Everyone knows that the stock market is seeing a bad time, however, it has always been risky and you have to know what stocks are winners in order to make money. Although the stock market may have fallen as a result of banks’ lending crisis, there are opportunities to actually make money by betting against the companies that are suffering most, namely financial institutions.  There are a few individuals that are using this time to make a huge amount of money by betting on stocks that they believe will fail. One such individual is Joe Paterson from Fulham. He bet that Citigroup share price would fall and he walked away with a return of 1,020 percent on his original investment of £2,500 bet. Just remember, this is still very risky and you could lose. 

Another way to make money during this credit crunch is to pick companies that will still make money during this time. At the top of the list as stated by City Fund are British American Tobacco, Vodafone, Reckitt Benckiser, Land Securities, and Thomas Cook.
