And here is an interesting website that shows you the scale of the USD visually by stacking them in piles of $100 bills. It is quite interesting/shocking.

oil. coal. monsanto. they own the government so they are going up up up.

Missile Defense contracts

always need em and as of right now my profit is skyrocketing due to North Korea's propaganda

be careful with metals. If china wanted, they can drop prices by like 80% literally. And they have done so with some.

a bit in stocks, a bit in money markets, a bit in mutual funds.

pointless to put it in savings acct imo. throw it in a conservative mutual fund. you may lose $, but you will lose less

highly speculative biotechs

Real estate.

what biotechs are those, if you dont mind saying? im curious as to what else is in the bio field.

Mostly small companies that develop NMEs

I don't actually invest in them, but I did a stock market challenge, and that's where I put all my fake money. Very high risk/high reward. I lost a lot of fake dollars.

I had a huge list of them.

ah okay, was just asking cuz i invest in a few biochem facilities in my area.
