I think before ppl invest, they should learn the difference between income and outgo, shouldnt need to be said, but when its the norm for ppl to have multiple, maxed credit cards, it needs to be said. With that out of the way, I would personally go real estate or gasoline right now, both are pretty cheap right now and the prices are bound to go back up. Can anyone recommend any good reads? Def interesting in playing stocks and investing, but I dont know enough to mitigate the risk yet.

Sorry, I meant Amex, NYSE, EDX, where, what market? Investing in nanotechnologies in the United States when the probabilities are that we will loose those industries does not seem sound to me.

You invest in the commodity markets?

If you buy an investment, it is an investment. You can buy Real Estate via REITS (Real Estate Investmen Trusts) as stocks, or you can buy the actual property. If there are stocks that exist in nanotech, then that would be the safest way in my opinion. If they are in commodities, then intrinsic values play a big part thus risk is increased dramatically. Or, you could just sit on the board of directors and get paid like the rest of the thieves. LOL! But, whatever you invest in. You'd better have an exit strategy when things get volatile. And they will. i.e. Internet bubble, Real estate, equities, oil, etc.

I don't even know what market to invest, I only know tou will make alot of money in the technology.

its ridiculous to assume you can profit from a technology blindly, no matter how much influence it will have i the future

you can however profit by investing in the *right* company, who is leveraging the technology efficiently and creates an advantage in the market

good luck

Thanks for the advice. There are thousands of companies competing on this market. How do I know which one is right one.

Honestly, I think agricultural commodities are selling dirt cheap right now. The unfunded liabilities of western governments is going to lead the west into bankruptcy. The USA will not be able to pay its debt and the end result will it will have to print the money, leading to inflation of currency. Hard commodities specifically in food are going to retain their value and even increase due to increase demand and dwindling supply. I like Chinese agricultural ETF's right now, I hope they keep moving toward a free market system.
