The last one brought less than zero. With the unemployment issue, and the drag from Europe and banking in general, I think the coming decade may look more like the 70s than the go go 80s or 90s.

I agree that the financial market may look a little bleak in the near future, maybe even as far out as 10 years. But since the OP is only 20 years old, presumably a long term investment could be left untouched for the better part of 40 years. That offers a more than ample time horizon for 11% (or even greater) average growth.

Again, if your talking about the short term, then I'm in complete agreement. However, it's important to not fall into the trap that plague so many investors today, which is to buying when the market is on it's way up and selling when it has a downtrend. Remember, it's buy LOW, sell HIGH. So, at this point, the downward turn in the market is the BEST time to investing for the long term.

In starding Ask yourself "Why am I investing money? When you know you're the best, you can afford to tell it like it is. Our insurance business had an excellent year.. that party is over. A business you understand, favourable long-term economics, able and trustworthy management, and a sensible price tag". That's investment, everything else is speculation. Investment is a concept of restoring the money via purchasing of assets, lending loans and fund terms with well planned expectation on favourable future returns.

You should hold more in stocks when you're young, and less when you're old. That's the conventional wisdom. After all, stocks tend to do well in the long run but are volatile in the short term. But when you're in your twenties or thirties and have the longest to run, you might have only a few thousand bucks in the market. By the time you're in your fifties and sixties, you'll have the most money but will want to risk less of it.

'You also might consider learning something about stock options as they can be used to reduce risk in the market. If anything, this market demands attention to risk. '
Yes, I agree the above point. Anyway, you should consider the risk reulted from investment first. Otherwise, you can possibly suffer the loss.

The purpose of investing is to grow your financial profile and increasing your wealth. It is easier to achieve if you know your target and the less commitment you have in hand such as loans, cars, credit card and etc. Invest smartly and i should say you are on the brigther and safe side for future.

Yup. Totally agree with do not invest with the loan money. There are no guarantee positive investment in this world. I understand that you want to generate more money from what you have now but those are not your money. Since you are not going to use the money sooner or later, why don't you put it in a fixed deposit bank account. there are higher interest rate, aren't they?

Typically many people have seriously considered shelling out, but tend not to, due to a identified problems associated with this. Investment isnt as challenging as numerous folks recognize, but there are some things that really must be considered just before diving in the carry industry. Youll see the things they are if you explore the following.
Forex
Yellow gold
Mutual Money
Keep the purpose and time horizon in your mind when choosing your stocks. In case you have several years remaining and they are conserving for any retirement 10 years apart, spend aggressively. Take a look at little-cover improvement stocks or relevant mutual cash. The number of your portfolio from the carry industry ought to be as high as 80Percent, if it is your own personal circumstance.

Never ever put money from loan into the deposit, you loose money. Buy something that will cost more and will beat inflation rate. I would recommend real estate, you can also rent it for profit. But your sum isn't enought for cheap house. If you can lend more loan with student discount get it and invest in house. Use rental payments from tenant to pay for your loan.
Overwise buy silver.
