The madness will never end when it comes to money. This fiat currency turned god is now hitting people where it hurts; right in the pocket book. We now live in a world where anybody will do anything to get a hold of the green. Ponzi schemes are on the rise since the economy took a turn for the worst over the housing crisis. Everywhere you hear people saying that now is the time to invest in commodity futures and in the stock market. I say stay away from it and let it crash. The further down that it spirals, the more investors are going to be taken advantage of. As the saying goes, “Buyer Beware”.

Remember, there are no guarantees when it comes to the stock market.  It is primarily driven by emotion, and logic and ‘value’ often take a back seat to speculation – or panic on the downside. Either way, it’s not much better than any other legalized form of gambling.

There are alternative investments that are much better than investing in the stock market, such as managed futures. However, one of the best, overlooked ones is investing in your community or in yourself. Who needs the stock market and all it’s drama when you can be spending your money on a worth while project and know where it’s going and what it’s being used for. No matter which one you choose to invest in, you will see your return ten fold. Say no to the Ponzi schemes and say hello to real investments and not wasting money trying to bail out an already failing currency and stock market. Besides, the government is taking money out of your pocket to save all these bankers. Your cut should be invested in where you can see it and where it makes the most difference.
