"A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful."

- Warren Buffett

Buffett focusses on stocks and bonds. I would focus on land. It seems to me that this is an excellent time to buy a piece of homestead land. Try for abundant water and firewood trees. Go for low taxes, which equate to minimal local bureaucracy, which means a high level of freedom. Go for a climate with a good growing season. Don't be overly concerned about soil quality; whatever is there can be made into good garden soil through additions of organic materials, compost and animal manure. If you must drive to employment, then miles to town are a consideration.

Get all the acres you can.

I'm pretty sure it is less discomfiting to a dog than the shock collars long in use.
