The economy is reaching a recession right now and fear of the stock market to decline is approaching. What do you think would be a smart investment right now and why?

investments... hmmm... well, firstly, I would avoid investing in anything tied into a bank, for sure!! banks are the reason for recessions. think about it: more money is owed to the banks than has been physically created, all thanks to people putting their money into banks, stocks, bonds, etc. unless you're a rothschild or rockefeller, you won't profit from our corrupt system. money is just paper, an IOU for gold that no longer holds its same worth, and who's value is constantly depreciating due to the way our system is set up (banks!). thus, I would probably go out and PHYSICALLY buy commodities like gold and water - things that have never really devalued over time. hey - rockefeller said himself "i don't care about anyone but my family", so why should i trust that i'll be saved if i invest in his system? no thanks.

For me the answer is simple: I would definitely go for real estate in a lucrative area. It is always a good investment, and you can start using it at once if you want.

If that question was asked of me two years ago, I would say I would purchase a huge apartment complex. Or better yet, a Townhouse, Condo complex to rent out. I always wanted income without having to go out and work. Rental income sounds very good for me. But due to the housing increase I was never able to afford one. So today, I would considering putting that million dollar in the bank earn interest and continue working. But I would love to work in the teaching field helping children. That way I would never have to worry about rent again because the interest (even though its low) will help me pay for rent while I can still work and help children

It's not easy to find the best to invest in. myself I have invested over 500K USD in HSFX Asset Management I make minimum 3% to 10% per month from them.the minimum to join is 15K usd because they are big for serious invest and the broker minimum is 50K usd but their trader is old trader in the broker and he has the authority to take 15K usd for public investors. normally they will increase the minimum to join up to 500k when the public door is closed and yet 15K usd is small to them. do not miss the chance for the promotion and offer!
