When you decide to invest in the market there are several things you should necessarily take into consideration. If you study the market trend, if you make wise choices and if you have a little luck, then you will most likely be able to have an interesting and positive return on your investment. Nothing makes an investor more devastated than the fact of having to rely on year-end losses instead of profits. The recession that recently has hit thousands of investors is the proof.
Some experts say it is a good time to invest again in the market, if until now you have been on the sidelines. The question is, where to invest? And if you were to reinvest in something that could then lose value? Fears of a recession is loose, but not disappeared. The development of  currencies leaves many with the doubt of wondering where to invest.
We’re going to see some “safe harbors” that investors have already used successfully in previous years, where the stock market seemed to be more inhospitable.
Investment in services. Since most service companies operate under rate regulation at the state level, the U.S. power companies listed on stock exchanges are often regarded as an area that will not go down, even in difficult times. Although government regulations have a major impact on profitability, the highly regulated environment also protects against fluctuations. Some of the biggest names on which you can choose to invest are Exelon, FirstEnergy and Mirant.
Blue-Chips. Investors may have had a bad experience with GM, but there are other companies that are still going strong even after years, like General Electric and Pfizer. Even McDonald’s is one of the favorite stocks and low-risk, especially when long-term investment.
