Yes it is very possible. I am a retired banker and at the Bank of America building I worked in I was V.P. We did two things one we would take all deposits for the day and invest in the government by making overnight loans. This option is only for FDIC institutions. The other thing we did which was alot more profitable is invest in what is called the forex market which is currency trading. In this market we had an office whereby we tracked currencies and we had a person commit trades on behalf of the bank. The rate of return varied from 1% profit to 9% profit depending on how long we kept a currency and what the market changes were. These precentages were on a monthly basis and we did conservative trading in other words we did not risk the funds by trying to hold out for larger profits as it can go either way the more you try to earn on a trade.
If you want to make an income of $4,000.00 a month then $100,000.00 would be a solid choice.You would not have to earn much in the market to attain that goal, But I must caution if you have not traded in the market before and if you are not willing to do the research and invest the time to follow trends and conditions then I would either hire someone who is an experienced trader or see if there is an investment club that you can invest through.
If through a trader ask him/her if they can teach you how to trade or at least why they made a trade .If through a club , normally investment clubs have newsletters that explain the market.
As far as investing all the funds at one time I would say if you have any debt pay it off first, Next as far as buying a house There again you need to do research and find a property that will increase in value over time. You really need to be careful here as the current RE markets have changed dramatically and the profits of RE are not being made the way the were the past ten years.
I know a house seems like a solid investment but you may want to consider raw land for a long term investment ....Why is because there is no maintence cost so to speak and with the countries ecconmy constantly changeing, developers are always looking for land. So if you research an area and see that wow they sure are building a lot west of town then you might want to find property in that direction.
But to answer your question again yes you can make a good monthly income and I suggest the forex market and I suggest you seek a club as they do not charge fees whereas a trader will. If you join a club try to learn as much as possible until you feel comfortable investing yourself I would say a year to two years as there really is alot to learn. Then when you decide to try the forex yourself I would stay with the club while I made some small trades to see if I truly am on track.
Well I hope I have been of help and Good Luck. |

In the context in which you ask the question, no. Maybe $6000 a year, maybe. There might possibly be one or two months during a year when that might happen, if you were invested in the right securities, but consistantly NO. Forget the fun stuff and invest as much of the amount as you possibly can in a diversified number of investments. And with luck and perserverence, you should be able to make on average about 10% annually. |

You may think that is a lot of money but in reality it is not. But it is an amazing opportunity you will be on your way to having a foundation for a great life. Unless you do what many do... wake up one day and there is nothing left.
First of all properly invested SAFELY you will get around $12000 a year on $100 K. Trying to invest in properties, day trading, etc. will cause you to lose your money. The key is slow growth and if you start at 24 it will compound quickly. People who have money realize this.
The number one keystone for financial security is a house. This goes up in value and you will no longer be throwing your money away on rent. Put the rest away in mutual funds, money markets and such. Then one day when you understand investing you can make a few changes. This kind of money is not "I won't ever work again money". If you have to do a different kind of job now use some money for school.
And if you are going to try to start daytrading or turn the money into more "real fast" and not start at the bottom like I said........ you might as well just blow it on one big party. So later when you know more and are older and wishing you hadn't screwed it up.... you can at least think about how much fun that night was. |

$3,000 a month would translate to $36,000 a year, of a 36% return on your investment.
To get $5,000 a month, that would be 60% return on investment.
Those numbers aren't realistic. Anytime you have returns like that, the risk is very high of losing the principal amount. |

NO...$100,000 if properly diversified could comfortably produce about $6000 A YEAR. With your investments it is a good rule that you can take 6%/yr of your account value as income. At $3000/month, you would run through that money in 4 years. JC |

You'd need years of experiance to make 3% - 5% a month growth. That's averaging 48% a year. How many mutual fund managers average that much each year?
At your age a better idea is to spend some time really learning investing. Paper trade. Paper trade. Paper trade.
(ThinkOrSwim.com has a great platform for paper trading... and it's FREE!!!!!!).
In the interim, work on an asset allocation model that works for you and get that money working. |

YES, it is possible, but risky.
Do simple calculations: How much is this in percentage?
3% to 5% a month -- not an impossible growth considering that in a good day only the indexes can jump up 1 to 2% not to mention some stocks do this much better on a daily basis.
But again, it is risky. I would not recommend this and would agree with the answer above mine.(of foxhound)
I would also suggest: first secure your house with the money available, then do 'investing.' |

Yes, If you invest your money for 25 years in a total stock market fund from a low fee and no-load mutual fund company such as Vanguard or Dodge and Cox,$100,000 for 25 years earning a rate of return of about 10% you will have 1.2 million.If you invest that money for 35 years untill you retire at age 59.It will grow to about 3.3 million.That 3.3 million will give you about about 169 thousand per year earning 5% in a money market account.When you invest you want to take it the slow and steady way,not risk losing everything,day trading or asking peoples advice for stock picks on-line.
Good luck in making your decision. EB |

The only income producing "investments" are government bonds and CDs at the bank. A $100,000 investment in those things would produce $425-450/month for you.
If you want to buy stocks, keep in mind that you cannot buy stocks for income - but rather its a way to stash away money for a long-haul period (like 10 years or more). If that's what you want to do, buy index funds that track the market like SPY and QQQQ. |

The only thing that comes to mind is ti invest in a franchise or business and then you're going to work more than 40 hours per week I would guess, so shy buy yourself a job when they are free unless the job you buy creates enormous wealth quickly. I would think about for-going the fun stuff as you don;t have to won something to enjoy it in man (not all) cases.
So now you have 200K
Consult a "professional" and think long term but here is what I would do:
50K in DODBX
50K in DODFX
50K in SDY
25K in CDs (5 5K CDs)
25K in some ETF targeting commodities and/or raw materials
Good luck! |

About 1 yr ago I invested in a company called aid4families.com Before investing, I searched the company to be sure of its legitimacy. I was never able to find anything negative about them ( not even as much as a customer complaint) so I gave it a try.
They offer a high yield savings account that pays 120% APY. It's the best investment I have ever made and recommend that you check it out. Take the time to read the site and you will see that this type of profit sharing is possible, just not common. |

Funny you should ask! The answer to your question is yes and no! Depends on the investment! I am 40 yrs old and have just ran across the best investment opportunity I and probably 99 out 100 people have ever seen! Most lending institutions are getting 5 to 7% on their money right now! 10 or 12 is excellent! Whatever investment you make, see how it compares to this!
One big problem investors committ w/o knowing until its too late is tieing up their money! In otherwords, spending all of it w/o having access to it quickly when its needed!
Then there is short term versus long term investing!
The development property I mentioned earlier has approximately 35% return on your money (because it is generating a six figure income now, which is proven, with more of the same to be developed) which means you can get all of your $100,000 back in less than three years, or turn it over every three years (if you like long term investing better) with little to no risk involved! Im doing the same thing, but need a partner to finish it out! It looks like we may really be of great assistance to each other! Please e'me at kirkish4@yahoo.com so we can discuss our options! Like I said earlier, there aren't any other opportunities out there like this! I feel this is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Let me present this to you and you can get started doing your homework! You'll find that what I'm saying is correct! Take it to the person above for their advice...I think they will like it alot, of course they will have investments of their own for you (none of which will be like this one I'm sure). Looking forward to hearing from you soon! |
