SENIOR DEBT "Senior loans (loans that take priority over other debt in case the issuer goes bankrupt) are the place to be. They pay periodic coupons on time and have excellent financial strength at a time when investors are looking for yield with some level of interest rate protection." --Kamal Bhatia, head of taxable fixed income and alternatives for OppenheimerFunds LOTTERY COMPANIES "Invest in companies that run lotteries or provide technology for them. Governments are going to have to rely more on lotteries and other new ways of getting revenue. We own Lottomatica, the world's largest operator of lotteries." --Bernie Horn, president and portfolio manager of Polaris Capital Management REAL ESTATE, INFRASTRUCTURE "Buy real estate stocks or infrastructure-related stocks -- utilities and companies that build toll roads and airports. They generate high yields, so think of them as some downside protection." --Andrew Smith, chief investment officer of the client solutions group at Northern Trust
