Stocks to Invest in a Bad Economy



The economy doesn't look very good right now. In fact, it’s horrible and I see The 2nd Great Depression coming. The unemployment rate is about 9%, but that’s only counting people who are out of jobs and ARE looking for jobs. It doesn't account for people out of jobs and STOP looking for jobs, or those underemployed. If you count those who gave up looking for jobs, the rate is closer to 18%. And if you count those underemployed as well, the rate is probably 27%. It’s crazy, but it’s true. If Barack Obama wins again, or if Mitt Romney, New Gingrich, or Rick Santorum wins our economy is doomed. Those candidates are all following the same policies of big government, overspending, too much borrowing, over taxing, wasting money on wars, and wasting money on useless welfare programs, which don’t work. The only person who can help us is Ron Paul, whom is for limited government, peacemaking, following the U.S. Constitution, freedom, liberty, and a free market. He favors Austrian Economics over Keynesian Economics which is what is killing our economy. However, if Ron Paul doesn’t win you better be prepared to invest your money wisely for this coming hyperinflation. And even if he does win, these are still great companies to invest in. If you don’t invest in something and stick with the Dollar, your money will be worthless following hyperinflation. I predict that the Dollar bubble will burst before the end of 2014 and the bond market will crash by then as well.




Oil & Gas Stocks

Conocop Phillips Corp. (ticker: COP)-good price to buy at: $60/share or less

Exxon Mobil Corp. (ticker: XOM)-good price to buy at: $70/share or less

Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (ticker: PBR)-good price to buy at: $30/share or less

PetroChina Company Ltd. (ticker: PTR)-good price to buy at: $140/share or less


The above are some of the best oil & gas companies in the world. If hyperinflation, oil can go up anywhere from $500 to $1000 a barrel. Gas can go from $10 to $20 a gallon. Investing in these companies will hedge you against the hyperinflation. Even if there is no hyperinflation, you will still profit from investing in these companies, as they are a few of the best in the world. I've also listed the prices to buy them at.





Gold & Silver Stocks

Barrick Gold Corp (ticker: ABX)-good price to buy at: $40/share or less

Gold Corp (ticker: GG)-good price to buy at: $40/share or less

Pan American Silver Corp. (ticker: PAAS)-good price to buy at: $20/share or less

Silver Wheaton Corp. (ticker: SWL)- good price to buy at: $30/share or less


With any inflation, especially hyperinflation you’ll want to put your wealth into gold and silver. They are the REAL money and a TRUE holder of value/wealth. These 4 are the best gold/silver mining companies in the world. Gold is currently $1700/ounce right now, but gold can go anywhere from $5000/ounce to $10000/ounce before the end of 2014 due to hyperinflation. Silver can go from $300/ounce to $500/ounce before the end of 2014 and it’s only $30/ounce right now. Investing in gold/silver mining stocks is one of the best ways to hedge your portfolio against government money printing and hyperinflation.






Farming Stocks

Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. (ticker: ADM)-good price to buy at: $30/share or less

Calmaine Foods, Inc. (ticker: CALM)-good price to buy at: $30/share or less

Potash Saskatchewan Corp. (ticker: POT)- good price to buy at: $40/share or less

Moasic Company (ticker: MOS)-good price to buy at: $50/share or less


As food becomes really expensive, it’s crucial to invest in farming companies. People will always have to eat and the population is always growing. These 4 farming stocks are a few of the best in the world. I would highly suggest investing in them.





Cheap Grocery Stocks

Costco Corp. (ticker: COST)-good price to buy at: $75/share or less

Walmart, Inc. (ticker: WMT)-good price to buy at: $50/share or less

Kraft Foods, Inc. (ticker: KFT)-good price to buy at: $35/share or less

Amazon, Inc. (ticker: AMZN)-good price to buy at: $150/share or less


Since you have to buy groceries anyway, why not invest in companies which you always buy from anyway. These are the best and cheapest places you can buy food from. I highly recommend investing in these before the food prices shoot up like crazy due to hyperinflation from government printing money like there’s no tomorrow.

Personally I'm not a fan of precious metals, but I like some of your other selections. I like dividend-paying stocks (and actually have a hub on dividend investing, as well as one on trading stock options).

Mining stocks did the best during the Great Depression and it will do the best again though. My portfolio is mostly made of up mining stocks and oil stocks.
