With the exception of "finance & property" (which is extremely vague) all of those securities are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission - a governmental agency which enforces rules set by the federal government... Additionally, each state (including GA) has its own rules as far as what investments can be traded to its residents and by what methods... No reason why they would be illegal in any state.

Probably an aspiring broker.

I am always suspicious when a first time poster asks a very general question about a hypothetical situation.

And potentially a highly successful one. In this time of economic hardship, it might be difficult to get anyone to spring any of their cash into any type of investment... However, in the long run, there is nowhere to go but ^UP^!

With that being said... And ever since the stock market dumped in 1999/2000, how often have we said "there's no where but up" ?
