Everyone with little money or “no money” should just use that bit to have a good time. If you have nothing to invest you needn’t worry about crisis.

If you have a little more as a private investor and you can think long-term – only a few people are willing to do that – there are still a number of investments to consider, e.g. agriculture (you can’t eat your gold!), rented real-estate or residential property used by the owner, a blue-chip stock, commodities like e.g. lithi- um, cobalt, zinc, copper and rare earth elements.

Maybe you want to invest in a business with long-term potential such as military & space technologies, satellites and spacecraft systems, sensors, security, cryptology, artificial intelligence, robots and robotics, intelligent software agents, translation systems, green energy like salt water treatment systems, ocean wave energy, media companies (content), waste disposal & recycling.

There are a lot of small, young and non-public companies in these areas worldwide, and many of them need equity for growth. So, all you have to do is “look straight ... and walk.”
