What would you invest in if you have $1 million ?

Question

Apart from everything you wanna have, you still a million sing dollars to invest. How would you make use of the money ?
(To grow money).

Answer 1

For the next 6 months I would divide the money evenly between IMO, PD, CAT, FWLT, YHOO, ANF and XSNX (just for fun).

I your not into stocks and want a more stable source of income and growth just put it in an high interest savings account like ING. With that amount of cash you could get at least 4.5 even 5 percent interest which equals 45,000 to 50,000 a year in guaranteed cash for doing nothing.

Answer 2

I invest, generally, in productive assets that will generate at least twice the AAA bond rate, with a large margin of safety. If I cannot find appropriate assets, then I invest in short term debt instruments. Generally, but not always, real estate cannot provide this level of return except in short swings during periods of sharply falling interest rates. Such swings are purely speculative.

Gold and silver are hedges against a collapse of the value of the US dollar, they are not and cannot be considered investments.

Mostly, that means I hold stocks that no one else wants but which are of superior quality and generally are market leaders.

My average return on invested capital is around 21% per year over the last five years when I began tracking it. The most "exciting" stock I have owned have been:

A Canadian merchant bank
A Chinese noodle company
A cable box repair service
An electric fence company
A pharmaceutical firm for cows
A hard drive producer
A debt collection company
A data miner
A title insurance company
A "hip" clothing apparal store
and finally
An underwear company, Garan, which makes garanimals and is now part of Berkshire Hathaway.

I don't hold any of them now.

Buy high quality firms at unreasonably low prices.

Answer 3

certain returns are actually not the final thank you to take a place one million. And being look after isn't the final way the two. life is crammed with risks and you will could take some to get a outstanding return on your million. the final way can purely be desperate after the reality. i think of what could be a outstanding way inspite of the undeniable fact that it does entail some threat however is here:. 5% in oil shares, 5% in gold, 20% in client staple shares that pay 3% or greater perfect dividends which contain KO, MCD, PG. CLX, KMB, etc., 10% in a outstanding chinese language mutual which contain MCHFX, 10% in BDX, JNJ, SYK, etc., possibly 5% in a outstanding Latin American mutual fund (perchance PRLAX), 15% in a money industry fund, 15% in a outstanding small cap mutual fund or money which contain PENNX, something allotted to 5 twelve months to ten twelve months A or greater perfect rated muni bonds. something alongside those lines besides.
