Money Follow the Money? - Page 3

Major changes have happened to this country in the last year and it looks like 2021 could be even more volatile.

* Restrictions have devastated small businesses- bars, restaurants, and boutique clothing stores failing at record numbers.

* Strip Malls / Outlet Centers are ghost towns and either up for auction or being abandoned across the country.

* Owners trying to cash out of commercial Real Estate.

* Rent is high and Residential Real Estate is at the top of a bubble.

* Stock Market close to an All-Time high.

* Fuel and Energy cost - very low.

* Big Box Retail - Sear, Kmart, JC Pennys, and many others- in a death spiral.

So where are you going to park your money in 2021 and beyond?

Gas and oil demand will spiral downward as the world is moving on from ICE and into EV. The health industry is getting a huge boost in the next few years due to genome sequencing. Life expectancy will be 120 years and that means nursing homes will be a big deal since we'll get to now spend 30 years in one with someone wiping our ass for us.

The commercial properties market looks like it is heading for hard times. Lots of nice office buildings up for sale right now. CVS and Wal-Green properties are for sale as well. I have owned residential rental property before and don't want the hassle- but I would look at holding mortgages. Seems like the safer bet.

Health care REITs look pretty good right now, so do their stocks. I might have to expand into some of these. Good advice!

Spread it out, diversify...

Real estate, BTC, precious metals and when it comes to stocks, pick the biggest industry leaders/blue chips you can find.

Small companies are being smothered. The AMZN's of the world will be standing alone...

For speculation, look to EV and Chinese stocks. Don't worry about the delisting of Chinese stocks. Beijing Biden won't let that happen. China is up and coming. We're going down.

Where I live, dispensaries are as ubiquitous as grocery, liquor and pharmacies.

Dude. My friend and I were texting the other day about something simple you'd do if you were rich.

I said get new socks every week.

We are the same person!!!!

Are you saying people are getting out of traditional investments and parking their money into cyber money? :-)

Seems pretty risky.

More impervious from government failures and bad monetary policy.

Monitored risk is no risk at all.

I rarely agree with you but this is 100% correct. :-)

Follow the weed farms.

You can't eat weed. This year has shown us that the food chain is very delicate. Any disruption and the pantry goes bare pretty fast.

Farmland seems very expensive right now. Indoor growers are far more efficient.
