(Newswire.net — July, 29, 2013) Phoneix, AZ– You’re making a good living and have no debts to pay, but you wish you had more money. You have thought about investing, but you’re not sure where to start. Below are different investment options that every investor should know.
Mutual Funds: If you want to have a balance of different investments (such as stocks, bonds, securities) then a mutual fund is one to consider. Many investors like mutual funds because of the mixture of investments and decent returns as well. There are various types of mutual funds with different levels of risk, so do your homework when deciding to open one.
Money Market Funds: Similar to a mutual fund, but you won’t lose on your investment. Most investors like this option because it offers a safe place to put their money and also a little interest as well (although it is very small).
Real Estate: If you want a decent return on your investment than real estate might be something you should consider. Since the housing market and the economy are on the rise many investors are feeling comfortable investing in real estate again. Always make sure you can handle purchasing and re-selling a house/commercial property both financially and emotionally.
Hedge Funds: One of the riskiest investments someone can make is hedge funds. It’s more because of the fact that you have to have a lot of money before you can even invest in one (it usually starts at $1 million).
Precious Metals: Currently, many experienced investors are debating whether investing in precious metals like silver and gold in a wise move. Some believe that precious metals have recently peaked and will stay at current levels for the long haul.
However, self-made millionaires believe that now is the best time ever to invest in silver and gold in the history of humankind. They believe the recent reduction in precious metal spots gives all investors another opportunity to get in at low prices and ride the wave of profits coming over the next few years.
You should be studying the different investment options and to go more in depth of the ones mentioned above. Successful investors like Warren Buffet and Mike Dillard have figured out where to put their money for maximum capital gains. The investment options mentioned above are not the only ways to invest your money. They are just to give you an idea of what is offered to investors. Nothing is fool-proof, but knowing what you’re getting into beforehand will give you an edge of other investors especially those who are starting out.
