaking, and that is while rates have begun to decline. <<and the wireless Internet are IMO the reason to decide to buy specific companies. >> The projected metrics on wireless internet are turning very bleak. WI may take 6 years to be profitable, if then. Euro wireless is in a tizzy as some of the WI stock plays are plunging. Victor (sold all my nrg today.)
