I sold my equities in fall 2005 and stuck the money in interest-bearing t-bills and high yield savings accounts. A quick glance shows that my cash stash has gone up in value while the stock funds are still down about 25-30% before inflation.

My gut says income producing RE bought at deep discount is the next venue with reasonable returns and modest appreciation.

Just remember to not lose money in your investments or you are destined to lose.
