Investment in Gold / Metal? Or Others?

Instead of investing in Gold/Metal/Real estate or whatever, I always consider it the best option to invest in your OWN venture. If you have one, simply do it. If you don't have, make a venture first then go about doing it. Because, nothing else can make you a fortune except the very first idea you love to.

 

gold is best investment option i think, but one need to ask expert which is best time to invest.

 

Interesting view point! I am thinking now!

 

Stocks sank today (aug 19) gold went up....bubble? maybe but I do not think so.
Government is giving money for free (I got the incentive check) where do you think they got this money, nowhere, they
printed...jaja

Then post your thoughts...

 

i bought some silver a while back in its about doubled in value! plus its cooool.

 

I grew up listening to our elder's advices of investing money in gold and was quite amused at their vision, but now I do agree with them. I invested in shares and could not earn any profit, but my sister invested in gold and she is happy about her gain. You can also try it for yourself.

 

I buy land in my country

 

It’s a good decision which you have taken to do investment. Investment is a very good thing to do, it is a smart way to save and earn good money, but you have to be very careful and should invest your money in a good field. To be in a safer side I would suggest you to invest through a well known investment company.

 

I also think Real Estate is the best for investment for present market scenario, we can give second priority to God.

 

I make some very good money in stocks, if you want to learn this business then start joining some trading forums and speak to people. If you want to learn investing I'd buy a copy of The Intelligent Investor and Security Analysis.

I'd do some paper trading/investing first and see if you can make money off the theory that you want to test. If they are successful then go in slowly with small amounts of money, you can open a brokerage account with around $5k.

The major trick in business, investing or trading is not to lose money. If you can master not losing money than you can only make it.

 

Right now price of gold and silver is too high so dont invesst now , wait for sometime to go down and then you should buy it.

 

I prefer gold it never lose its value n it is safe n easy, if ur interested on investing on shares or mutual fund it will grow lik anything but risky

 

Forex market due to the leverage and liquidity available... recently Ireland has accepted a bail out from the UK and since then there has been a massive decline in the EUR/JPY of around 350 pips if you had a short sell on that you would have been looking at some incredible profits for 2 - 3 days of work.

 

Shorting something isn't investing, betting somethings going to lose value isn't investing, buying and selling something within a 3 day period isn't investing, but I think you get the message now. The OP is asking about 'investing' not 'trading'.

 

I also think real estate is the best for investment !

 

Gold really has no value as it is mostly artificial demand unlike other commodities such as oil. Something like 80% of all the gold that has ever been produced is still in circulation today. The major reason why gold has gone up so fast lately is because the introduction of gold ETF's which allow funds and investors to easily purchase and hold gold. Before this rally in gold after 2000, the price of gold over the past 100 years has gone up less that you would have gotten just putting it into a bank CD or bonds.

Real Estate and business such as websites, etc I feel are the best investments.

 

Gold and real estate investment are the two good source of earning , but i think gold investment has a edge over real estate investment.
