The 3 Best (and Smart) Investment Methods in the whole world, undeniably, are... 1. Work - working is one of the best investments because the rate of return per annum is extremely high. There're 2 calculations here: the 1st is investment on yourself. Let's say this month you spend $1000 to support yourself so that you can continue to live and work, and your salary end of this month is $2500, that makes your rate of return as much as 250% in a month. That will be 3000% a year! Just by working (for others). The 2nd calculation can be based on your savings. Let's say you have $250,000 in your bank account debt-free, and your salary this month is still $2500, that makes the rate of return as much as 1% a month and 12% a year. That's still a decent return based on this 2nd calculation although I much rather prefer the 1st. 2. Save - saving is another wise investment methods. There's this Rule of 72 used to calculate how long you need to wait for your investment to double up. If the annual rate of return is 10%, then you'll need to wait as long as 7.2 years to double your investment. Let's say if you save a decent $200 today, you'll need 7.2 years to double to $400. However, if you save only $100 today (a mere $100 difference), you'll have to wait for 14.4 years to reach $400. That's double the time just because of that small difference. Unfortunately, not many investment can generate 10% annual rate of return (or more), consistently every year. Regardless, to save is still a great investment method. The more you save, the more you have (by cutting down on wasteful spending). Put your savings in your bank account to give it some boost in fighting off inflation. 3. Do Business - operate your own business is another best investment. Basically, that's when you can earn high return through great products and services. However, there's a rule and that you must generate annual rate of return higher than the return when you work for others. Or else, it's better to sell off your business and return back to working for others. That's it. Some advice... NEVER invest in mutual fund (and unit trust) unless you see yourself as a lazy and stupid person. Neither should you invest in stock market (directly). I don't mean mutual fund is bad. It's just not as good as stock market. I also don't mean stock market is bad either. It's just that if you want to invest in the stock market, you must... 1. Have a looot of time. 2. You're so smart your ROI (return on investment) on stocks is higher than working and running your own business - possibly because you're just too familiar with the stock market. One more thing, mutual fund doesn't guarantee that your investment will not dry because of recession. So unless you're lazy and stupid, I advice you take control of your own money by Working, Saving, and Running Your Own Business. |

Yes you can make money investing. As outlined by the other "answerers" you can buy shares of a company at a certain price, and, as time goes on, and the company earns more money, "theoretically" the value of those share will go up. On-line brokerages will typically open an account for as little as $500. The amount you invest and get back can vary greatly depending on the company you invest in. My advice would be to open a "practice" account for 6 months with an on-line brokerage to get a feel for it. During that time you can save up some money and if you decide it is for you, you'll have a better grasp on the particulars. Use http://secnotes.talkspot.com to research the companies you are interested in investing in. |

Can you make money investing I have money in a 529 plan and
an IRA. I understand those and
their tax implications. I
don't understand how you make
money from investing in mutual
funds just normally and the
tax implications. If a mutual
fund sells something... then
you have to pay taxes on it? I
am not quite sure how that
process works. I know Vanguard
has funds, but I'm not sure
how investing in them without
the tax benefits from the IRA
and such can help me. Thank
you.

I don't think those three people understood your question...or else I didn't. What you want to know is : can investing in mutual funds still be profitable if it's not tax deferred, right? Certainly it can... you DO have to give the government a cut, but you can still come out wayyyy ahead. The Mutual Fund is your investment...whatever trades they make , gains, losses, etc, mean nothing during the year...at the end of the year , your money, your " portion" of the fund has made some money...and THAT is what you pay taxes on... The fund sends you a 1099 form , it shows the amounts of capital gains and dividends that you have earned...there are simple lines for those entries on your tax form... enter them, do the math ... and you 're ahead a certain amount. Most of the taxes paid in cap gains and divs are at a lower rate than your normal earned income...( at least right now they are...may change with a full- blown Dem government...still...no problem...the funds can make you money..( you just have to give some of it to politicians to spend on what THEY think is important) ... but no matter what they take..you have still added money to YOUR own account...and the mere fact that you have, increases the amount you will add in the next year...if your fund earns the same percentages...( Surely, you've seen that result in your retirement accounts) |
