Where to invest money?

What would be the best place to invest our money, are there any companies who give us daily profits for our investments?

 

Actually you must be really careful where you invest your money nowdays !

Actually I would seek a Forex Group which offers 5 % for 30 Days

Thanks

Google Shares

 

A bank
You could invest in shares in a company.

 

The bigger the risk, the bigger the returns...... Depends on how much you want to invest

 

Look for a new tech company that has something good to provide to the public. Those usually do good in the stocks. You can buy in at $10, and they will more than triple if its a good company

 

Canadian tar sands - Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO)

 

So anyone ever tried investing and got some profit on daily/monthly basis?

 

how much profit are you looking to make? if you're happy with 5%, stick it in an online money market... if you want a little more fluctuation, but are happy with 7-10%, try a mutual fund...

unless you're referring just to online website money making... in which case, disregard...

 

try domains they make me on average 3-400% return in a 4-5 months

 

Without content and promotion?

 

best invest on a script or software.

 

ExxonMobil. or BP. The oil companies are good places.

 

You could buy GOOG or CAT on the earnings dip and realize 10% potentially quickly.

As to oil, there are a couple ways to play that. I own shares in multiple companies like COP, SLB, XOM. Oil and Oil Services have been hot this year and the bulls keep on running. Integrated companies, like COP are best hedged against the currently downgraded North American market.

As to mutual funds, they are a good way to go if you're a passive investor (you just want to stick your money somewhere and forget about it). I personally despise mutual funds, but I'm not a passive investor.

Money markets are only good when you want your cash to just sit there (while waiting to pull the trigger on deals).

Bonds aren't the best play now, but putting some of your portfolio in them (5-10%) is a good bet.

 

I used to own some AES, went from 9-16 with it... got me interested in stocks!

That's me!

It's also a good place for beginners, because they can see the monthly interest payments, and that gets them excited to do more with it...

How much do bonds payout? are they more profitable then money markets usually (5%)?

 

Bonds actually encapsulate a lot. Companies and governments issue them and their rates change just like anything else.

They move opposite of interest rates.

Bonds can be held to term or traded. If you're interested in bonds, there's some good beginner books out there.

Keep in mind, 4-5% isn't doing too much for you. It will keep you barely above the inflation (usually). Stocks on the other hand, can outpace inflation.

And here's why letting your money site for an EXTENDED period of time in a money market is stupid.

Let's say you have $100 to invest and that you'll put in $100 a month. Okay, let's go with a 5% return through a money market or other investment vehicle.

In 60 years, you'd have $457,000 (rounding).

Now, let's take that same money and put it into stocks or anything that gets us a modest 10% return. We'll take off 15 years too.

In 45 years, you'd have $1,057,000 (rounding).

Anyway, that's neither here nor there.

Keeping money in a money market is fine for a short period of time. For instance, I always keep a percent of my portfolio in cash so I can take advantage of market moves, like CAT's dip today or a real estate play.

But, if you keep all of your money in "extra safe" areas like a money market or under your mattress, it won't grow fast enough to beat the inflationary curve.

Here's something to think about. If you started today with about $1,300 and put in $1,300 monthly and received just an 8% return, you'd have one million within 23 years. Get an 11% return and you're there in about 19 years.

But, I'm rambling and this is a webmaster forum, not an investing one.

 

There's no way to make daily profits....unless you're dealing in stocks at Wall Street.

 

I make daily profits in my business. Not sure I understand what you mean by this comment.



Also, there are other markets in the world.

 

Diversify. That's good advice in general, a wider net catches more fish, but in this case if you buy one stock, say Google, and it tanks, you're SOL. If you buy stock from 15 companies, and one of them tanks, you tend to come out ahead in the end.

Mutual funds are usually a better bet than stock in individual companies, unless you know more than the average market investor about the company and its industry.

Foreign currency is better now than ever if you're in the US. The yuan in particular is a good bet.

And this is probably a longer term and lower return investment than you want, but you should consider putting a small amount into microfinance.

 

I don't believe that's correct. If it is, then I'm well above the average investor.

Of course, maybe that's not so much of a compliment.

Also, being diversified isn't just about having 5+ main stock positions, it's about having your entire portfolio diversified--stocks, bonds, cash, real estate, etc.

But, if you just have stocks (should always have some cash and bonds IMO), make sure you're in 5 stocks--even if you just have $500 to start with.
