I think rich people get "high" when they find a great investment

There is always good opportunities in all kinds of economic situation. When oil price started to drop, the smart ones sold off their oil and gas shares, such as the shares in Shell, Exxon Mobile, and other oil related companies. They bought into airlines and transportation providers, because these are the companies benefiting from low oil price.

@akp100 My point is that there are always more opportunities than money. I know of many investment opportunities now, but I do not have the money for it. For one thing, gold is low now, it is really time to start buying gold, but I do not have the money yet. I want to buy more business trusts that hold power plant, water desalination plant, and incineration, but I do not have the money now. I also think that supermarkets are good businesses, and I want to hold shares in supermarkets. Supermarkets are profitable no matter what the economy is.

Well, same thing goes for every section. That's what I said. We just need to wait for right opportunity to make profit..

As long as the rich does not overleverage, the risk is quite low. They have many advisers to tell them what to buy, and the bankers are all eager to call them with great property deals. It is good to have wisdom and money.

@scheng1 Then they don't get too high? Rich people stay rich because of what you said.

I think nothing beats the excitement of seeing a house we like, in a location we like, and at half the price from the peak. That is the kind of excitement that the rich gets. They probably wait for years for the housing price to fall before they buy their dream house.
