Can anyone offer me a good rate of return for US $50,000 Investment?

Send your response to expat1135@yahoo.com.

Think about what it is that you want. What are your goals for this money?

Do you know anything about investing, mutual funds or the stock market?

Diversify. Do not put all your eggs in one basket.

Investing tends to only get exciting when you make money quickly or you see the end result of a good investment over a fairly long period of time 15 - 20 years or longer.

The more risk we are prepared to take, the more we can expect to make. That is why the stock market will generally return more than a savings account.

To be successful you will need patience, discipline, and wisdom. But most importantly you need a plan and you need to define your goals.

It may prove expensive to acquire that much needed wisdom on your own. Learn by other peoples mistakes. Learn from other peoples successes. Read some books. Visit your local book store and find a book that you like and feel comfortable with.

Some of the titles I have on my bookshelf include:
One Up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch
How to make money in Stocks by William J. O鈥橬eil (Founder of Investor鈥檚 Business Daily)
The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J Stanley and William D Danco

Check out web sites like fool.com and yahoo finance.
Investigate trading strategies with a proven track record over 3, 5, 10, and 15 years.

Pick something that you understand, find easy to use and will help you realise your goals. Pick a strategy where you can take responsibility for your investments and be in full control of your capital.

Systems like the Stocks Monthly system are definitely worth investigating once you are up to speed with the nuts and bolts of investing.

What do you consider a good rate?

Try the website www.prosper.com

There are tons of people looking to borrow money who offer up to 25% interest.

Good luck!!

Geez go buy a mutual fund or cd. If you want something a bit more aggressive (but maybe riskier) try prosper.com.

Insufficient data. How much risk are you willing to take? How long are you willing to leave your money tied up? Do you want a debt-type investment, or equity? What is your tax situation?

I got a good rate you might consider.
How about 7.5% per month?
Does it look good for you?
