What and where are the best financial investment(s) with average risk?

(I'm looking for the 'unknown and unusual' types of investments that pays anywhere from 25% or more yearly.) For instance, I've heard that certain types of investors will pay you 50% a year on an investment with them. (I don't have the info and have not checked it out yet.)

I had the same problem as you have.
I had a good amount of money, but didn't knew where to invest it.
So I looked around for something that gave me a great return towards a low risk.
And the only thing I could find was a mannaged account.
Here you can follow up my results of every day:

there is no such investment

You should learn to trade the stock market. Many professional traders can make 2 to 3 did-git returns on their money year after year.
All you have to do is learn a few simple rules and develop a system.
This site will teach you a lot and help you develop your own system.

I hate to inform you, but returns that high generally include tremendous risk. There is no secret on Wall Street that has not been discovered.

I would be cautious taking anyones advice who claims they can make you extremely high returns. And that includes Financial Newsletters, they are notorious for making outrageous claims, in order to get you to subscribe.

Your first option should be to fund fully a retirement account. If you do this, and you have extra cash, then one of the best things you can do is open a DRIP Plan.

These powerful investment plans are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.

They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down. They are a must for any serious investor.

I strongly recommend looking into it. They are great plans.

Anything with average risk will not give you that high of a return. Anything that returns that high is considered a speculative invest, and you may lose your investment principle.

If you want average risk, I would recommend a simple index mutual fund or ETF like the SPY.

Cd's at the bank are paying 3 - 5% a year. The stock market averages 8 - 12% a year. Anyone promising 25% a year with average risk is 'blowing smoke'.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Caveat emptor - buyer beware.
