What would you invest in if you had 4000 dollars to invest?

Question

Investment can be anything, not limited to only stocks.

Answer 1

A Roth IRA in a low cost targeted retirement fund appropriate for your age. In my case, the Vanguard Target 2030 fund.

By happy coincidence, $4,000 is the maxium you can invest in an IRA this year, unless you are 50 or older, then it's $5,000.

The nice thing about a Roth IRA, if you ever really need the money again, you can withdraw your contribution (not the earnings) early without any tax or penalty. I regularly max mine out every year. It's a safe way to save money that I can access if I really need to, but otherwise is there for my retirement.

Answer 2

Dear Philip Waren,
There are various ways to invest 4000 dollars.

1) Put it into a 1-year high-interest account.
If you invest $4000, you will get 25% profit. You will have at the end of the year:
1st - $5 000,00
2nd - $6 250,00
3rd - $7 812,50
4th - $9 765,63
5th - $12 207,03

2) Put it into a 1-year SAVINGS account (20% Interest Rate).
EXAMPLE
Initial Investment: $4,000
Monthly Addition: $500
Interest Rate: 20%
Number of Years: 5
Future Value: $32,053
Interest Earned: $10,053

You may e-mail me for advice. I will need more information about your situation, plans and needs.

As for me, I am quiet happy getting 40%-50% annual interest.

Good luck!
Lucky AL
