Stocks= Oil/Gas, Production and transportation. Even the ones that have been hurt some have been made up for by the ones that are doing well. Aerospace is staying kinda flat last I knew not making but not losing too much either. Finance all in the shit, 1 is paying though.
Have some metal in the safe (that is doing well)
Over all it was a mediocore year, Gains off set by losses,to the tune of dead even. (BP and TransOcean hit me hard)
Edit: I have 2 defined benefit pensions going as well. one is shitty and underfunded so I will prolly not ever see much outta that one. The one I am currently funding is very very healthy and well funded.
x2. People always need somewhere to live and depending on market conditions it can be profitable to sell or rent.

I'm making 4% interest on my checking account, currently pulling in about $26+ a month. But I stop accruing interest beyond $15,000, so even if I have $20,000 I'll only make interest on $15,000 of it.
According to my brother, right now cash is king so I'm just going to keep putting money away.
In Canada, my Primerica rep takes care of all my investing/retirement saving. I went from 1.75% in a GIC to about 8.5% in AGF Concert Fund, and with some more risky money I have AGF Precious Metals, which does about 30% a year.
