If you have money buy up assets at depressed values. The key is to have money during the depression. If you don't then you are in a very tough position as jobs and business opportunities are scarce.

Wait a few days, see if there are further losses and then put in a buy order. I'm limiting my international exposure because they're more volatile and liquid, although they can also provide huge returns.

But I'm older and an early retiree so I am not interested in aggressive investing.

BTW, 2 friends of ours started using Motley Fool's advice ($200/year for the advice) and made 40-something percent last year. They have a good track record.

Buy Low Sell High

In a recession people and companies repair what they have in Capital Equipment, and in Surge...buying new stuff and equipment to keep up is the rule...always move like a boxer to take advantage of every cycle...

I knew a family that benefited from an ancestor who wisely saved his cash...and when the Great Depression hit, he bought land...and lots of it and at cheap prices.

Smuggle whiskey across the Canadian border like Joe did. Maybe it will still work.

Don't bank on a "depression"

[Beagle8U]

By having cash to buy things that will be sold for far less that their true value from people with no common sense to plan ahead, which they in turn sell back to the morons at an inflated price.

Next question?

If 'one' were to "get rich in a depression" I would assume that 'one' would also become a target.

I believe what you want is wealth.

Buy a bar in a decent location.

Think about it. When times are good....people go drink.

When times are bad....people go drink.

All you have to do is change the name of the bar to meet the theme of the economy and you are set.

George Soros would have some ideas. He went into Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union with the full blessings of Bill Clinton and bought up factories, mining operations and other assets at a penny on a dollar. Then he sold these properties off to European investors at huge profits. The last I heard Soros is not welcome in Russia.
