What is the best way to invest for the highest return and lowest risk?

Answer 1

Risk and return move in opposite directions.

The lowest risk is to put it in an FDIC insured account, like a savings account. You're not going to get much of a return.

The highest return is probably junk bonds, real estate, or precious metals. These are high risk (despite what you may hear on the radio).

Finding the middle ground between risk and reward is something that depends on the person. If you are the type to sit in front of your computer and obsessively monitor your portfolio and stay awake at night wondering if it is falling in value, you probably don't want to involve much risk. If you are the type to shrug off a big loss and maintain an optimistic attitude toward the future, you probably want more risk. But it definitely depends on the person on a case-by-case basis.

Answer 2

Ah, yes, wanting your cake and eating it too. High returns TEND to be the domain of high risk investments and lower returns TEND to be the area of lower risk investments. There are moments when both can take place.

Right now, bank certificates of deposit are paying pretty good rates. Right now the S&P Dividend Aristocrats are paying better dividends and price stability in relation to the Dow Jones top dividend payers. In this latter case, check out the Ishares exchange traded fund DVY. You can go to the holdings list and do some cherry picking of the solid companies that pay really good dividends (still bank CDs will often beat the rate, but your principle remains unchanged--yet with the potential for price appreciation with dividend-paying stocks there is also the risk of price depreciation). There are some links on the links below that will get you there.

I like your user name! Being determined is GOOD!!!!

As to your question; high return = high risk and low risk = lower return. If this were not the case then people who sell investments would go bankrupt... (and we would all have to live off of our incomes alone :-( )

The way to minimize risk is to study the investment vehicle that interests you (or that you think you will be able to understand) and feel comfortable investing in. By studying the investment, knowing how it works and why, what makes it fluctuate and what affects it it is easier to follow trends and to know where the investment vehicle will go...

Don't look at too many vehicles at once but concentrate on one so you become an expert at that one and make 90% good trades that earn you money. That should be the low risk high return you are looking for!!

Good luck and hope to meet you in millionaire street one day.

OK, does 300% return in 15 months excite you? I am talking from my personal experience here. I have started with USD12K in 30.8.2006 and from that time, they never miss to provide me with the monthly return as promised. They used the scale of 10%x3months + 15%x3months + 20%x3months + 25%x3months + 30%x3months.

The best part of it, they have started a new product called EMF that had a value of USD1 in December 2006 and now valued at USD2.11 per unit and expected to reach USD4 in April 2007.
