What is the best way to invest money aside from the Stock Market?
Please I want nothing to do with the stock market, that is a ridiculous spectator sport based only on others reactions and impulses. I am looking for ideas from large amounts to small amounts
Hi FIL,
First consider that there’s a difference between saving and investing. Saving might be for a short or long time but always involves relatively safe ways of using money. Savings accounts, CD’s, money market accounts, and putting your cash under the mattress are all examples of saving. The problem with saving is that while the risk to your money is low, the reward in the form of returns is also low. In fact, right now you’re actually earning next to nothing in interest on any of the methods I mentioned above. Beyond that you pay an “opportunity cost” by saving. That is, you lose the opportunity to make a better return on your money had you invested it. Investing involves, at its best, a long-range strategy. Over 20-30 years money that’s invested in stocks and bonds has a high probability of higher returns then a CD or savings account. A reasonable way of managing your money is to create a balanced portfolio of stocks, bonds, and short-term instruments like CD’s that correspond to your risk tolerance and time horizon. That means not putting all your eggs in one basket. A good rule of thumb is to own your age +/- 10 in bonds, have 6 months worth of expenses saved in case of an emergency, and the rest in a broad no-load index mutual fund.
Given the high volatility of the markets in recent quarters I can understand your reluctance to invest there. Before you write off the stock market though, consider that over the long term there’s been no better place to invest. Most people get into trouble in the stock market by trying to time the market or by investing in individual stocks based on a “tip” from a brother-in-law or neighbor. Take a look at Eric Tyson’s excellent books on investing and mutual funds in the “Dummies” series. Best wishes.
