Investing is tricky. It's not just what you choose, it's how you choose, when and why. And not just stocks or bonds, but also other valuable "currencies," like your time. But you already know this.
The American economy is probably going to be struggling for some time. For me, living offshore, this may be a good time to snipe from afar and see if there are good deals I can take advantage of, with the stronger yen, and with a level of detachment. That's the what and when--I will look for good deals. How will I choose these? This is where I need to improve--I need to be more literate in finances and accounting... but I don't expect it will be super difficult.
And perhaps most importantly, why will I choose them? I guess I will choose them because I believe the US economy will bounce back stronger and ultimately make me money. It doesn't need to make me money today or tomorrow, but maybe when I'm forty-ish. That'd be kewl. What would be rilly kewl is if I can be there when some people want to sell, and others want to buy, and I can put those two ends together and make magic. Because that leads to at least two parties being happy, a stronger economy, which leads to even more people and businesses being happy, most likely including me.
Gosh, I am pretty young, aren't I? I could start this now and I still won't be forty for a long time. Fifty is even a longer time away! You are young too. But you already know this. Let me know if there are good sources of information out there you recommend!
