OT: What can we invest in?

 My wife goes to investment seminars a lot. Yesterday they were saying China would be the first to recover (and recover strongest) and Japan the last. They specifically recommended anything related to public works, railroads and so forth.

 One would think that since the government is very very unlikely to let Citi and BOA fail, that their stock would create a windfall:

 Gotta watch those TV financial advisors, though as demonstrated by Jon Stewart on the Daily Show:

If I had some serious money I'd invest in vacant lots in the inner cities. When everybody in America's pension fund becomes insolvent, there will be enough starving baby boomers  to make 10 Monty Python movies. You gotta stack all the bodies somewhere. And there won't be any gasoline to haul them out of town. That **** has been declared persona non grata.

OK. I'm just kidding. But barely.

 It is worrisome. I've been reading and reading and reading about the economy and while everyone agrees there are huge problems, no one really knows (not Obama, not LIMBAUGH-!-, not anyone, what the solution is or if a real solution exists.

Biden was probably making an understatement when he said several weeks back, "There's still a 30% chance that none of this will work." 

 Do I see a rally in the market? Wouldn't that be just too much for Rush Limbaugh to bear? Probably wishful thinking though:

I am buying my Bank stocks FITB. It is real low but we are well capitalized and if to even goes to 2.00 a share that is a huge profit
