This is when the savvy or wise investors take action and our economic recovery depends on their actions, the money that is put back into play. It is wise to buy or invest when the price is at or near rock bottom. Many people think that a situation is being taken advantage of, that they are profiting off the suffering of others. This could not be further from the truth, in reality it is helping tremendously.

Let us look at a few investments that might be wise at this time for the right or the willing investor. It is no secret that the housing market is in shambles and will be for a few more years, if real estate is your thing, now is the right time to keep your eyes open. With all the foreclosures out there banks are willing to take big losses, giving you great opportunity. With the size of this crisis is is not going away over night, providing more opportunity for the smart and patience investor.

There are many opportunities in the stock market for the educated investor, I would stay away from this if you do not understand the cycles of money, timing and the basic principle of buy low and sell high. Many think they do but end up buying to late, helping to burst the bubble that has been created because of this. Again if you are educated in this area there is always opportunity here.

Another area that takes knowledge to invest in is in precious metals. This is more stable than the stock market but still requires you to understand about investment cycles. Right now is a great time to get in the game as this investment will do well through this economic hardship.

Consumer products like clothing, cars and other goods are at all time lows, there is opportunity everywhere. Even in this time of opportunity it still does not feel that glorious to be in a recession, it plainly sucks. So is investing in a recession a good idea, well it must be, the only people doing it are the well educated and wise! Good Day!!
