Personal Finance - Someone please help me formulate a proper investment strategy!!?

HEy will someone suggest a proper investment policy for someone like me who has started working only about 2 months ago....i can invest upto 6K every month....but intend to take a break from work for about 2 years to finish my masters...

Trying to help dad in financing his dream home is another objective...which would call for a loan of about 5-8 Lacs and is hence a purely ambitious one considering the present scenario....

Ive been doing some research on this as well...Someone recommended Franklin Templeton SIP to start with but i thought why not diversify...I can take some risks wrt the investments i make....my priorities are mainly long term but i can take a few risks too...

I am pretty amateur to all this so maynot know all the jargons...i hope ppl can still understand what i intend to say....

I also want to know how much returns can i expect from the various offerings currently available....

Hope someone would help me out with this....

Thanks in advance,
Rajit

Some people will tell you to invest in real estate. You really need to know the marketplace, which is constantly changing. You also need a good realestate lawyer when you buy or sell.

I suggest instead that you look at the stock market. You can get a lot of information on the internet and at the library. You need to follow a few rules.

1) Invest in high quality stocks and no-load mutual funds.
2) Diversify. (you are already aware of this one)
3) Avoid "penny stocks" .
4) Be patient

I'd like to help but there are more questions than answers. You say 6k to invest but you'll be going to school in 2 yrs? If the money needs to be there, you might stay in a good money market. Yahoo Finance(no, I don't work for them) has some great, free tools available. Do some research there, read some articles about investing. I'm sure there's plenty of financial planners that would like to help but you'll save a bundle if you do it yourself. Pick a fund company with no-load funds-funds are easier than stocks. Pick 3 to 4 funds that have nice medium returns and go back 10 years. 8-12% over time is reasonable
Don't forget the risk return rule-as return goes up, so does risk!

Hi Rajit,
FreedomRocks has recently created an Investment Software that will teach the average person how to make money with above average returns on their investment using their Automated Trading Software. This Software is taking people with little or no trading experience and is teaching them how to Trade in the Forex Market.

Many members are earning more monthly than most banks and mutual funds are paying annually.

I just wanted to share my experience using the FreedomRocks
FOREX Trading System. I鈥檝e been using the system for several months now and have averaged around 20-30% ROI on a monthly basis.
