I cannot tell you were to invest but I can tell you where to divest. If you own defense industry stock, sell now.

Yep. And financials. And oil/coal.

Good investments would be steel, concrete, aluminum, municipal bonds, and alternative energy. T Boone Pickens must be a happy man today.

If you want to make money in an Obama presidency, spend (or hide) all of your cash. Get paid under the table. Rack up a lot of credit card debt and take out a second loan on your house to withdraw all the equity. Hide all of that too, preferably in offshore accounts.

Then stop paying your mortgage and credit cards and complain that the evil rich people are holding you back. This will work especially well if you have some "disadvantage" that you can bank on. Examples include:
having more than the average amount of melanin in your skin.
having female reproductive organs.
pretending to have female reproductive organs.
lying (this is a big one).
making stupid decisions.

Best of luck!

You may want to consider collectibles. Super High End stuff like Fine Art is hurting a bit right now... That stuff is so crazy expensive anyway... I'd suggest looking into Comic Books, Comic Book Art, vintage toys...

Hahahahahaha, right?! Anything related to the coal industry, too, I'd imagine!

Cap and trade is coming. It's a global idea endorsed by the UN as well as many of our own politicians like Al Gore and John McCain.
