Monopoly

Monopoly is not a game about flipping. Monopoly is not a game about buying low and selling high. It is not about diversification.

Monopoly is about focus, planning, patience, and long-term control.

The first objective is to improve the properties on the side you control, adding green houses and eventually a red hotel.

The ultimate investment strategy is to have only red hotels on your side of the board. Then you sit and wait as the other players round the corner hoping not to land on one of your properties.

The final objective is to bankrupt the other players and take all their money.

In 2009, many people are going bankrupt in the real game of Monopoly.
