15,000 to invest...but where?

**kgwbuss9** · 10-08-2008 11:11 AM

I would suggest find an income opportunity that works and DO YOUR PART TO MAKE IT WORK. I would advice against stock, real estate and other traditional investments.

That is my number one advice to you on this or any forum, anyone who is everyone will try and con you into investing in there idea's or business, do your research first my friend.

Now that i have that out of the way, you brought up clothing and an online store, now thinking about that, there is alot of competition on the net, find a niche, a market and a target. I may have the answer for you, and it will not cost you a penny out of pocket.

If you would like to know more, just a hint i have tried the online thing and it does not work.

message me if you would like to know more

I am currently raising capital for an agricultural trader in Chicago. He's been trading privately for 38 yrs and is opening up to individual investors. Averaging about 5% per month. Fully registered, fully compliant...contact me if you want to know details...thanks!

Instead of investing in property directly, why don't you consider investing in American Tax Lien Certificates that are Government issued and Real Estate backed, offering good rates of return (upwards of 10%). I am starting to learn more about this and it seems to be a good alternative to money market vehicles. Tax lien certificates are a very old method of investing and their interest rates are not affected by the stock market or Real Estate market and stay consistently high. Worth doing more research on and maybe getting involved. Cheers

I am starting a small clothing company in Philadelphia. I am in the design phase now and all the paperwork. I was going to go to get a loan next week for $20,000 for a short turn around. If you are interested in saving me even $50 dollars off dealing with a bank than I would return the investment and interest in 3-6 months.

If you are asking what you want to start a business in of course follow what you like or have a passion for. I was going to suggest stocks as well.

I would personally go with Forex myself. The problem being the learning curve is quite intense and the risk is high (which business isn't!) but the rewards can be rather large as the market is so liquid. Im currently reading from a very good site www dot babypips dot com/school
This should come in useful to some of you!

I 'd never ever trust someone's word saying you will get %10 to %20 profit in a year without taking maximum risk. More likely you will lose all your money if you are believing in this.. Why don't you just donate it to a cancer research program instead?

If you want to invest, here are couple tips:
- Make sure business you are investing remains close to your eyesight.. (same city)
- Make sure you are not investing to a Ponzi Scheme..
- If someone tells you they collect your money and invest profitable businesses and stocks with 10% or more profits, just ignore them.. They are Ponzis.. Just visit Fidelity Investment or banks instead to be on safe side.
- Dont give your personal information to someone getting your money. More than them, you need their detailed information.
- It seems you barely made this $15k savings so do not invest it in new ideas.. You do not have the luxury to turn this into dream or nightmare. Just be on safe side.

My advice for you is; look for businesses with ongoing operation and needing some capital to grow. You can make a contract with them with your own terms. Make sure you see their tax returns and owners credit score and 401k info.

1st flipping houses does not work like in the past now there are limits on how much profit you are alowed from the buyers bank for a loan so you buy a home for $50k it appr. for $100k the bank will only lend on about $75 for the 1st year you have it to prevent huge quick profits so the only other way is to hold it for over a 1 year or wait for an invester to buy it from you cash and that will never happen for the price you want.
but if you buy and live in it for 2 years with roommates then sell it your profit is tax free .with this market i would just keep the cash or travel around the world enjoy life
