(Newswire.net — July, 29, 2013) Phoenix, AZ–What is the best place to invest money? There are so many different ways you can invest your money that it’s hard to decide. You want to make sure your money will not only be safe, but grow as well. Although investing can be risky it can always be very beneficial to you financially. Read on to learn about different investment options and the risk level.
Low Risks
Bonds: This option is a way for investors to earn a guaranteed interest with the purchase of a bond. Although it doesn’t offer a huge amount of return it is a good way to earn a set amount of money. It can be risky at times, but overall it’s a pretty decent investment to have.
Certificate of Deposit: Most banks offer this investment option, which offers a fixed interest rate. Many investors like this option because its short term and you are guaranteed to earn something on your investment, even though it is a small amount.
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities: This is similar to bonds, but an added bonus to them is that whatever rate of inflation grows during the time of your investment, your TIPS will grow the same amount.
High Risks
Stocks: Playing the stock market is always a risk, so if you don’t mind losing money it’s the perfect place to put your money. You can always buy a couple to start out in order to get a feel if this type of investment is something you can see yourself doing.
- Stocks to look into are precious metals. Although there is still debate over this, many self-made millionaires believe now is the time to buy, especially silver. The recent drop in price for silver has caused many investors to invest in it because of the belief it will increase in price over the next few years. That could mean huge profits to those who invest in it now.
Hedge Funds: The minimum amount to invest in a hedge fund is $1 million and the price can easily go up. It’s an aggressive type of investment and probably one of (if not) the riskiest investments you will make. To understand hedge funds is complex so if you are ever capable of investing in one research extensively beforehand.
Emerging Markets: If you want to make your investment in developing nations keep in mind that this is very risky. Trying to predict a country’s economy is next to impossible, but if it succeeds it means a big payday for you.
It really depends on the investor to decide what is the best place to invest money. No matter what investment option you choose ask questions and see what type of risks you are able to afford. Research how other people grew their wealth by investing (a good person to look up is Mike Dillard). Most importantly always do what feels the most comfortable for you. No investment is worth it if you’re losing sleep over it.
