Which type of investment is most profitable?

I am indian and want to know about investments that can give me maximum profit. Have you ever got high returns on your investments. If yes how much???

Occassionally I have lucked out with very high returns. Bought one stock for 1.50 and sold it for 6.50 a year later. Bougtht another for 10 and sold it for 35 two years later. But I have also suffered some major disasters--lost everything invested in the company. That is sometimes to be expected. You have to learn to take the bad with the good. However, most of your investments will not fall into either category. Most will be in the order of 1.50 or 2 to 1. Or on the down side 1 for 2. And many will be a total wash. You buy the stock and it does nothing.

Web business. Low cost ( $50 maybe, depends on your business model) , great flexibility and you are as good as your creativity allows. Check out my blog at http://www.journey2edollars.blogspot.com... to know more.

Rather than looking for any one most profitable investment, you will often find superior results in diversified investments. The trouble is one cannot predict the future.

If you have multiple investments, they are likely to outperform. Most schools teach a minimum of 12 to eliminate individual market risk.

They do not have to be all in the same asset class.

Most successful investors keep some percentage of assets in equities, debts, real estate, and commodities, and try to allocate more to what appears to be the most undervalued. This forces you to have the discipline to take your profits when they have been good.

If you study finance theory, you will find that the return is directly related to risk. So -- the answer to your question is that the most profitable investments are the risky ones.

The trouble is that even though the average return on these investments can be huge, there is a risk that you could lose everything.

The economists at the Universaity of Chicago are fond of saying that there is no free lunch. You need to learn that there is no free money in investing.

The more risk, the higher potential for reward.

That said, you should find investments that have a high reward/risk ratio.

I believe the question you should be asking is not "which type of investment is most profitable" but "which is most profitable type of investment for me?"

There are numerous factorswhen deciding on what to plunk down your hard earned money on such total amount of capital avaiable, preferrred timeframe for returns, risk tolerance, level of knowledge, etc. etc.

You should read as much as you can about the different types of investments available from stocks. bonds, fixed income, commodities, futures, foreign exchange, options, mutual funds, hedge funds, hedge fund of funds...you get the picture. Try to get a wide knowledge and when you find something that piques your curiosity, then go deep. But don't go deep until you have a wide awareness of everything that's out there.

1) Hedge Funds.
2) Yes.
3) Millions.
