Hm...good question. I think the key point is to look out in sectors and areas that will see reasonable growth over this period, but bear in mind that you may want to look at locking down your investments more for the long-term, and more away from short-term strategies due to the current volatility.
I have to slightly disagree with you Brian. The current volatility has been great (but you really need to have the knowledge and discipline).
Profits will be made in any market, regardless of the market/economic conditions.
If you lack the expereince/knowledge/discipline, etc. then you should not trade the markets in the first place and you should pick up bargains for the longer-term.
