Is now a good time to invest?

chrisd | October 24, 2008

Is now a good time to invest?

So we’re on the brink of recession, if not already in one.  Another dismal day on the markets, with shares dropping around 9% approx.  All sectors today in the British economy have fallen substantially.  However, doesn’t this scenario provide the opportunity investors are looking for?

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that buying shares at their lowest and selling at their highest is the utopia of investing in the markets.  In fact many advanced investors do not sell their shares as they drop but simply buy up more of the stock in anticipation of the upturn.

Warren Buffet yesterday told American investors to “buy American” as he is doing, supposedly because many US companies have fallen as far as they can….

…and this is the question; when will the markets hit the bottom?  I have friends who have started buying up banking shares in RBS and Barclays because they feel the bottom has been reached, or at least has nearly been reached, when taking a long-term perspective.  As always, investing is influenced by those human emotions of confidence and fear.

Logic too should play its part, and this is why some investors are getting proactive now.  It is however down to our political leaders to change the emotional momentum right now and we wait on their every word.

Because of the issues of the forthcoming election, US economy

Payday Loan Advocate | October 25, 2008

Because of the issues of the forthcoming election, US economy are in great threat. People mainly focus on how they will choose the right candidate who sometimes, in the end, manipulate the government revenues which threaten the economy.

Is the United States better now than in 1932? In 1932, Franklin Delano Roosevelt began his first term as president, and the U.S. was plummeting into a brutal recession. FDR’s “New Deal” economic policies reconfigured the way the U.S. economy operated; the government became more involved in the economy than it had ever been before. Roosevelt’s policies gave the American economy a much-needed boost, but some believe these policies caused irreparable, long-term damage to the economy. In this Wall Street Journal article, Paul Rubin suggests that while the current U.S. economy is not in the exact same state as in 1932, there are many similarities: the stock market is struggling, credit markets are locking down, and a popular Democratic presidential candidate – Barack Obama – is promoting increased government regulations into problem areas such as the economy. With Obama as president and the potential for a 60-seat, filibuster-proof democratic majority in the Senate, the U.S. will be as close to a pure liberalist agenda as it has ever been. Proponents of a “laissez-faire” economy are worried that Obama’s “hands-on” policies will deprive the American economy of the long-term direction it truly needs. Those who support the ideals of capitalism wouldn’t say that we’re better off today than in 1932. Instead, they’d probably tell you that America’s in for more of the same – a “New, New Deal.”

I have heard so many people talking about this that

Embarabbefe | November 22, 2008

I have heard so many people talking about this that I am sure it comes as no surprise to say that the best way to find jobs in a recession is to investigate jobs on employer websites:

-employers do not use recruiters in recessions because they cost money
-job boards are flooded with applicants

People just do not look for jobs on employer websites. There are thousands of employer websites in most cities and many of the job sit on there for months without applications.

This is where most of the jobs are and I found this far more effective than other means.

I started using a research jobs site called Hound that I do not think anyone knows about because it is run by a small company that does not advertise.

All Hound.com does is show you unadvertised job openings that are not publicly advertised and are located on employer websites.

Very few people realize that most employers post their job on their own sites and not on job boards like Monster, CareerBuilder, etc. because these sites charge employers up to $500 to post a single job. In my experience (I am getting more interviews that I ever have), your chances of getting interviews and hired are much better when you are applying to jobs that are not advertised that no one knows about.

I have gotten a ton of interviews through the Hound site. If you are looking for a job I would highly recommend using Hound . What most people do not realize is that most jobs are found on employer websites and not job boards. Hound puts all of the jobs it finds from employer websiste (every Fortune 500, Inc. 500 and other company it can locate) on its site.

When you start seeing sites advertise themselves a lot that should be a warning sign of sorts because that means that lots of people will start going and applying to the jobs. I really trust Hound because it does not advertise. You can find the site at http://www.hound.com
