1 10 Things You Should Invest In

If you are considering getting involved in investments, you should know which things are the best products that will give you the most return on your money. Here are 10 things that you should invest in: 

Land

Owning and investing in land has been something that has brought people anything from a few hundred dollars in rent every month to millions of dollars when they sold it. It all depends on the type of land that you buy. If you manage to buy them when the prices are low and then sell when the prices are high, there are big returns you can net for your initial investment.

Housing

Just like land, investing in buying property in the form of homes or businesses can net you hundreds to millions of dollars. You buy these properties for purposes of either renting them or selling them. It all depends on whether you want to become a landlord or just want to buy a property, fix it up, and “flip it” and earn more money than you bought it for. 

Mutual Funds

Mutual Funds part of the stock market and are a group of selected stocks bought by the mutual fund. Most have between 5 to 30 companies in the mutual fund. That fact provides more safety than if all your funds were spent on only one company.

Mutual funds can net you an average return of around 15 to 20 percent on your investment in a good year. 

Stocks

If you pick the right stock to invest in, you can also get a great return on your investments. This is harder to do than with mutual funds and has more risk, but if you pick good stocks, you can also get anything between zero to 100 percent, with an average of around 15 percent return on your investments.

Bonds

Bonds are another type of investment. The returns are low, but they are a safe way to earn money and usually return about three to five percent on your investment. Bonds can be bought from companies, as well as from the government, it all depends on the type of bond you want. Many people are familiar with savings bonds from the government and this is one kind of bond you can choose. 

Gold

Many people believe that gold is a hedge against inflation and a great thing to invest in. Gold prices have indeed risen dramatically over the past 20 years and some believe it will continue to rise. You can buy gold coins, bars or other forms of gold. Gold can be bought or sold in the form of jewelry as well or even turned into a form of an IRA retirement account.

Commodities

If you didn’t know it, you can invest in commodities like oil and gas, or even foods like wheat, rice, or sugar, and other products like cotton, rubber or other products. Commodities investments are riskier than some of the previous ones, but if things work out you can make a huge return on your investments.

Education

It’s also not a bad idea to invest money in your own education, as it is a known fact that people with a degree will make more money in their lifetime than those without a degree. 

Venture Capital

You can also bypass buying stocks and just invest directly into a company. This is called venture capital. It involves picking a company that is looking for start-up funds and taking a chance that you will get a good return on your investment if it does well.
