What is the best investment for my saving of us$ 10,000?

Answer 1

You need to decide:
1) How much risk are you willing to take?
2) Will you need to pull the 10k out of wherever you have invested it?
3) If so, when?

If you want 100% safety, invest it in U S Treasury bonds, or CD's at a bank.

If you can tolerate some risk, and will not need the money for 5-10 years, invest it in HIGH QUALITY stocks or mutual funds. This requires patience, discipline, and knowledge.

Or, you might consider bonds (corporate, minicipal, government, etc)

ORRRRR you might invest in some of each of the above.

Another good rule: Diversify !! (Within the stock market, or across the above categories )

Answer 2

What interest you ?

Look at the local area you live in. 10K would make the down payment on a couple of mobile homes to rent out and use the rent to make the payments.

OR

You could buy some nice lawn care equipment and start a lawn care business.

OR

You could find a low cost stock and hope it works out.

You just have to find something that you think will make you money or is a good investment like a new home and wait 5 to 7 years and sell it.

Take a chance.

Answer 3

I would go with go with I-bonds or a riskier ETF covering Latin America or an Asia country outside of Japan and China. Even an ETF in CAnada and Europe is probably better than anything in the United States except an ETF in utilities, Gold or finance. An ETF is a basket of like iteams (usually stocks, but bond and metals have been included) that trade like stocks (unlike a mutual fund which can't be shorted and the buy sell price is at the close of the day), have less taxes than mutual funds (People in mutual funds have to pay taxes on those that have sold out their share of the mutual fund, but you won't see that tax on your statement, just in the prformance) and keep you fairly diverse (a defensive strategy).

Answer 4

Vanguard Index Funds

Vanguard is one of many fund providers but show strong, consistent returns on their index funds. Vanguard's Total Market Index Fund reached the following % increases from '95 to '05 (20, 13, 30, -11, -13, -30, 30, 20, 13, 9, 10). These are approx. but you get the point. Over that period, assuming you continually reinvest capital gains and dividends, you'd be sitting on a good pile of money. I have no market affiliation, I'm a teacher and amateur investor.
