| I have some amount of earnings apart from the ones that I save for my necessities. I want the earnings invested in some real estate or may be in stocks. I do have some knowledge on stocks but, earlier my cousin had invested in the stocks and had a set-back. I know that you need to be updated in that but – What is a better option from the two??? |

| I don't know a definite answer for you. Maybe a professional could advise you as the best route. With the way the economy is faltering I don't know if I would want to invest my money at all. But, I am sure there is a much more educated answer than mine. Good luck! |

Stocks..... (mutual funds)
This is where a person can buy "more" for less.....Once the market goes back up, and it will, all the shares you bought cheap will be worth MORE... |

| Real Estate or Stocks ---- I would prefer real estate just for the sake that I don’t know much about the stocks ….. but as the case with your cousin goes …. I would advice you to have some investments in the real estate market as the place is at a boom now and you may get good returns for the investments there. Being updated on the stock market is a must for investments there but I find investment a risk in the stock market. |

Hi Smanith
If you are a risk lover, I think that you should go for purchasing stocks now as the price are very low and as the market goes up, you will be at huge profit. But one important point is that, before purchasing any stock, you must consult an expert in this line. You can also diversify your portfolio to minimize your risk by investing some portion of your money in real estate and the remaining in stocks. Real estate will also give you better returns in future.

You should invest in stocks only if you have a clear idea on it, else you may end up in losses. However, investing in stocks gives you a much higher return than investing in real estate if you can invest it properly. To take the benefits from the stock market, you can invest a small portion of you money in stocks by taking an expert help.

I don't think that now is the right time to invest in stocks - the markets are just too volatile.

After hearing the news today about the market falling the lowest in 7 years (?), I don't think I'll be investing my creditmagic points in THAT market.

Probably a good choice, just keep your money in your pocket, at least if you lose it out of there it will be your fault.

| Yes I tell you it is terrible. AIG is looking to go bankrupt by Wed. This whole thing has me really nervous. I want my hubby to call and see if we can get our stocks moved to just a savings plan. I am hoping I can talk him into it. |
