Sam | Where should I invest to get money every month? |
I am interested in investing my money. My investment goals are as follows. I want to invest about $250,000 and be able to live off the interest while still leaving a little so that my investment grows. Like maybe receive $15,000 month back and let about $5,000 or so stay in there. I heard that foreign banks where the way to go, any insite? I know nothing about investing and I am hoping that your answers will give me a starting point so that I can do more research. I am looking for maybe an investment firm or something. What type of return would I have to expect to be able to take home that amount per month? Please help me research this.
Thanks in advance. |

Your expectations are a little unrealisitic unfortunately. For you investment to grow a little while drawing an income of only interest, and to guarantee that income, would give you very little for only $250,000. After taxes, even less.
If you really worked the banks over for a good rate you might, and I say might be able to squeeze out $1,500 pre- tax (not $15,000) a month under your criteria.
Sorry to give you the bad news. |

$250,000 can become $150,000 quickly with foolish investments.
It sounds as if you are looking for income producing investments and growth at the same time. The only way that I am aware of being able to do this is purchasing a company that pays a dividend and offers the potential for growth. |

With $250,000 you should probably be able to get some professional advice. It sounds like this is a windfall. Most people who have/earn/acquire that kind of cash work for it and know something about savinf and investing.
If you can put it in an account and get 5% (hard to find) that will be about $12,500 per year. So, you are most likely looking at something less.
If you "invest" it, you may be able to get more money, but it will not be consistent, and there is risk. |

You are dreaming girl!
Investing $250,000 with safety, will only give you about $10,000 per year, or $833 per month.
But put it in some good income type mutual funds, get the above income and use it to boost your earnings from work. You will then be able to save more, invest more and soon you will be as rich as Bill Gates. But I can help you spend it if you like. Have you got a boyfriend? |

If you are planning on living off the interest you will need at least $1million to put into a high yield money market account. With $250k, you can do some neat things to reduce your risk and make a good return. One is mutual funds where you can expect maybe 6% a year but this, like the stock market, is not guaranteed.
If you are interested in safety, I would ladder the cash in CDs at different percentages so you always have some money coming in. You can also spread it out across some Treasury Bond ETFs that are fairly safe. Or, if you might want to try something riskier try one of the mega cap stocks that give dividends. One example is AT&T although their dividend rate is quite low. Some companies are much higher.
And, you know what they say... you can probably beat the market by just investing in Berkshire-Hathaway - Mr. Buffets stock. |

I can recommend you to start reading business magazines and newspapers to get the best possible own decision. There are plenty of variations and opportunities, depending on your wishes. But the main thing is - "More Income Means Higher Risk". |

Hello,
I also had a similair problem as you have.
I had a good amount of money, and wanted it to grow.
So I looked around on the internet to find something that is:
1) giving me great returns towards a relatively small risk
2) Professional people who know what they where doing with my money.
I'm glad to say I finally found a moneymanager who is capable of giving me good returns and give me a great support.
On this blog you can follow up all the results that he is making:
http://my-robottrader.blogspot.com/
My money is working for me, in three months time I already have a ROI of 82%.
So you don't hear me complaining!
Annyway if you would like to get in touch with my moneymanager to have some more information feel free to contact me you can send an email to me at derrekmay at gmail.com.
Then I'll give you the email adress of my moneymanager
Hope this has helped you! |

96% APR?
NO WAY
I have invested in my friend's business and now I am getting guaranteed 40% annual interest. Send me email through my profile for more information.
Scammers offer fools to invest in their HYIPs and earn 1-2% daily. This would be the fastest way to lose your $250,000.
HYIP = SCAM
Don't be so greedy.
I wish you success! |
