investing your money ;)

perfect info YY1

research your company - go with whats current - I use utilities because I know them. Emera pays 4.35% dividend plus the shares were $20.50 in 2008 now at $32.65 as of today. The oil industry is always money , Suncor, Syncrude, and other Tarsands co.s.

Like what was said - be patient and in it for the long haul

A bad economy is good investing conditions - it will rebound

I don't know your investment knowledge - but if its low a good book is The Wealthy Barber with gives general ideas and practices to save money in general
