Best investments for the next ten years – Domain Names, Farm Land and Cash in Bank

[Charley]

The biggest question for the smart investors is what will be the best investment in the next ten years? In last ten years it was oil, metals, S&P 500 and residential real estate. There is no reason to believe that the history will repeat for these four again. As a matter of fact, these four can slump like never before.

Socks will go down because of economy and its debt burden. Metals will lose its lustier because of supply demand relationship and burst of bubble. Alternatives are replacing oil and better technologies will find more oil in the ocean. The biggest reason for oil’s slump in price is the coming Great Depression of Asia. India and China will require very little oil as they experience double-digit contraction. Residential real estate is in trouble because of the mortgage debt burden. In addition, the Federal budget deficit, social security burden and medicare promises is slowly and steadily getting shifted to property taxes. Property taxes will quadruple in the next ten to twenty years seaking the fate for residential real estate.

Then where can one invest? Smart money is looking at three things. Domain names, Farm Land and Cash in the Bank. A fortune will be made buying and selling domain names. Buying domain names for cheap and then flipping the same to an interested buyer is picking up heat. Investors are making hundreds of thousands of dollars making money buying and selling domain names.

The Farm Land will appreciate heavily. The farm land is virtually real estate tax exempt in many states. The real estate tax on Farmland is very low. In addition price of Wheat, Corn, Soybean, Oat, Rice will quadruple in the next ten years due to climate changes, drought and excess demand from alternative fuel requirements. The Farm output will be something people will like. The farmland all over the country will appreciate slowly and steadily while residential real estate (developments, condos, town homes and non-farm single family homes) will fall in price.

If one does not want to get involved in Domain names or Farmland, the other choice is keeping cash in the bank. Smart people will try their best to get debt free and then keep their cash in the bank in CDs. Think about this – if the economy goes south three percent per year, and you make one percent in the bank – you have preserved your capital. After ten years, your buying power has increased by 50% (compounded).

Is that meant for the Indian economy? I don't see it for America.

How to make a dollar grow

If all those things happen let me tell you that your 3% earned in the bank by taking the safe route is going to push you to the back of the bus.

To stay ahead in earning power, you need to hedge in the right place. Lets say develope names. Take a small investment and thru hard work make it grow.

All the above scenarios you mention, spell one word, inflation.

Placing your cash and "parking it" in the bank is the most assured way to loose value in your capital. Sure in a few years when you go to take it out of the bank you still have what you put in. Plus you will have a pittance more from the low interest percentage rate.

But after years in the bank, when you look around to "buy" something with that money, ie, land, gold, domain names, realestate, etc you will find your 3% interest earned has not keep up with the rising prices.

How do we know if inflation is a reality?

As long as government uses the fiat money system and goes in debt an accrues a huge overspending account we will get inflation. Those are the facts and in a little while that action will make prices for all commodities rise.

No sir, you will not save your capital by placing it in the bank. That capital is only going to be about the same amount as put in, and its buying power is going to be get less goods in the future.

Think about everything you said. We would not be saying how high things are getting right now, (or in the past few years) if prices caused by inflation did not go up. I guess what I am saying is the money placed in the bank five years ago if it was invested in most of the places talked about above would have grown in value.

Of course money can loose value if the smart investor does not look at all the facts regarding the investment. For instance a year ago corn investments were cheap compared today. Why? The huge capital being invested in corn biofuel. Corn commodity prices have doubled in that short time.This is a rare occurance.

Before you run out and buy corn futures think about this.. the growers have caught wind of the huge profits and are now commiting their fields from other crops to corn. Is that good? Not really as that action will flood the market with excess and then the corn prices fall.

What to do? Since corn prices may very well be peaking, buy a put to sell corn at a lower price in the future. That is one good way to profit.

Then purchase futures of beef, pork, chicken and every other animal that until this point in time has relied on corn for food. Corn is a major part of every livestock foodstuffs. Now when this high price of corn filters thru the livestock market and ends up raising the price of meat, those futures are going to pay off. Of course you will want to be "out" of the market when all this extra corn from the added fields is harvested, as then low corn prices will result in meat production becoming cheaper, (play that too).


Many, many oppourtunities for making way more money than parking it in the bank are awaiting the astute investor. But if a person is not willing to learn what is needed to invest in the right place, he/she is better off playing the safe route and parking the funds in the bank. In my opinion loosing a little money to inflation is better than a investment made hastily.


The future holds a high price tag. We must invest in it or lose our purchasing power.

To those who succeed, you are the America dream.


My opinion anyway.
