Thought question: what would you invest in?

[dmaze]

Pretend you're running a mutual fund. You have lots of other people's money to play with. While they'll be sad if they lose it, fundamentally you've told them up front what your investment strategy is. ("I invest only in IPOs and plan to sell everything within 6 months" is legit, even if there's a substantial chance they'll tank; "I buy a controlling share of Microsoft common stock" isn't realistic; "I buy consumer debt" or "I buy houses in expensive urban areas" is; less glamorously, "I buy government bonds" is also a fine answer.)

What do you invest in, and why?

I do a whole lot more research than I can do as someone who doesn't run mutual funds for a living. Come ask me when I'm done with that bit. :-)
