I have $50K, what is the best way to invest it?

Question

Ok, I have been working overseas for a long time and have made a little cash. I am trying to find ideas outside of my own on investing with return of course. I am trying to go outside the box on this so help if you can or if you have ideas that are creative.

Answer 1

After checking the previous answers, I thought I might add my two cents worth. If you do not already own a home, that would be your best investment option in my opinion. But do not purchase an overly large home, because the cost of heating and air conditioning are rising rapidly. It is my opinion that these giant homes of today will be unsellable in the future.

50k is a good start. What you do not want to have happen is to wind up loosing it on a poor spectulation. That often happens to many people who try to get rich quick.

One responder mentioned oil. That is a good area to consider for a portion of your 50k, but only a portion. There is always the possibility that the price of oil will come back down, a very small possibility.

China and India are two very rapidly growning economies. It makes sense to me to join in on the growth. There are funds that invest in those areas and some companies trade on the American exchanges. CHL and SAY being two. A closed end fund investing in China is TDF.

There are mutual funds that have extremely good track records. You may wish to consider one or two. Bruce Fund is one with a very enviable record in both up and down markets. Royce Funds also have outstanding records. There are many others.

At the moment the U S markets do not appear overly attractive. T-bills might be considered as a short term option while waiting for market conditions to become more encouraging.

Answer 2

Real Estate, Stock Market, Rare Coins. Probably in that order, and for all of which you should have good advisor(s). Real estate is first, because you can live in your investment, watch over it, and care for the property, as it appreciates. Where and what you buy will determine the rate of future appreciation.
Making money from investments takes as much, or more, time and effort as it did to make the principle to invest.
