Not sure where to post this thread or find out information on this subject. We all know the economy is about to be at its worst any day now but a few people have told me now is the time to invest some extra money into some funds because once we get thru this coronavirus impact the economy will bounce back stronger then ever. Only thing is i admit i have no clue where and with who should i invest with but i imagine there are some dudes here in the stock or finance business that have some advice.

I'll bite. CSV, MATW, SCI, HI. Yes, funeral homes. Coronavirus deathtoll is expected to be over 1m people when it's all said and done. Yes, mostly elderly, or infirm, but they still need funerals.
If you have $$, short some of the CMBX funds with strip malls in them. The fucking restaurants are getting killed and will likely not pay rent and cause the strip malls to default on their loans.
Wait another 10% then buy index funds. Shits low as fuck and while you'll never time the bottom or top exactly, at least profit the ride.
Buy bitcoin below $5K and plan to hold for at least a year. It'll be at least 10K and maybe as high as 35 or 40 in a year or so. Also put in sell orders at certain profit thresholds to hedge your investment, basic DCA calcs.
Anyone else?

I am going to respectfully disagree with djme- The author of the post suggests he has zero experience with investing. I would direct him to a a brokerage firm, such as Fidelity who offers plenty of information for the novice investor. Before one should get into options, hedge funds, bitcoin and more boutique type of investments, they should have an understanding of how the markets work and what they are investing in—
To be more specific, do some research and look at a low cost index fund tied to the S and P index for starters.. one always has to be cognizant of how much money they want to tie up and for how long... Depending on the amount of money you have to invest you can also use buy into a managed account. These accounts charge you a small fee and based on a lengthy questionnaire and information you provide they will divy up your lump sum into a host of investments-
Hope this helps

Yes, Morgan Stanley is a reputable firm.. From my understanding though all their accounts are fee based. Depending on initial investment you would pay a 1% ( could be higher) management fee— ie. A 50,000 investment would cost you 500.00 per year — if it grows, to 55, you pay more...
There are a whole bunch of variables that I would consider if this were a family member investing for the first time , but MS is fine—

Well it depends on your particular situation-I am not a financial planner ( requires extensive schooling and licensing), but pretty well versed in financial markets and investing-
Any competent investment advisor ( there is a difference from investment advisor and financial planner) should do a thorough ‘interview’ on you to determine your needs and tolerances—
Again with a lot of research you can accomplish a lot of what they invest in on your own.

For a new investor both ways have problems. It may sounds like the "safe" route is with a brokerage firm but that is not always the case. Spend a few months learning no matter what options you end up persuing. And figure out how to allocate your investments too.
And then when you think you learned everything, and time has passed, and you might even have some success, learn it all again.

The stock markets are casinos posing as investment vehicles. Volatile rates of exchange and a pattern of behavior suggesting a bubble market acting like early 1929. The valuations of most stocks having little to do of late with earning or liquidation evaluation but rather rampant speculation.
If I had to invest in the market I’d do something like Flower Foods who, despite their P/E have a history of surviving major market crashes (even the crash of ‘29) with only minor devaluation and paying dividends throughout. People gotta eat and bread (Wonder Bread in this case) is a staple.
That‘s an opinion, and worth only what YOU assign it.
