What would be the best way for me to invest $2000 and get the best return in a short-time.
Not a long-term investment, but a short-time. Don't listen to any of these people's picks about stocks. Buy an ETF fund, preferably Vanguard ETF's, such as VOX or VAW: Here is why:
1-They have the lowest expense ratio
2-Annual turnover x<25%
3-Picking a winning stock is hard, it is hard for me, and I do this all day long
4-Don't invest in commodities due to high risk(beta>2 typically)
5-Mutual Funds are not as beneficial as they used to be. Expense ratios and commissions are too high, plus Prof. Malkiel analyzed that 75% of mutual funds underperform the market.
6-ETF's have similar feature to stocks, plus they limit volatility and allow for alpha that correlates with a specific benchmark, such as S&P 500, Utilities.
7-Only consider investing in gold, wheat, coffee, milk, crude oil (all commodities only DURING BEAR MARKETS). There is a direct negative correlation between bull markets and commodity prices.
8-Don't invest in bonds or CD's. Actually never invest. Although money is guaranteed the return is so low. Plus with inflation so high, you would actually lose money if you held it for a long time
9-Equity investments in ETF's and stocks shows that after factoring recessions and bull runs,ETF's and stocks have a annual return of 10.3% per year, bonds is around 5%, CD's varies between banks(online banks have highest, followed by credit savings banks, and last comes in big banks). Savings is around 1-3% a year.
10-Investing in money (forex trading) requires a vast amount of capital, $2,000 would not be effective in forex since commissions would eat a huge chunk. Plus exchange rates are high.
11-ETF's provide stability and tend to give out dividends once a year(usually around Dec. 9-20, at end of 4Q). This minimizes tax to be paid. Also you can make decision on when to sell,thus you control when you have to pay for capital gains tax.
12-This is the most important thing: When mutual funds are losing money, you still have to pay managers for holding your fund and trading. buy gold Let's see, if I looked at companies with above average profit, above average earnings growth, and above average dividend, one stock screener spits out: BRT and RAS.
Both have been falling recently, as both are in real estate, but now what is the news of the housing starts? Hmm, if housing looks up, want to bet these will too? I'm not going to put my money on it, but it is worth a look. If you go with that old line about 'buy low and sell high', these are low. The question is do you want to work for your investment?
Leverage is the best way to invest.
If you have the desire to work with your investment and double even quadruple it check out what I am doing. You are the one who decides the amount of time it takes on your return. The fastest time to date is 7 days. Can you afford to lose it? If so, go to the casino and put in on black, you could double up in 30 seconds.
Assuming you can't you need to be careful about the fees you'll pay to put money in and take it out again from various investments such as stocks.
Anything that is short term will either be really low return or really high risk. Maybe the best thing is to stick it in a high return bank account to preserve it's value until you really need it. I'll watch to see if anyone else offers anything more hopeful but if it was that easy, guess what? We'd all be doing it. A good place for your money to earn you money and not lose its value is to put it into a Money Market Account or purchase a CD (Certificate of Deposit). These can be purchased at your bank and have higher returns then lets say a savings bond. Well you have 2k so that is enough to margin trade (trade with more money than you actually have) which could lead to larger profits or if your not careful larger losses. I would say look for a stock in technology because most of them have been performing quite well (NVTL and SWIR especially) and watch them carefully, don't be afraid to use stops and cut your losses if you loose too much. And never take money advice from someone who is broke...so if you want to you can disregard this post..........good luck ;) [ Home | Contents | Search | Reply | Next | Previous | Up ]

--------------------------------------...
: HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! : I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, Yeah right, this must be a scam, but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well, GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! : Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (Print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) : IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not; and it is virtually no risk -- it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. : PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: : STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper; PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the US Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
: Mailing Addresses
: Richard Horman : 1731 Frost Ave. : Maplewood, MN 55109
: Tanner Wootan : 1654 N. Barkley : Mesa, AZ 85203
: Michael Gillis : 29 Pioneer Ave. : Moncton, NB E1G1C8 Canada
: Marie Geddie : 901 South Idaho St. #15 : La Habra, CA 90631 :
: M. Jach : 1360 N. Sandburg Terrace #705C : Chicago, IL 60610
: T. Mateo : 308 Diamond Trl : Elizabethtown, NC, 28337
: STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc....) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. : STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. : Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. : PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. : NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) : So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! : ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this text, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. : Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. : Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. : Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) : Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message on. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! : **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** : That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. : **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** : Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. : Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. Hi,
