I have Rs. 50,000/- and just 6 months for investment, pls guide !!!?

I received a deposit of Rs. 50,000/- against my rented flat. I will appreciate if someone could suggest me any safe investment method for just a period of 6-8 months only or is it advisable to leave it in the bank as fixed deposit ??

For such a short time invest in Mutual Fund ,it would be best.

see shares r not that safe if a person does not have much knowledge.

new IPO of REL are on the way.

better invest in that u will get a good return.

if not this,
invest in mutual funds. much safe.

I would say, wait for a few days and let the clouds over the stability of the government get cleared. If the mid-term polls are not called than invest in the Mutual funds, otherwise the best thing to go for is FDs.
Try not to invest all at one thing. Distribute it in 2/3 investment plans, if going for Mutual funds.

It is always good to be put in Fixed deposit. But where you will get less returns for you. If you are interested you can put them in Share market. Risk will be there but good returns also there. Do some research before investing in shares.

trade nifty future

THIS MONTH IS NO TRADING AND NEXT MONTH FUTURE MINS OR BUYING SMALL SHARE AND GOOD COMPANY SHARE

Since you have got Rs.50,000 for about 6 to 8 months and you need returns which will be more than FDs, I suggest you to invest in 5-10 different mutual funds which have got 5 star rated and performed better in the volatile periods.
Pls visit valueresearchonline.com and find the better mutual funds and you can redeem at any time you need money.

good luck

If you are thinking of safe investment bank FDs are advisable. If you can take some risk you can invest in share market. If you can wait for longer period you can think of mutual funds.

I would throw it in a stable stock with a high dividend. A good candidate that Jim Cramer is pushing these days is Bank of America (BAC).

It has a dividend yield of 5%, AND the financial sector is at its low point (which means it has some room to go back up). Thus, the downside is low, you still get your 5% (in this case its 2.5% sicne its only for half a year) and you might get some additional gains on the share price going up.

BUT, make sure you do me a favor and google the terms "Ex-Dividend Date" and Dividend Payment date. Easy to udnerstand but learn what those mean, so you dont get screwed and not get your dividend. You can find the actually dates of Bank of America on Yahoo Financing under Key Statistics.

instead of shares invest that amount in something more liquid and safe. like bonds and bank FD's. best would be some bonds as they provide more return than bank FDs

Make short term investment in stock market purchase shares of ITC, Larsen and Toubro Ltd. Decide how much return in percentage you want. Take quick decisions. One who takes risk always wins
