Question

I have $5000 to invest, where should I invest it, other than stocks?

Answer 1

Besides stocks, you can invest it on bonds or debt investment, such as Prosper. The interest rate you get on Prosper is based on borrower's credit grade. You can get 7% to 35% on your investment. Of course 35% is extremely high risk. Good Luck!

Answer 2

If you are looking for a long-term investment, I would suggest investing that money into a Roth IRA. Withdrawls are tax-free, and transactions within the account do not incur any tax liability.

Answer 3

Right now, a CD

Answer 4

If you are looking for lower risk, you can invest in mutual funds and ETFs.  If you are looking for something with even higher possible return, you can look into options.  I currently use Firstrade ( http://www.firstrade.com/ ).  They offer a wide variety of investment choices.  If you need to learn more about the stock market, check out Investopedia ( http://www.investopedia.com/ ).

Answer 5

Answer 6

Avnig.com

(Real Estate) Check it out. Its just starting out so the returns should be big.

Answer 7

The right coins would be optimal because right now, its a buyers market and a sellers market.  There are coins going up, and there coins going down.  Some of the investment grade coins are continually going up.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

I would buy an exchange traded fund or note, ETF or ETN.  You are buying stocks with the safety of large diversification.  There are hundreds of ETFs.  I suggest you consider your own objectives: growth or income, domestic or global exposure.  $5,000.00 is just not enough to put into a single stock in a choppy market like we have right now.

Answer 12

I have been in the fund management business since 1997, and that is the most question I am asked.

What I recommend is that you first consult with an independent financial advisor. I can tell you off the bat to invest in this or that, but without knowing your present financial situation, my recommendation may even cause you to lose money.

Good luck!
