Looking to invest, any ideas?

I am looking to make an investment, but have no clue where to put my money. What rising industries should I put my money in?

Going "Green" and "alternatives" energy sources seems to be buzzing around a lot lately. To me it seems like something to look into.

First off, don't give any money to the above people. Second off, never let anyone else manage your money.

With that being said here is what I would invest in:
Direct commodities (guns, food, gold, silver etc)
Rental properties
Farm Land
Dividend stocks.

What isn't an investment (despite what others say)
Bonds - worst investment you can make.
Stocks - This isn't investing, its gambling.

Increase Your Financial IQ First!

The best investment one can ever make is in taking the time to truly understand how the money game works. Too many people are much more interested in the quick-hitting scheme, or trying to find a short-cut to real wealth. You have to truly understand the process of how money works before one can start out on trying to escape the daily financial Rat Race.

My advice before you start 'investing' is to get financially educated on all the different ways in which you could 'invest.' For example, say you picked a particular industry. You could invest in it by way of stocks in companies in that industry, you could buy real estate and rent it to a business in that industry, or you could even start you own business in that industry.

Everybody has an opinion on 'where' and in 'what' you should invest in, but I think we have all seen the fallout in the economy of what happens when you leave your decision making to so called 'experts.'

So look after yourself and pick up a good book on your journey. To get a taste of different ways to invest, I'd suggest one of my favorite books by Robert Allen, "Multiple Streams of Income."

Here's the link: Multiple Streams of Income: How to Generate a Lifetime of Unlimited Wealth: Amazon.ca: Robert G. Allen: Books

To Your Success!

Ok, that's enough.
You're new here. You come on and post a bunch of articles out of your magazine then you post phoney threads like this one getting people's hopes up.

You're using clever marketing techniques but that's about all you're doing. Nothing wrong with trying to generate business, but don't cross the line and start getting spammy.

Farm Land?? I'd be very interested in hearing your reasoning behind this. What would he do with it? Farm?

Stocks? There is a difference between gambling and calculated risk. Stocks when put in the hands of the right person is just as calculated and "risky" as starting your own business with your own money.

Leting other people manage your money. While i partially agree with this, some times its just not an option. There are plenty of people that can manage your money well and produce great return. The amount you earn and the fee you pay can be equivalent if not better than running a small business and paying employees.

As far as ignoring the post above his. I would not go as far as calling you an idiot like myfayt but a good investor would never pass up the opportunity to listen to a good idea. Not unless it was so far outside his comfort zone it was a waste of time.

Enjoy LIfe,
Nick

Well it's wrong to say, hey don't invest in those people because they are noobies and don't know what they are doing.

I have owned a successful business, now starting another. Now if I've been a failure all my life and have no experience, then yes don't think twice about me. But I have lots of experience, knowledge, and will to succeed. So saying something like that without even knowing me is the wrong thing to do. Makes you look stupid.

I'm afraid you are confused in what I said my friend. KILLERS first line was to shun the people that put forth an idea. You responded and called him an idiot saying that there are professionals on this site.

My response simply backed you up in a more hospitable way. I said, as an investor, (which i guess I'm finding he is not) DRIVEN should be eager to hear any and all opportunities that come his way.

Hopefully that clears it up for you.

PS. if you were just clearing up why you chose the word idiot in your post, then disregard the above. As I agree with what you are saying, just not the choice of words.

Enjoy Life,
Nick

Just a little miscommunication is all. I was just explaining about myself and why it is wrong for him to say something so stupid like that. I only quoted your post because it seemed like you thought it was also wrong for me to call him an idiot.

Idea from me.

In my opinion, what you invest in depends on how much investible funds you have. It I know how much you are willing to invest and a reasonable ROI you expect, I should be able to come up with a suitable idea.

However, if you can get a company that purchases gold dust, I may be able to link you with regular supply which can help you turn over your money without giving it out to anyone to manage for you.

I may be reached at xtayle at gmail dot com or +234 702 709 9121 or =234 803 351 1538.

I agree with Rich Grads. Ever since I've been in business, there are very few people I've met who have become wealthy without being educated and experiencing personal growth. Your best bet is to invest in your own education, read book after book, throw ideas around with people, try and mix with the right people and eventually you'll find the answer.
