Hi, Toni,
Has the economy turned around? I hope so, but that's something people could debate.
Your question is too broad. There's no such thing as a "best" investment, in any economy.
You have to figure out what you want. Do you want to invest for retirement? Save money for a house downpayment? A lot of financial advisors will also ask you about your level of risk tolerance -- if you say you're willing to accept a lot of risk in return for a greater long term reward, many people say yes, then chicken out when the sky seems to be falling.
Anyway, I'm always going to say that the best investment is a range of income-producing investments.
But your time horizon is important.
If you want to invest for a goal within five years (a house, a vacation, a wedding etc), then you should just put your money into a money market account. Your principal is protected and you'll get interest.
If you're after medium term goals, consider Treasury bonds too.
If for retirement, you want a broad range of dividend-paying stocks and Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS). And you want to put them in a tax-deferred retirement account first.
These are my generic recommendations no matter what the current economy is, because it will go up and down in your lifetime, I promise.
best, Rick Stooker |

No one knows. They can guess, but no one knows what will happen with any stock. Period. |

Have you tried foreign exchange trading? Typically, when an economy is either improving, or turning sour, it reflects in the currency exchange rate.
I wish you the best! http://jsforex.blogspot.com |
