Its a crisis...sell those shares!! In the historic crash of September 2008 (the 'great' global financial crisis) I took $8k to my stockbroker THE NEXT DAY and snapped up some bargains (BHP, QANTAS, Westfied and Coca Cola); boring blue chip stocks. And just watch, plenty of people will be buying up BIG quite shortly imo. Thank-you Donald! [Sidenote:-only made money (short term) on BHP. Also the ONLY company that paid a regular dividend. Seriously, if yr into 'gambling' its more fun going to the casino than waiting for your 'traditional' shares to flourish (like watching paint dry)...Invest in pro..per..tee. Or gold.

Sounds good. I remember the good 'ol days of pork bellies and orange juice.

Nothing wrong with a diverse portfolio. Buy land yes. Buy precious metals, silver seems the most affordable right now, and now is the time to pick up a few stocks. Utilities can be good buys since everyone needs water and electricity.

Good advice. Seriously thinking of buying a wad of gold and 'hiding' it...: :)

However plenty of investors like to have fun too...and I reckon those cheap penny mining stocks would be fun; like 1000:1 bets. Obviously scams galore but you can get a handful for pittance.
