My advice is to invest in the stock market. If you try to make too much money too quickly, you'll just end up losing it. I think the best way to invest is to first know and understand what the best investors are buying and selling. This is the idea behind the site http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas.
Here are this month's best traders:
http://www.top10traders.com/Top10Standings.aspx
Create your own portfolio here. Test out your ideas. See if you are successful. If you are doing well, then take some real money and open an online trading account.
Good luck! |

Hello,
I completely agree with wanting to invest your money. Afterall, what's the point of making money if you can't make more money with your money (got that?)? Anyway, I've tried all different investments from stocks and bonds to IRA's, 401k's, and real estate. I'm really a big fan of diversification.
However, the only investment I've really been happy with so far is real estate. Over the past 5 years, I've bought 3 different properties (all have tenants, and I'm making more than the mortgage payments on 2 properties).
The 3rd property I got was using Carleton Sheets no money down methodology (he's a GURU in real estate, and yes, his methods do work!). You can actually buy a property for absolutely nothing down (NO MONEY FROM YOUR OWN POCKET). I payed over $500 for his course 3 years ago, and I just saw it online for $9.95!!!! This is a steal at $9.95 (I'm actually going to buy it for my friends for Christmas). It was featured on TV, so I got the website from there.
Before you invest in anything, I highly suggest the Carleton sheets course. http://www.alllsite.info/real-estate.php |

There is no way to play an speculative investment in an area you know nothing about, the Forex market, safely. You will lose all your money.
Stay far, far away. |

If you do not have money to loose, you certainly do not want to have anything at all to do with Forex. On a scale of 1 to 10, the risk associated with Forex is about a 10. T-bills would be about a 1 or 2. CDs about a 2 or 3. All investments, ALL INVESTMENTS, are subject to risk. T-bills have about the least risk, but there still is some risk associated with them. Their average return after taxes and inflation is about 1%. That is not much of a return.
If you want a greater return you will have to accept greater risk. Unfortunately, Forex returns about a minus 50% for the average run of the mill knowledgible investor. About minus 100% for unknowledgible investors.
A better option for you in my humble oppinion would be several index funds or mutual funds. Their expected return after inflation and taxes over the long term is about 4 to 5%. But there is risk that during any given year you may loose 1/3 of the value of such a fund. That has been the experience in the past and I expect that it will be the experience in the future. There are however quite a number of such funds that have a very good long term track record. PENNX is one. GAM is another. SWZ is another. This one has the special advantage that it is invested only in Swiss stocks, so you are protected against a drop in the value of your local currency. Among index funds which do not have so long a track record there are several that nevertheless look promising: PID and IWN look promising. IWN has had a annual average return of 15% with one down year of minus 11%. PID has been in existance only a little more than one year so it has no long term record, but the stocks it holds and its investment philosophy should allow it to perform well. Its annual return so far has been 18%. SWZ has been around for quite a while. Its annual return is about 10.5% since 1987. Its worst return in recent memory was in 2001 when it lost 22%. It has had 3 down years in the last 10. GAM has been around much longer than that since 1927. Its annual return since 1979 has been 16%. It has had one down year in the last 10. 2002 when its value dropped 27%. See what I mean. PENNX has a long term annual return of about 13%. |

I would strongly discourage you from investing in forex. Sure it is possible to make some quick cash in the forex, but it is also possible to lose all your money in the forex, expecially if your leverege is high. You might ask yourself how would i lose all my money in the forex, that seems impossible. I will explain.
Let's say you start out with $1000 USD, and you trade it all for Euro at a rate of 1 euro = 1.27 USD. Now lets say your leverege is 20:1. If 1 euro drops below 1.22 to 1.21 usd you will be faced with a margin call and lose all your money. Now let's say your leverege is 50:1. If 1 Euro drops below 1.25 USD you will be faced with a margin call and lose all your money. Lately 1 Euro (since May) has been for the most part between 1.25 and 1.29 USD making for good trading. But in January 2006 1 Euro was more like 1.16 USD, which is a humungous difference when using leverege.
If you are determined to play the forex market i suggest using 10:1 leverege. |
